Case Study: Signal Hill (investment banking firm) achieves disaster avoidance and uninterrupted operations with Evolve IP's virtual desktop private cloud

Disaster Avoidance the Real Disaster is Focusing on Recovery

Signal Hill, the largest independent advisory boutique serving growth companies, operates from Baltimore with offices across the U.S. and internationally. Facing aging hardware, a single production data center plus a distant recovery site, and repeated severe Northeast storms that threatened office outages, the firm needed a way to avoid interruptions to time-sensitive M&A work and protect highly confidential data.

Signal Hill migrated employee desktops and core applications to Evolve IP’s private cloud virtual desktop platform, centralizing data and hosting CRM, email and document systems. The move provided device-agnostic access, stronger security (no data stored on endpoints), redundant geographically dispersed infrastructure, and lower capital and IT overhead—allowing the firm to continue business-as-usual through events like Hurricane Sandy with uninterrupted access and reduced operational risk.
