SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., Nov. 13, 2010 – Yardi Systems Inc. is pleased to announce today that more than 2,000 companies now leverage Yardi Cloud Services™ to host their property and investment management software solutions.

For 10 years, Yardi has experienced continuous growth as an application service provider for real estate managers who have sought to streamline operations with cost-efficient, highly available hosting solutions. With Yardi Cloud Services, a dedicated team provides 24-hour client support and manages application updates, network security, hardware and infrastructure, allowing clients to focus on their principal business.

“Using Yardi Cloud Services has allowed us to stay more focused on our ever-growing business rather than having to maintain the complex hardware and software necessary for advanced Web-hosting applications,” said Matthew Foster, vice president of IT for DEI Communities. “Our experience with Yardi, from the initial sales proposal, product demonstrations, training, and implementation to the ongoing service and support over the years, has definitely been one of the keys to our company’s success.”

Scott Pechersky, vice president of IT for Alliance Residential Company, said, said, “Managing a Web-based property management system for our $3 billion portfolio is no small task, and Yardi Cloud Services was a clear first choice. Because Yardi’s hosting staff is dedicated to supporting this software and understands all of its complexities, this solution saves us time, hardware costs and worry.”With more than 3,000 servers, Yardi can continue to add new Cloud Services clients and ensure maximum system performance. Cloud Services clients are hosted in nine data centers with 16 networks around the world, including a dedicated business continuity/disaster recovery center in Phoenix, AZ. Comprehensive redundancy and fail-over technology safeguards client data and ensures fast recovery in the event of a disaster. Data centers are PCI-audited and SAS 70 Type II-certified.

“We work hard to set high standards for our Yardi Cloud Services team, and we are happy to see it paying off so consistently for our clients,” said Scott Wiener, Yardi vice president of IT. “In addition to supporting the core Voyager system, our clients can rely on us to manage hundreds of interface feeds to banks and third-party companies as well.”
