“I met Michael in September of 2017 when his company, XO Group, my company, Dell-Technologies, and Presidio partnered to transform XO Group’s current infrastructure. It was Michael’s foresight to looking into a hyper-converged solution that brought the three groups together. Running a small but agile IT team and managing a Data Center plus four additional remote offices, Michael had the vision to see that his current environment needed to modernize. Doing his due diligence, he brought in multiple vendors and solution-types to properly vet the best solution for XO Group and his team. Over the next three months, there were countless strategy sessions to properly customize and tweak the solution to meet both financial and technical needs. Michael’s insight and expertise helped transform XO Group’s aging environment with cutting edge hyper-converged technology. I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed partnering with Michael. He is a true leader who kept his teams’ business and technical needs in the forefront when making decisions. I plan on using Michael as a technical resource and reference for future opportunities. Thanks again Michael and look forward to working with you again.”

How do you prepare for common IT disasters?
Effective IT planning involves a crucial step: testing your backups through restoration. Neglecting this essential practice can leave your entire system vulnerable to unforeseen disasters. When you forgo the process of restoring from your backups for testing purposes, you essentially leave a critical gap in your disaster recovery strategy. Testing backups not only ensures the viability of your backup data but also validates the recovery process itself. It provides you with confidence in your ability to recover swiftly and efficiently. Wthout restoration testing, your IT planning remains incomplete, and your business remains exposed to avoidable risks.
