Claranet case study Lush
The challenge
"The eCommerce store has been essential to Lush's
success,especially during the COVID-19 pandemic," says
Rob Reid, Principal Engineer for Lush. "In hindsight, that's
why we partnered with Claranet in 2017 when we migrated
from our previous cloud provider to Google Cloud
Platform (GCP).
"They handled our migration in just 22 days, and the level oftheir
expertise meant we knew from the start that they
would be a long-term partner for us."
Since the migration in 2017, Lush has been very happy
withthe performance of its store. But the team at Claranet
have still proactively looked for opportunities for continuous
improvement. Updates to apps and services – as well as new
apps and services– are released frequently, offering improved
security, performance, scalability, and cost savings.
"Generally speaking, the more sophisticated you are with
the cloud, the less you pay for it," says Prabhat Handoo, Senior
CloudSpecialist at Claranet. "That means always looking to
rationalise your environment as much as possible, and embrace
cloud native apps and services."

When you're working with a
trusted partner to manage your IT
infrastructure in the cloud, no news
is often good news...
But if you never hear from your
partner, how can you be sure that
they're working as hard for you as
they possibly can?"
