BoardDocs
Challenge
Atlanta-based BoardDocs was experiencing a 50 percent annual growth rate and needed to expand its infrastructure to support operations. The company's requirements included collocation space and services that would deliver high-availability, scalability and timely service support.
Solution
Decision makers selected the Qwest® Dedicated Hosting Collocation service to house infrastructure in Denver; the Qwest® Managed Hosting service to manage servers and software and the Qwest® CyberCenter® Storage and Backup service to protect customer and enterprise data.
Benefits and Results
- The scalability of the Qwest solutions easily accommodates the company's 50 percent annual growth rate.
- The Qwest CyberCenter's (collocation facility) redundant systems provide high availability to BoardDocs software as a service (SaaS) applications.
- Protects BoardDocs against outages that trigger SLA payments to customers.
- Preserves BoardDocs' reputation among clients and helps to keep customer churn low.
- Qwest's nationwide footprint allows managers to place future servers close to customers to ensure high performance of the BoardDocs applications.
- Qwest technicians respond to BoardDocs server issues within minutes.
- The Qwest technicians' expertise is a valued supplement to BoardDocs' IT staff.
Qwest's response to our RFP was the clear winner because
they could provide all the services we needed without having
to partner with anyone. We liked that the Qwest CyberCenter
incorporates redundant systems and security features to deliver
high availability. For a software as a service company like ours,
that's just mission critical.
