As the heart of the 2009 hurricane season approaches, Rogers & Brown IT Director Sherry Cruzan is feeling much more comfortable than in years past. Last year, Cruzan headed a project to get the logistics and brokerage firm’s critical computer system out of the potential eye of the storm and into an enterprise-class data center facility.

“We spent a great deal of time weighing our options, determining what our needs were and what they would be if our Corporate location should be threatened with disaster,” said Cruzan regarding the choice to relocate Rogers & Brown core computer systems to Immedion’s Greenville, South Carolina data center. “After touring the facility, we felt Immedion would be a good fit, and since our migration the service provided has gone above and beyond my expectations.”

Rogers & Brown selected Immedion’s fully redundant data center to minimize the risk of critical system downtime due to commercial power outages, flooding, and other severe hurricane threats.

Immedion continues to provide businesses along the coast a more secure environment for both IT infrastructure and business continuity. “The ability of Immedion to handle the temporary relocation of our offices to their disaster recovery suite is an impressive additional convenience. When Hurricane Hanna approached the South Carolina coast last year, it was a great relief to know that Immedion was ready to meet our every need.” In the face of possible disasters such as blackouts, brownouts, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, companies rely on Immedion to keep business up and running.

Backed by industry-leading service level agreements (SLA), Immedion also works with clients in providing the highest assurances that business critical data is backed up and available for restoration at all times. If a company experiences a crisis, Immedion can provide 24x7x365 data center services to get business back on line as quickly as possible.

Immedion CEO Frank Mobley commented, “Immedion is dedicated to supporting and protecting IT infrastructure. Our sole purpose is to keep our clients’ computing infrastructure, applications, and data available all the time. We are proud to deliver peace of mind to our clients along the coast, especially during the unnerving hurricane seasons.”
