Case Study: National CineMedia achieves 100% uptime, faster hot-site recovery, and green energy savings with Green House Data

National CineMedia colocates with Green House Data for increased uptime, improved technical resources, and green energy savings

National CineMedia (NCM) is the operator of the largest digital theater network in the U.S., reaching more than 700 million moviegoers across 19,000 screens. NCM’s daily, tailored pre-show programming and multi-channel advertising required a reliable, high-availability disaster recovery site and easier on-site access than their out-of-state data center. High shipping and travel costs, slow maintenance, and the need to keep sales and content systems running in tandem drove NCM to look for a closer, more dependable colocation partner.

Green House Data provided a fast, tailored hot site in Cheyenne, Wyoming (about 90 minutes from Denver), backed by a 100% uptime SLA, bursting bandwidth, hands-on support, managed services, and a self-service portal. The result was improved uptime and quicker recovery, reduced operational travel and shipping costs, and access to local technical resources—plus energy-efficiency gains from Green House Data’s cooling and wind-power strategy (facilities about 40% more efficient), with cost savings passed through to NCM.
