NPS saves £600k and achieves instant ROI with Teneo
Teneo, a leading infrastructure optimisation
specialist, has installed Riverbed Steelhead appliances to optimise
NPS Group’s traffic and enable a consolidated IT infrastructure,
saving over £600,000 in cumulative costs during the install period
alone.
NPS has 30 UK offices delivering a range of property services. It
has over 2,500 employees using over 115 applications from basic
office suites to intranet and web- based applications. The main
types of network traffic are RTP (IP Telephony), streaming media,
HTTP/S, SQL, active directory, CIFS (file transfers) and email.
In 2007, NPS needed to restructure and consolidate its IT
infrastructure following a period of rapid growth. Users were
processing more transactions and making more data requests for files
or emails which were previously served by local infrastructure but
were all now moving over the WAN.
Without a solution in place, NPS was unable to backup its servers
overnight and was suffering from congested networks and diminishing
application performance. AutoCAD files in particular were
nightmarishly slow. Traffic needed to be optimised to make
consolidation possible. NPS turned to Teneo which recommended
Riverbed Steelhead appliances.
Teneo offered a free trial of Riverbed Steelhead to be installed
across the slowest VPN sites linking two offices in Kendal. This
provided a snapshot of the impact that the appliances could make to
the organization as a whole. The trial generated a dramatic
improvement in application performance between the two offices and
users felt as if they were getting the performance of a local
infrastructure. The trial clearly demonstrated that the Steelheads
would provide the performance needed to move to a consolidated
infrastructure.
Rollout throughout the company enabled a consolidated IT
infrastructure and provided instant ROI and identifiable savings of
over £600k* during the install period compared to the cumulative
costs of the alternative increase in bandwidth and WAN services to
achieve the same result. There has been a total data reduction of 96
per cent with capacity savings of up to 96 per cent and performance
increases of over 25 Mbps have been made.
NPS' data centre now provides services to remote offices without
having servers on site. In addition Steelheads have provided
increased data security. If a link goes down the Steelheads read any
data. The Steelheads enable NPS to perform backup and data
replication processes with even greater frequency and regularity
than before, which of course further enhances data security.
Commenting on the installation, which has recently been shortlisted
for a Channel Network Award, Shaun Morgan, northern data centre
manager, NPS Group commented:
“The annual spend on WAN was already £220,000 and rising as new
offices were commissioned. We turned to Teneo because of its
Riverbed expertise and clear value-add to the solution. It provided
us with highly skilled technical staff and proved to be a fantastic
partner to work with. The communication lines were constantly open
and enabled us to fast track implementation. The solution
immediately delivered a return on investment.”
Teneo was named by Riverbed Technology as its Northern European
Reseller of the Year for the second year running in the summer of
2008 in recognition for Teneo's sales growth and level of
understanding and support it provides to its customers.
Riverbed Technology is the technology and market leader in wide-area
data services (WDS) solutions for companies worldwide. Riverbed
Steelhead appliances accelerate application performance typically by
five to 50 times and in some cases up to 100 times over the WAN, and
reduce WAN bandwidth utilisation typically by 60 to 95 per cent.
The Steelheads enable an existing legacy WAN infrastructure to
replicate vast amounts of data. The Steelhead solution can allow an
existing E1 or DS-3 WAN infrastructure to efficiently and
cost-effectively transport hundreds of Gigabytes of multiple
Terabytes of data, within a matter of hours.
James Hall, marketing director, Teneo added: “NPS provides a clear
illustration of the results that can be achieved with Riverbed. Not
just in terms of network optimisation, but also data security and
impressive cost savings.”Email:
