“Data and storage networking initiatives are more challenging and crucial then ever before and is still one of the most important pillars of the IT infrastructure,” said Ellen Daly, senior vice president, events, IDG Enterprise.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as a SNW Best Practices Awards finalist,” said Paxton Powers, IT Infrastructure Manager at Interbank FX. “This deployment was a prime example of leveraging technology to achieve our business objectives. In this case, our main objective was to be able to recover our data center and remain operational during downtime events. InMage gave us that ability. In the trading business, time literally is money and every minute of downtime counts. We have peace of mind now that we’ve minimized the risk of impacting customers or revenue due to server downtime, whether it’s a simple failure or a natural disaster.”
