Real Results

How UK businesses have solved performance and capacity challenges.

Professional Services Firm, London

A 200-person consultancy was experiencing daily slowdowns during peak hours. Their internal IT team had no visibility of what was causing the degradation and users were losing productivity.

Performance analysis identified a misconfigured SQL service consuming excess memory. Tuning completed in 4 hours. Performance issues resolved permanently. Monthly reports now keep the team informed.

E-Commerce Business, South East

An online retailer was running out of storage capacity every 6 months and making emergency purchases. They had no visibility of growth trends or upcoming thresholds.

Capacity monitoring deployed. Growth trend analysis identified storage would reach 85 percent in 4 months. Planned expansion completed on schedule. No emergency purchases in 18 months.

Manufacturing Company, Midlands

A manufacturer needed to justify a server refresh to their board but had no performance data to support the business case. The board rejected the previous request without evidence.

Six months of performance data collected and presented. Business case built on actual utilisation trends. Board approved the refresh. New infrastructure deployed on budget.
