Case Study: Crossrail Ltd achieves rapid, resilient project IT with Cloud Pro

Crossrail - managing complexity through the cloud

Crossrail Ltd faced the challenge of bringing together multiple organisations on a highly complex, fast-moving rail project while needing a separate, robust IT environment for Team BFK’s project office and satellite sites. Cloud Pro helped provide the cloud-based infrastructure and support needed for the Crossrail work, including a scalable service for staff, applications, and business continuity.

Cloud Pro implemented a tailored cloud solution with hosted infrastructure, server virtualisation, backups, and a warm-standby recovery service across UK data centres. The result was a quicker deployment of the project IT environment, pay-for-what-you-use scalability, and strong disaster recovery, with systems able to be restored within 30 minutes to two hours and full user support provided around the clock.
