Lush announces iland and Veeam cloud backup partnership

Lush has selected iland’s Secure Cloud Backup for Veeam Cloud Connect solution.

With the retailer and its data growing at a rapid pace, Brad Candy, Head of IT at Lush Digital, began to re-evaluate its backup needs.

While Lush had a solution in place, it was becoming increasingly costly to maintain and required the use of different third-party technologies.

With the goal of lowering costs and standardising around Veeam, which Lush was already using on-premises, Candy began looking into alternatives on the market.

“iland just blows everyone away. I don’t know what they do, but there is some sort of magic going on in the background that keeps costs down and the quality up,” he says.

“From my point of view, iland Secure Cloud Backup met all the criteria we had in mind for an enterprise level, scalable solution.”

It came at a fifth of the cost as their previous solution. Read more: https://t.co/TrxwVdK0a3 #LushCommunity #CloudBackup pic.twitter.com/nezJfEQejS

He adds: “The combination of iland and Veeam really checked a lot of the boxes for us. Looking into cloud-based backup initially started as a cost-saving exercise, but the functionality of iland’s solution and its ease of use made it a no-brainer.”

“We want to approach our IT strategy the same way we, as a business, approach everything else.”

“We want all the traditional IT services that allow a modern company to function, but we also must maintain our ability to be flexible and agile enough to create all the new products, smells, and wonderful things we do.”

Lush viewed iland Secure Cloud Backup as the best way to achieve these goals, while also beginning to plan cloud strategy that, according to Candy, is in its embryonic stages.
