impatient when AddressTwo’s server slowed to a crawl during
peak usage.
Many of AddressTwo’s major customers considered canceling
their accounts if AddressTwo couldn't fix the problem.
AddressTwo knew they needed a cloud service provider who
could take them beyond basic cloud computing and provide a
solution that included a comprehensive data continuity plan and
improved processing speed.

"We chose Polleo Systems because they make data continuity a
no-brainer, and we knew they were going to be able to give us
real, honest advice about our server setup.”
Aside from enhanced cloud services, Polleo Systems understood how
important it was to keep the stress and downtime to a minimum
during the server migration. Weeks before the transition date, Polleo
performed a backup and duplicated AddressTwo's existing server,
including all of its settings, configurations and applications. This
allowed AddressTwo the time needed to test the new system. Once
approved, Polleo performed final data synchronization before
pushing AddressTwo’s new platform live.
The Results
“We got what we
wanted from Polleo.
They definitely don’t

they’re a true

-Nick Carter, AddressTwo Owner
The benefits of moving to the new virtual server were immediate and
unmistakable. Server performance improved and speed issues disappeared. In addition, AddressTwo
learned the former slowdowns were related to the data center. Since the switch to Polleo, backup is a
constant, automatic process. AddressTwo is also saving 20 percent of their previous hosting cost
because they don’t need to outsource their cloud backup to another company.
“We got what we wanted from Polleo," said Carter. "They definitely don't just rent us a box—they're a
true technology partner."
