Hybrid IT solution—from crisis to recovery, and beyond

The solution

Bulletproof IT at break-neck speed

Quantix began planning its failback to its production environment. Because the power problems in the Quantix data center persisted, Flexential proposed an alternative: recreate Quantix production environment at the Flexential colocation facility in Louisville, near Quantix corporate headquarters. Once again, Quantix was impressed with the speed, responsiveness and dedication of the Flexential team.

“One weekend, our Flexential team drove to the company’s Nashville - Franklin data center, picked up the server hardware we needed to recreate our environment, drove it to Louisville and had it set up by Monday morning,” said Blanchard. “This is the type of thing they did throughout the process.”

The results

A hybrid IT partner for foul or fair weather

Once the production environment was in place, Quantix and Flexential set up disaster recovery infrastructure in Atlanta, again using Flexential DRaaS. Just six months after declaring disaster, Quantix had recovered to the cloud, reestablished its production IT in a colocation facility and implemented a permanent remote disaster recovery as a service infrastructure. 

According to the team at Quantix, a company needn’t be in the depths of a crisis to benefit from a partner like Flexential. Blachard reiterated that for companies that want to go to the cloud for production or disaster recovery, and believe they don’t have the resources to do it, or know the next steps to take, Flexential is the solution. Having a partner with the expertise, dedication and ability to execute of Flexential is invaluable.
