Background
Brighton-based Broadlight is a DevOps and cloud consultancy, operating at the cutting edge of digital transformation. As trusted partners to leading public cloud providers, such as Amazon and Microsoft, Broadlight helps businesses modernise their operations through cloud computing and DevOps expertise.
The challenge
As a startup, and one of the UK’s few specialist DevOps consultancies, Broadlight has experienced rapid growth, expanding its teams across the UK and Europe. Their website plays a crucial role in reinforcing their brand and showcasing their commitment to excellence.
As Broadlight has scaled, their previous hosting infrastructure struggled to keep up. They faced limitations which threatened both website performance and user experience, at a time when flawless digital delivery was essential to maintaining client trust and expanding their reputation.
The solution
Broadlight are strong believers in the value of networking, and as well as running several popular Meetup Groups in Brighton and London, regularly attend events to broaden their contact lists. While at a Wired Sussex event, they connected with Hyve and began to explore the scope for working together.
“Meeting at the Wired Sussex event was just the first example of how ourselves and Hyve share a very similar business culture,” explained Carter. “It soon became clear that the businesses could complement each other in a number of ways, but it was Hyve’s technical expertise and commitment to outstanding levels of service that were central to moving to them as our hosting provider.”
By migrating to our managed private cloud, Broadlight secured the scalability and high-performance infrastructure essential for their growing digital footprint. Today, their website runs seamlessly on our platform, ensuring their online presence consistently reflects Broadlight’s promise of quality and reliability.
“We have been incredibly impressed with the Hyve team, have met many of them and have seen for ourselves how their approach to service really makes a big difference to your happiness as a customer,” said Carter.
Hear from Broadlight
“We approach our work with excellence at the heart of everything we do, and our public face online – in the form of our website – has to reflect this ethos.
Website hosting infrastructure doesn’t scale on its own and we needed to guarantee the performance of our site as we added more content – the last thing we wanted was service issues when customers expect us to excel at digital delivery. We talked to our provider about our plans and requirements, but it became clear that they weren’t in a position to match our needs and deliver the service levels we were looking for. The search for a new managed hosting provider began at that point.
Hyve has fantastic experience and the high-performance infrastructure our customers are increasingly looking for. Whether it’s working as a private cloud provider, or as part of a hybrid solution that also relies on one of the public cloud giants, Hyve understands the customer mindset and how technology can help their businesses to get better. Broadlight and Hyve have a very clear cultural alignment, and that’s very important to us because it allows us to recommend Hyve’s service portfolio to our customers with full confidence.”
