Case Study: Leigh Day achieves reliable, cost-controlled backups and rapid disaster recovery with Quorum's onQ solution

Leigh Day - Customer Case Study

Leigh Day is a leading UK claimant law firm handling thousands of cases from offices in London and Manchester. With two decades of growing case data — including large, high‑resolution files — the firm faced escalating pay‑by‑capacity backup costs, a fully virtualised VMware environment and strict regulatory requirements (SRA, DPA), and needed a scalable, cost‑effective way to protect and recover its systems.

Working with reseller Covenco, Leigh Day trialled and then deployed Quorum’s onQ appliances and an Archive Vault (onsite and mirrored to Covenco’s data centre). The solution takes 30‑minute snapshots, uses incremental‑forever and deduplication to minimise bandwidth and storage, and maintains ready‑to‑run Recovery Nodes. The result: fast, reliable restores and disaster recovery in minutes, predictable costs, simplified IT operations and continued regulatory compliance — improvements praised by the firm’s IT director.
