Case Study: Educational Publisher protects email and business functions from natural disasters with 2nd Watch

Educational Publisher - Customer Case Study

Educational Publisher brought book fairs online after Hurricane Sandy knocked out power to its datacenter and left email unavailable. The company needed a solution independent of a single datacenter so it could avoid future failures and keep business functions running.

2nd Watch configured a hybrid environment with single sign on access and migrated the publisher’s 180-public-folder database, with over 100,000 objects and 75GB of data, to SharePoint Online. 2nd Watch also set up a Lync Hybrid solution, helping the publisher move people between on-premises Lync and Lync Online, and the company said its email system now remains unaffected by local natural disasters and receives higher SLAs.
