Case Study: ACE IT Solutions achieves uninterrupted trading and business continuity during Superstorm Sandy with Datto SIRIS by Datto

Business Continuity Delivered, Despite Superstorm Sandy

ACE IT Solutions, an IT services firm serving finance and other industries, faced a critical challenge during Superstorm Sandy when a hedge fund client in lower Manhattan lost power and urgently needed access to a server holding essential market data before trading reopened. With strict financial-market deadlines and the need to provide access for multiple users for days, ACE had to restore operations quickly to protect the client’s business and their own reputation.

Using Datto’s SIRIS Intelligent Business Continuity, ACE IT virtualized the client’s server in the cloud within two hours and provisioned 15 VPN connections so staff could trade the next morning; the client was fully operational in under four hours and stayed connected until local power was restored. The rapid recovery preserved the client’s trading operations, safeguarded reputations, and avoided potentially large financial losses.
