Case Study: Provident Financial achieves a resilient data centre move with Node4 Ltd

Provident Financial - Customer Case Study

Provident Financial, a leading UK supplier of personal credit products, needed to move its Bradford head office and use the opportunity to reassess and relocate its onsite data centre. With a large estate of aging servers and enterprise storage arrays holding critical business data, the company required a secure, resilient data centre close enough for easy access and had only one weekend to complete the transition. Node4 Ltd was chosen to support the move with colocation/data centre services.

Node4 Ltd provided space in its Leeds data centre, with infrastructure across two sites for resilience, plus a wide area network linking the data centres and Provident’s head office. Node4 also included remote hands support to reduce the need for on-site visits. The result was a successful, tightly managed migration with improved resilience, proximity, and operational support, and Provident reported exceptional service and confidence in Node4 Ltd’s team.
