Case Study: Bluestone achieves secure, compliant disaster recovery and 40% cost reduction with 11:11 Systems

In the heavily regulated Financial Services industry, Bluestone innovates in the cloud

Bluestone, a fast-growing financial services firm with offices in the UK, Ireland and Australasia, needed a secure, compliant disaster recovery solution as it moved to a cloud-first strategy. Facing expiring legacy contracts and strict regulator requirements from the Financial Conduct Authority plus ISO 27001 obligations, the IT team sought a cost-effective, low-overhead DR approach without hiring dedicated DR specialists.

Working with cloud consultancy Behind Every Cloud, Bluestone selected iland’s DRaaS for its strong RTO/RPO performance, built-in advanced security and compliance reporting, and intuitive management console. The solution delivers non-intrusive testing, pay-for-failover pricing and expert compliance support, cutting Bluestone’s DR costs by about 40%, reducing maintenance overhead to nearly zero, and helping the company meet FCA and ISO 27001 requirements.
