Case Study: Financial Media Company achieves rapid cloud migration and resilient disaster recovery with Bluelock

Financial Media Company Leverages Managed Cloud Hosting and Recovery to Compete with Big Business

A 500-person financial media company serving more than 2.5 million subscribers was forced to abandon its colocation datacenter in 2011 with only six weeks to move. The small IT team (four people) was already bandwidth‑strapped by travel and infrastructure management and needed a fast, scalable hosting and recovery solution that preserved production uptime and simplified day‑to‑day operations.

Bluelock delivered managed cloud hosting, VM backup and Disaster Recovery‑as‑a‑Service, meeting the tight timeline and eliminating the need for a second physical DR site. The move enabled rapid scaling, pay‑as‑you‑go management, near‑real‑time RPOs and recovery in hours (proven during Hurricane Sandy), freeing IT to focus on strategic initiatives and greatly improving business resilience.
