YMCA of Greater Des Moines: Cloud Computing

YMCA Cloud Computing Project

Customer Success
Cloud Computing Project Highlights: YMCA of Greater Des Moines

Prior to switching to the Alliance cloud, the YMCA was running multiple servers out of each of their 10 branch offices. There was limited connectivity between locations, which became problematic as branch offices began sharing employees. Because office staff were only connected to the servers at their main location it made it difficult to access the applications and files they needed when they changed offices. By migrating to a centralized computing platform, delivered via a hosted cloud infrastructure, all staff can now share files and applications from one pool of resources, which they can access via the Internet.

The Alliance Technologies Cloud Computing solution provides benefits to the YMCA in four major areas:

  • Being able to access and share information between multiple locations
  • Simplifying the management and maintenance of their IT infrastructure
  • Disaster recovery and data security through a private hosting facility
  • Eases future expansion plans and opening up new locations
