The Challenge
As Media Links scaled its service offering to meet growing client demands, the company faced increasing challenges around maintaining service uptime, ensuring data protection, and delivering virtual desktop experiences that matched the performance of on-premises systems. “We needed more than just a hosting provider – we needed a partner who could actively engage in solving the infrastructure challenges unique to our clients,” explains Andrew McEvoy, Director at Media Links.

Their existing hosting solution lacked the flexibility and scalability needed for their bespoke environments, particularly when it came to high-availability setups and disaster recovery. Furthermore, Media Links needed a partner that could offer technical transparency and hands-on support for their developers and end customers alike.
The Solution
UK Servers stepped in to design and deploy a resilient, fully managed virtual hosting environment tailored to Media Links’ requirements. This included high-performance virtual desktop hosting with built-in scalability and redundant infrastructure, combined with managed web and database virtual machines. Critical to this solution was the integration of Veeam Backup & Replication, which provided robust and reliable backup scheduling, snapshot recovery, and off-site replication for disaster resilience.
UK Servers also offered a proactive support model. By maintaining direct communication with Media Links’ technical leadership, our engineering team ensured every deployment aligned with their evolving software stack.
“We took the time to understand how Media Links’ platforms function in live environments, allowing us to fine-tune performance and data integrity under load,” says Ben Yarwood, Technical Lead at UK Servers. “Our goal was not just uptime — it was seamless, real-time responsiveness for their virtual desktop users.”
Network segmentation and bandwidth prioritisation were configured to allow Media Links to offer performance guarantees to their clients without overspending on excess capacity. Monitoring tools were made available to Media Links’ internal team to give visibility and peace of mind.
“The team at UK Servers have been exceptional — responsive, technically sound, and deeply invested in our success,” shares Mark Hodgetts, Director at Media Links. “We’ve not only improved service availability but also strengthened client confidence thanks to the reliability of the hosting environment.”

“What really impressed us was the agility and technical know-how of the support team,” adds McEvoy. “Whether it’s deploying new virtual machines, tweaking firewall rules, or restoring a snapshot in minutes — the turnaround is phenomenal.”
