“In November 2006, our building experienced an electrical fire. Our main data center resides on the 12^th floor and is connected to a UPS with a 2 hour battery backup. Building management informed us that we would be without power for up to four days. Our company lives by e-mail so we immediately contacted Negma for help at approximately 7:30AM and their engineers immediately began provisioning a cabinet for us. The cabinet and all connectivity were ready and waiting for us when we arrived at the data center and we were back up and running before noon. Negma’s ability to react to our immediate need saved our company’s reputation and kept our business running.”
