The foresight to embrace new technology, paired with the dedication to
thoroughly meet customers' changing needs, has been the formula for success at
Sandhills Publishing for more than two decades. This deep commitment to
innovation and progress was demonstrated in June 2000, as the company opened
its newest facility in Scottsdale, Ariz.
 Sandhills
Publishing is a technology-oriented company. Internal operations use a complex
network of databases to house the array of information needed to successfully
serve thousands of customers daily. Recently the Internet has created the
opportunity to deliver quality information in a more timely manner than was
ever before possible. Without access to this technology and the services
Sandhills provides, advertisers, readers, and site visitors would be unable to
complete their daily business activities.
Tom Peed, founder of Sandhills Publishing, realized that if a disaster were
ever to strike the main facilities, Sandhills customers would be badly hurt by
the length of time it would take for system repair and recovery. The Arizona
facility was a well-planned addition aimed at eliminating any downtime that a
catastrophe would likely produce.
 The
new facility serves as a redundant data center, an entire duplicate network
ensuring the integrity and security of all the company's data. If there is ever
a system failure at either branch, the company's Web traffic will be rerouted
seamlessly to the other system. In such an instance, site visitors would never
notice a break in service.
In addition to serving as backup in a time of disaster, the site also gives
Sandhills Publishing room for future growth, an important component in an ever
fluctuating economy. Enormous growth spikes have crippled many Internet-related
businesses that were unprepared for their success. Sandhills has anticipated
the future and looks confidently toward serving more customers all the time.
By creating one of the most reliable systems anywhere, Sandhills Publishing has
given advertisers and site visitors a guarantee for a rich future at the
forefront of the information industry. |
