International Integrated Solutions, Ltd. Announces Data Center Migration Services

PLAINVIEW, N.Y.-(Business Wire)-October 1, 2008 - International Integrated Solutions, Ltd. (IIS), a leading provider of mission critical, highly available infrastructure solutions, today announced its Data Center Migration Services. IIS incorporated this new service to further address the IT Infrastructure needs of its fast growing, industry leading clients. Prior to this announcement, IIS has successfully delivered its Data Center Migration Service at three large global clients. One of these clients, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) had a need to move the equipment associated with the acquisition of the Kaman Music Corp (a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMIC) from the Kaman Data Center to the a newly selected co-location site in Massachusetts. FMIC selected IIS to complete the move planning and relocation services after an extensive evaluation of IIS’s capabilities.

"This critical move included our entire distributed environment. The affected systems and data supported all departments including sales, manufacturing, financial, inventory." said Michael Spandau, Fender’s SVP of Information Technology. “This was not just an email system relocation but the crown jewels of our IT Infrastructure. Thus, uptime was of utmost importance. During the planning session we always felt we were in good hands and during the execution I was extremely impressed with the quality of people who were working. It was clear that IIS was taking responsibility for responding to all of our concerns and the prime in working with the other partners that were involved.”

IIS’s expertise in mission critical IT infrastructure, combined with processes and project management, minimize the risk of data center moves for our clients. Without such experience, potential delays can quickly adversely affect a corporation’s bottom line and negatively affect internal and external customer satisfaction. Additionally, there is a risk of injury to those IT workers who are familiar with the technology, but may not have the proper equipment, such as a server lifter, in order to execute these moves without harming themselves or workers around them.

IIS’s Data Center Migration Services minimize the risks for our clients while providing them with a faster, cleaner, move of their mission critical IT infrastructure. IIS’s extensive experience doing Data Center infrastructure integrations for ERP, CRM and other mission critical applications provided a solid background to handle the FMIC design and integration services. IIS’s previous Data Center Migration experience included move planning and relocation for clients with over 1200 devices as well as Data Center consolidation projects where equipment from several separate locations was moved to a single Data Center. This combined experience provided a solid background to handle the FMIC relocation requirements.
