Poole: Clarins chooses Blue Chip's backup and disaster recovery solution

Opting to replace its on-premise backup solution due to limitations, leading international beauty brand Clarins chose SecureVault, the award-winning cloud-based service from Poole-headquartered IT specialist Blue Chip.

SecureVault, powered by Seagate is a fully-scalable cloud backup solution that can accommodate increased volumes of data as organisations expand. Data is secured across Blue Chip’s two state-of-the-art-datacentre locations giving Clarins robust protection and peace of mind that their data is accessible 24x7 should disaster strike. It is structured on a pay-per-usage basis, making it extremely cost effective in comparison to outdated on-premise solutions, which require hardware investment and maintenance.

Anthony Green, sales and marketing director at Blue Chip, explained: “Clarins was seeking to partner with an IT company with a proven track record in cloud-based backup and DR – an area in which we have excelled.

“Following our advice and recommendation, Clarins chose SecureVault for its low maintenance, reliability and scalability, as well as its unique disaster recovery capability.”

Blue Chip has provided Clarins with a complete IT package covering design, implementation, thorough testing – including test restores of large volumes of data across the WAN – and solution review and sign-off.  It also provided ongoing technical support via its 24/7 service desk.

Steve Exeter, IT manager at Clarins, said: “With SecureVault we now have a hosted solution with robust business continuity round-the-clock which is vital to the success of an international business. Blue Chip offers the complete IT package and it’s always a pleasure dealing with them.”
