Based in Dublin, Life Science Recruitment is a specialist scientific and healthcare recruitment consultancy.  The company has a strong focus on the integration of web technologies into mainstream recruitment practices.  It owns and manages over 20 specialist recruitment portals devoted to various multi-discipline sectors in the health and science industries.  Each serve specific professional areas- www.lifescience.ie for jobseekers in the life science sector, www.pharmaceutical.ie for jobseekers in the pharmaceutical sector, www.medicaldevice.ie for jobseekers in the medical device sector and so on.

The company had used traditional virtual shared hosting for its large portfolio of sites but suffered slow load times and frequent downtime.

“For a business to gain competitive advantage from its online offerings, speed is essential and downtime just not an option,”

said Eamonn O’Raghallaigh from Life Science Recruitment.

After analysing the myriad of hosting offerings on the market Life Science selected Dediserve, a provider of virtual dedicated solutions.  Dediserve offers solutions that give the power of dedicated servers for the price and benefits of virtual hosting.  These include instant scalability, reliable uptime and a high level of flexibility and control of the virtual machine.

“There were a number of key selling points that caused us to choose Dediserve.  As well as excellent service and support the company offered a very cost effective solution,”

added O’Raghallaigh.

With a portfolio of 20 sites to manage and service daily Life Science needed a high level of control  of the virtual server.

“Dediserve’s virtual machines function very much like a physical server with a high level of control and access right down to the kernel level.  Another big advantage we have over a physical server is their own control panel and installation templates.  A dedicated server takes hours to be made ready but using Dediserve’s system we can configure the server to our needs in under ten minutes,”

said O’Raghallaigh.

Life Science also needed a hosting solution that could allow for future expansion of its portfolio of sites. With Dediserve this was easily facilitated as virtual machines can be scaled up or down instantly.

O’Raghallaigh concludes:

“Migrating to virtual servers has been a great move and I can’t fault the service from Dediserve.  We now enjoy all the benefits this service has to offer – uninterrupted uptime, significant cost savings and enhanced flexibility.”
