It would not be possible without the support of ITHQ

"On one of our customer Wi-Fi systems, for example, we have 1600 concurrent connections every weekend so performance is obviously vital. Our systems show that not only has the amount of monitored endpoints doubled, but the number of alerts has actually reduced to one-sixth of what they were."

Philip Mitchell
IT Director, The Hippodrome Casino, London
I have the confidence in a full disaster recovery test. That wasn't the case before ITHQ.

"ITHQ has all the expertise and a rapid onboarding process that ensured we were fully set up in a short time."
