Striving for Fast and Reliable Operations

The main objective was to establish our ongoing support for Ten’s estate, making their operations faster and more reliable. In order to accept their servers into support, we first needed to embark on a seamless migration to our configured servers.

Great Collaboration Makes for a Smooth Migration

This migration had to be quick, smooth and with as little disruption as possible to the client’s existing operations. We integrated our ticketing systems to minimise disturbance and maximise collaborative communications.

As part of the onboarding process to our Managed SQL Server service, we performed a migration of the core database to xTEN built servers.

The success of the core database migration ensured that the servers were fit for purpose and configured to peak standard, employing best practices. The in-house team at Ten were integral throughout the operation, ensuring a genuinely problem-free process.

Our estate is in the best possible hands. The robust estate implemented by xTEN means we have no worries when it comes to the consistency or reliability of our systems. We can continue to innovate as a team safe in the knowledge that our foundations are rock solid.

Faster, Reliable Solutions Means an Exciting Future for Ten

The migration went off without a hitch and there was an immediate 50% reduction in response times. Ten were able to handle more requests faster using their current infrastructure, better servicing their client’s needs.

By applying our knowledge built from decades of SQL Server experience, Ten’s estate is now more reliable, consistent and future-proofed.
