"Stability and redundancy are critical in travel technology," says Darin McAuliffe, President of HBS. This industry changes incredibly fast. We are doing business world-wide, with hotels as our customer base, and people all over the world are booking rooms at every moment of every day. 

Connecting to our hotel suppliers and distributors with a high degree of stability and flexible bandwidth is very important to us.  Downtime is absolutely unacceptable. We realized that we needed to team with a service provider that is world-class and then some. Sprint was selected for its stability, both technologically and financially, its complete portfolio of services, and its superior network rated high for its reliability, availability, and on-site support of 24x365. All of these are extremely important to HBS." 

According to Peter von der Linde, vice president of sales and service delivery for Sprint, �What we learned from HBS is that the difference between success and failure in their business is uptime.  Without reliable hosting, they could run the risk that �stale� rates and inaccurate data could lead to underselling and overbooking. The Sprint E|Solutions Center in Dallas offers survivability, built-in redundancy for the highest level of reliability, and ultimately increased business productivity.�

Sprint has built and operates 10 domestic-based Sprint E|Solutions Centers to provide hosting solutions to mid-size and large businesses. All centers are equipped with capabilities to accelerate the implementation of mission critical business initiatives and more quickly deliver a strong return on investment.  The E|Solutions Centers are the next-generation version of the data center designed and built to meet the current and future demands for the growing trend of Internet-powered-based businesses.
