Evolve IP's Virtualization Services Provide Application, Data, and Unified Communications Availability During Hurricane Sandy
Nov. 1, 2012 01:55 PM
Evolve
IP, The Cloud Services Company™, today announced that The John M.
Glover Agency, a national insurance agency, and Grudi Associates, an
information technology company, relied on its redundant cloud platform
to run their businesses remotely during Hurricane Sandy. Employing
Evolve IP’s award-winning virtual
server and virtual
desktop cloud computing services, both organizations were able to
access all of their key systems and data to proactively service
customers while the storm raged on.
As the superstorm bore down on the mid-Atlantic coast, associates at
both firms were able to take advantage of Evolve IP’s virtualization
services to stay safe and productive from home. Running Evolve IP’s Evolved
Office for virtual desktops, and accessing the Evolved
Data Center for virtual servers, employees had full access to
applications like Office, QuickBooks, ACT, and proprietary databases,
helping them stay in constant communication with customers and prospects.
“Evolve IP’s services were 100 percent glitch-free,” said John Forlivio,
President and CEO of The John M. Glover Agency. “We have 150 agents
using Evolve IP’s virtual desktop (VDI) solution, and they didn’t skip a
beat. We also tapped into Evolve IP’s unified communications systems and
were accessing voicemail from email to take claims on Tuesday morning.
All-in-all Evolve IP made our jobs much easier and made for a more
pleasant experience during a tough time.”
“While Sandy was knocking businesses out left and right we didn’t miss a
beat, thanks to Evolve IP’s cloud services,” said Walt Grudi, President
of Grudi Associates. “As the storm approached, we sent our employees
home to be safe, knowing everyone had access to all the information they
needed via our virtualized applications. Once folks got home, they
simply logged in via laptops, iPads, and Android tablets. Evolve IP is
the leading cloud services provider for a reason: Its technology is
superior and the support team is second to none.”
“There is widespread devastation across our region, and our thoughts are
with all of those affected. Our customer, The John M. Glover Agency,
services this area directly and its offices, agents, and clients were
hit incredibly hard during the storm,” said Tim Allen, Chief Sales
Officer of Evolve IP. “Ensuring the agency had remote access to its data
and applications in order to handle claims were of paramount importance.
Evolve IP’s proprietary cloud platform delivered, and we are pleased to
be able to help this difficult situation in a small way.”
“We are pleased that our cloud services enabled Grudi Associates to keep
its business running as usual,” said Joe Corvaia, Senior Vice President
of Evolve IP. “Grudi is not only a customer, it is a great IT partner
that has established long-term relationships with businesses,
not-for-profits, and government agencies. We’re very sorry for the
devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy and the lives it has impacted. As
businesses rebuild, they will place renewed importance on business
continuity, and it’s important that they understand that not all
clouds—and not all teams—are created equally. Evolve IP’s cloud services
platform is world-class, and I’m extremely proud of our technology and
our team.”
