December 23, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- InfoLink (infolink.com), an online multiple listing service provider, announced on Wednesday it has successfully completed the implementation of its business continuity infrastructure. The project required the relocation of the company's data center to a colocation facility managed by Equinix in Silicon Valley, allowing for greater reliability and security of information.
The hosting of the InfoLink data center at Equinix is a part of a larger business stabilization effort initiated during 2004 that includes improvements to the call center operation, the MLS database, and the software applications used by the area's real estate agents for accessing the MLS. The goal of these initiatives is to ensure that REIL's customers receive uninterrupted service and accurate information. The move is a significant milestone in the business turnaround at InfoLink since a problematic software transition in the summer of 2003.
"This achievement was the result of outstanding teamwork by the InfoLink technical team and our partner Equinix," says Peter Spicer, REIL interim Chief Information Officer. "We have indeed made great progress this year and look forward to continuing to improve service for our customers in 2005."
The first major upgrade of 2005 will be an industry-standard RETS-compliant database with enhanced tax and area information, expected during the second quarter.
