“From the early procurement stages, ViaWest’s team was willing to lend their expertise to support our infrastructure needs,” states Cynthia Nustad, Senior Vice President and CIO for HMS. “HMS required a cost effective partner that could support our growth and was in close proximity to where we do business. At times in a vendor-client relationship rates can be the deciding factor, though with ViaWest, their level of support coupled with their competitive rates made them an excellent fit that blended well within our corporate culture.”
“ViaWest understood that Disaster Recovery and multiple facilities across their footprint were important elements for HMS,” continues John Greenwood Regional Vice President of Sales and General Manager for ViaWest. “Together with HMS, we developed a Disaster Recovery solution that would utilize geographic diversity to further maximize reliability. HMS’ primary data center site in Texas and secondary site in Las Vegas operate on different power grids further adding to the level of security that was critical for HMS. At ViaWest we strive to be proactive in planning with customers through supporting existing requirements and preparing for future data center needs.”
