Case Study: EMG achieves zero downtime and $100K+ CAPEX savings with Evolve IP virtualized servers and business continuity

Evolve IP provides Virtualized Servers and Business Continuity for EMG

EMG, a Hunt Valley, MD consulting firm with a 250-person remote workforce, faced failing seven-year-old servers and repeated local power outages that disrupted business-critical applications. Leadership weighed a costly local virtualization project against outsourcing to the cloud, while worrying about security, privacy and the potential revenue loss from downtime (estimated at $500K–$1M per week).

EMG chose Evolve IP’s Evolved Data Center and migrated to virtual private vServers over a three-phase, after-hours transition that began in 2011 and took about a year. The move delivered private connectivity, built-in failover, predictable monthly costs, eliminated material downtime, and cut over $100,000 in capital expenditures while maintaining the security and vendor support EMG required.
