COOP Systems in the News
Chris Alvord Quoted in Computerworld, Network World, Telephony, and Verizon Business.
Herndon, VA, April 30, 2009 - Chris Alvord, CEO of COOP Systems, was widely quoted this week in Computerworld, Network World, Telephony and Verizon Business. The subject was using cloud computing to deliver regional failover infrastructure for COOP Systems hosted customers.
For example, in an article entitled “Verizon Expands Cloud Backup Service to Global Market,” by Lucas Mearian, Computerworld reported that “COOP Systems Inc., has been using Verizon's backup service for two years on his SQL servers in order to speed up recovery time in case of lost or corrupted files. Alvord, who had been backing up via tape, said he backs up about 20GB a month through Verizon. ‘Rather than having local tape, there's a copy made to Verizon's Denver data center daily. It's encrypted and compressed. We don't have to think about it. We just have agents on our servers, and it does everything for us,’ Alvord said. Alvord said going live with the service was painless; since implementing it, he has had to recover data several times due to user error. ‘It was just so simple to do this,’ he said. ‘This has worked flawlessly over the past two years.’”
“We are very pleased to be recognized as an early adopter in the use of cloud computing for regional failover support” said Chris Alvord, CEO of COOP Systems. “Our advanced architecture, with all myCOOP customer functions on one instance of SQL, is particularly important to take advantage of this new technology. We can now offer 99.99% uptime to clients, easily the best performance in our market.”
