Resellers now have more cost-effective alternative
Services and solutions provider TelosIT, Inc. already delivers solutions that combine DataCore with Virtual Iron. “Lifeboat’s decision to offer additional margin for using DataCore in conjunction with Virtual Iron is something we will leverage,” said Kevin Carlson, CTO, TelosIT. “This represents a very cost-effective option for resellers and the resellers taking advantage of this opportunity will soon see just what high performance solutions are possible when combining these two robust offerings.”
The DataCore and Virtual Iron combination benefits customers – virtual storage and virtual servers go hand-in-hand
Solutions provider TelosIT has already enabled Matrix Design Group, an award-winning interdisciplinary firm providing professional engineering consulting, including program management and client representation, for both the private and public sectors, to expand capacity and achieve dual-site data redundancy, while saving tens of thousands on lease renewals on its previous generation SAN with DataCore and Virtual Iron. “With DataCore and Virtual Iron in place both administration and management were simplified greatly and I was able to further reduce my IT spending.” said Eric W. Smith, vice president, Matrix Design Group.
