Resilient, Geo-Diverse Infrastructure for Global Recruitment Specialist
The Challenge
Zero Tolerance for Downtime: Operating across nuclear, aerospace, and energy meant FRG had to apply the same uncompromising standards to their own infrastructure as the regulated industries they serve.
Round-the-Clock Global Operations: With offices spanning the UK, Europe, Asia, and Africa running on a 24-hour business cycle, even brief outages would disrupt live recruitment campaigns and client SLAs across multiple time zones.
Sensitive Candidate and Client Data: Handling CVs, contractual information, and confidential client requirements demanded enterprise-grade security built into the network layer — not bolted on after the fact.
Single Points of Failure: A traditional single-site infrastructure setup couldn't deliver the geographic redundancy a genuinely international recruitment operation requires.
"We operate across some of the most demanding and regulated sectors in the world — Nuclear, Aerospace, Energy — and our clients expect the same standards from us that they apply to themselves. Downtime simply isn't an option.
With international offices and operations running around the clock, we needed infrastructure we could genuinely rely on. DCP designed and implemented a resilient managed network and firewall architecture that protects our candidate and client data without us ever having to think about it.
The automatic failover across geo-diverse providers has delivered exactly what they promised — we've had zero outages since deployment. When your business runs 24 hours a day across multiple geographies, that kind of reliability isn't a nice-to-have. It's everything."
