Geminare Wins THINKstrategies' Cloud Computing Business Value Award
Recovery-as-a-Service Provider Safeguards Customer Data While Lowering the Cost of Server Replication and Archiving |
Wellesley, Mass. - October 12, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Geminare has been named the latest winner of THINKstrategies' new Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's cloud computing solutions.
 The CCBV Awards program was launched in this year to recognize Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers delivering tangible business benefits to specific user organizations. These benefits include lower costs, faster deployment times, greater profitability, etc.
The CCBV Award program builds on the success of THINKstrategies' Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program which was initiated in 2009, and has issued over fifty (50) awards since its inception.
Geminare is a provider of Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) solutions to the Cloud Computing market, with products including Cloud Recovery and Cloud Storage Assurance. Geminare delivers its solutions through a network of channel partners worldwide including Qwest Communications, Hosting.com, Bell Canada, CA Technologies Inc., and Ingram Micro.
An example of Geminare's measurable business benefits is Tao Admin Corporation, the largest independent structured products administration firm in Canada, with over $4 billion in assets under its administration. Geminare protected Tao Admin's critical infrastructure when the power went out in downtown Toronto, preserving between $1-2 million in new and existing revenues.
Another example of Geminare's measurable benefits is Lang Michener, a Toronto-based law firm of over 400 employees which had an unplanned outage of its Exchange server during a routine maintenance window. The server traffic immediately failed over to Geminare's Cloud Recovery solution, hosted by Bell Canada, saving the firm an estimated $500,000 in lost revenue during the weeklong outage
It is for these reasons that Geminare has been named a Cloud Computing Business Value Award winner by THINKstrategies.
"Geminare is pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies for the measurable business benefits provided by our Cloud Computing solutions," said Joshua Geist, CEO of Geminare. "THINKstrategies' confirmation of our traction and quantifiable value in the marketplace, given its reputation for quality, helps to secure our position as the de facto standard for RaaS and to accelerate adoption of our partners' cloud recovery solutions."
"Cloud computing gives organizations of all sizes access to powerful and cost-effective 'on-demand' resources which can strengthen their operations," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies. "Geminare's RaaS capabilities clearly demonstrate the measurable benefits which are being delivered via the Cloud."
