Fusion Implements Cloud Connection for Major East Coast University

Fusion has announced that a major East Coast University has signed a three-year, $150,000 agreement to replace its legacy communications infrastructure with Fusion’s network connection to the cloud.

The private institution is housed in more than 100 buildings spread across more than 200 acres. It needed a diverse, high quality communications solution that would allow the learning institution to securely access the many cost, efficiency and productivity benefits of the cloud while ensuring business continuity in the event of natural or other disaster.

In addition to the connectivity  itself, Fusion’s routing management portal seamlessly distributes calls across multiple sites, ensuring that the university’s communications can continue to flow during peak traffic periods or unforeseen interruptions in power or connectivity.

The initial cloud connection makes possible the future integration of additional Fusion cloud solutions, including cloud voice, connectivity, cloud computing, backup and recovery and secure file sharing.

“Fusion is delighted to deliver a flexible and reliable solution that maximizes the university’s control over its own changing service environment, reducing costs in the process and increasing productivity and efficiency,” said Russell Markman, Fusion’s president of business services. “Fusion’s advanced, proprietary cloud platform combines intelligent routing features with a real-time routing capability that takes the challenge out of capacity planning and addresses call overflows during peak usage periods or any service-impacting event. Replacing the university’s aging, legacy infrastructure with scalable, flexible and cost-effective cloud solutions will future-proof its investments and help this well-respected learning institution meet its rapidly expanding communications requirements.”
