Ed Lowe Foundation Selects Michigan Data Centers For High Availability Colocation
Online Tech Assists Entrepreneur Nonprofit with High Availability Hosting.
- Ann Arbor, MI (1888PressRelease) October 07, 2011 - Edward Lowe Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports entrepreneurship through research, recognition and educational programs, has selected Online Tech for high availability colocation services. Online Tech's data center offers Edward Lowe Foundation websites, www.edwardlowe.org; www.youreconomy.org; www.nationalcentereg.org and www.companiestowatch.org, more security, reliability and high availability.
Located in rural southwest Michigan proved to be a challenge for Edward Lowe Foundation with inconsistent bandwidth and power outages. As the company's websites grew in popularity and more tools were added to the sites, they had difficulty keeping up with demand. Also, the Foundation began selling services and partnering with outside companies and now had the responsibility to deliver quality services by improving their sites' reliability and high availability.
"As we begin selling services and delivering data to partners like NASDAQ, it was obvious that we had to have a solid solution," says Chris Ryback, Manager of Technical and Digital Media. Then the company experienced a fire in their building. The data center was spared, but it was the deciding factor that it was time to partner with a managed data center for improved security, reliability and availability.
Partnering with Online Tech gives Edward Lowe Foundation a high availability IT framework that ensures that critical data and applications are always secure and always available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Online Tech's data centers, uniquely located 53 miles apart, are interconnected with dedicated Gigabit fiber for Internet traffic failover and routing of backup and disaster recovery data between data centers.
"We could not replicate the IT infrastructure we get with Online Tech's data centers. By partnering with Online Tech we don't have to worry about our infrastructure and can focus on what is important to us - being a thought leader in business," says Ryback.
