Avectra Announces New Data Center

Move enhances Web-based association management software performance and takes customer service to the next level

Our investment in this new, state-of-the-art hosting operation allows us to continue offering the industry’s best uptime and network performance as we add new clients on our association management software platforms

McLean, VA (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 22, 2010 -- True to Avectra’s commitment to provide world-class cloud computing and service, the industry’s innovator for association management software announced today a successful move of the company’s primary hosting services to a new data center in December 2009.

“We focus on providing the best hosting and technology available,” said John Norton, director of Avectra’s network operations. “Our investment in this new, state-of-the-art hosting operation allows us to continue offering the industry’s best uptime and network performance as we add new clients on our association management software platforms.”

The new facility is operated by leading data center provider Equinix and is located in Ashburn, Va., on one of the largest internet exchange points in the world. In addition to offering even more reliable internet connectivity, the center provides upgraded equipment and improved power redundancy, physical security and environmental controls for the data of the nearly 1,000 member-based organizations using Avectra’s netFORUM association management software.

“The move to this data center more than doubles our network’s capacity and at the same time cuts our energy usage and physical footprint by more than 40%,” said Mark Zigadlo, network service manager at Avectra. “This enables us to extend even higher service levels to our customers while maintaining a green hosting option.”

With more than 12 years of hosting experience, Avectra is the leading provider of hosted membership management solutions and is committed to ensuring complete system redundancy with its Avectra Super Network. The shift of services to the new facility further extends Avectra’s hosting beyond the typical application platform level to provide the most comprehensive and reliable solution available with triple redundant disaster recovery and back-up.
