Case Study: American Fire Systems, Inc. achieves resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure and Microsoft 365 backup with 11:11 Systems

American Fire Systems Elevates IT Infrastructure with iland, now 11:11 Systems, Cloud and Backup for Microsoft 365

American Fire Systems (AFS) is a Houston-based fire protection contractor that had been hosting its data on a single on‑premises data center. As the company expanded across Texas, aging equipment and a growing data load created performance bottlenecks and a single point of failure—exacerbated by frequent grid outages, severe weather risk, and rising cybersecurity threats like ransomware.

AFS migrated its infrastructure and Microsoft 365 backups to iland (now 11:11 Systems) Secure Cloud IaaS and Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365, adopting a cloud architecture with built‑in redundancy, unified management, and predictable pricing. The move delivered scalable capacity, continuous availability, faster ransomware recovery, simplified administration via a single console, and improved business continuity with 24/7 support.
