Aljex Software’s Deployment in Global Data Center Services Provider CyrusOne

Data center services provider CyrusOne LLC announces the availability of a complimentary case study featuring its data centers and channel partner solution for Aljex Software, Inc., a provider of cloud-based transportation management software (TMS).

Aljex Software products help its clients manage large amounts of logistics data using an integrated software platform.

“The Aljex Software case study details the unique solution CyrusOne, together with our channel partner Zimmerman Communications, Inc. (Zimcom) provided to meet Aljex’s production needs focused on physical security, multiple data centers, and room for future growth,” said Scott Brueggeman, CMO, CyrusOne. “In addition to providing top-tier colocation services, CyrusOne’s ability to work with our channel partner to develop a solution that spans several data centers and takes advantage of the CyrusOne National IX [Internet Exchange] is a key differentiator.“

Aljex is able to take advantage of an N-2 network infrastructure configuration that Zimcom designed and implemented. This configuration and the replication technology used mean any one of the three CyrusOne data center locations can support the entire workload of Aljex’s systems in the event of a disaster situation.

“We just launched a service that customers can elect to add that provides snap backups every five minutes. With our utilization of VMware servers and EMC storage technology, we can restore data or an entire server quickly in any of our three data centers. This is just one example of what our partnership with Zimcom and CyrusOne allows us to do,” said Joe Hirschman, president, Aljex Software.

Jason Huebner, VP and GM, Zimcom, said: “Our clients rely on us to protect their data and make sure their hosted servers and applications are online and available 24/7. That’s why it’s important for us to work with a data center provider that can not only meet our needs, but those of our customers as well.“
