Reply! Inc. Selects SunGard Availability Services to Help Grow IT Infrastructure as Business Expands
WAYNE, Pa., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Reply! Inc., a leading marketplace for acquisition of locally-targeted consumer traffic, including MerchantCircle.com, Contractors.com, adHUBS.com, Bloglines.com and iMotors.com, has chosen SunGard Availability Services to host its newly deployed private cloud infrastructure. SunGard will provide a managed virtual environment for Reply!'s private cloud which will help enable Reply!'s growth and accelerate time-to-market for new product offerings.
Previously, Reply! utilized a traditional physical standalone IT environment, but needed a new technology solution that would easily scale to accommodate Reply!'s rapid growth, help improve IT infrastructure management and reduce operational costs.
"Reply! wanted to move to a hosted cloud solution that would meet the enterprise production demands of our company," said Reply! chief technology officer, Reza Hajebi. "After looking at our options, we chose SunGard to host and manage our virtual cloud for its staff expertise and its service level agreements - which help guarantee us the high performance and high availability we require."
"SunGard's solution will help Reply! ensure that its websites are highly available and able to scale to handle traffic volume spikes while enabling high performance," said Carl Meadows, director, product management, managed services at SunGard Availability Services.
