The Challenge

As a modern law firm heavily dependent on technology, Muckle requires constant online availability and resilience. Recognising the need to upgrade their IT infrastructure, Muckle sought a robust solution to support their remote workforce and ensure secure access to critical data.

It is essential to Muckle that their business operations are always online; minimising downtime and improving the stability of their network were key project requirements. The company needed to expand their network without incurring high costs or managing multiple vendor relationships.

Aspire’s Solution

Muckle had a keen interest in Aspire’s innovative UDC (Ultrafast Dedicated Connectivity) Network which provides dedicated bandwidth levels of up to 100Gbps (100 gigabits per second), making it one of the fastest connectivity speeds available in the UK.

Aspire was able to quickly deploy and expand Muckle’s network using colocation. Aspire operates 6 enterprise class data centres across the UK, providing colocation services which offer cost-effective, flexible, and secure environments for businesses to host critical systems, hardware, and networking equipment.

As a foundation for Muckle’s services, Aspire’s colocation facility provided maximum uptime and a high level of security for Muckle’s critical data and applications.

Highly available UDC was installed providing an ultralow latency (<1ms), next-generation leased line solution which enables Muckle to scale their connectivity with their own private internet line. Aspire also installed a disaster recovery solution to ensure full business continuity.

Aspire worked closely with Muckle to minimise disruption, ensuring that the installation did not interfere with their day-to-day operations.
