RE: Storage signs up four new customers eomStorage @ccess Technologies Inc. (CDNX: SSP), a global provider of total storage management solutions, today announced four new customers for its suite of services. Also, Storage Access announced the addition of four Alliance Channel Partners, each of which will further extend the company's sales network for the delivery of managed storage services to customers in the South Florida region.
Prominent among the new customers is Gunster, Yoakley, & Stewart, P.A., a South Florida-based law firm serving an extensive client base of international, national and local businesses, institutions and local government offices as well as individuals. With seven offices in Florida, the firm is now home to 150 attorneys and 350 employees. Additional customers include South Florida-based technology firms Cyop.net, Eteneo, and Questinghound Technologies.
"The explosive growth of data that we are required to manage has forced us to look to an outsourced solution for answers," stated Michael Greene, a Managing Shareholder of the Governing Committee at Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A. "We are investigating our next and future needs. Storage Access provides the optimum solution for managing and storing the data that we generate in this firm."
"It doesn't make sense for us to continually purchase more storage and servers; the money, time and resources that we would devote to hosting and maintaining data servers is rapidly becoming cost ineffective," Greene continued. "Outsourcing data storage and management functions to Storage Access would provide us with a secure file archive and retrieval solution with the added value of media management and backup and restore capability. Storage Access offers a level of data protection and backup that we can't provide if we continue to keep our data in-house."
"The future of secure data management in a legal environment is outsourcing data to a confidential, secure third party. Storage Access is the provider who meets all of our criteria for organizing and protecting critical information."
Three South Florida-based technology firms, Cyop.net, Eteneo, and Questinghound Technologies, have agreed to subscribe to and implement Storage Access solutions to meet their own data management needs. They have agreed to become Storage Access Alliance Channel Partners as well, enabling them to resell Storage Access services to South Florida customers. In addition, B.International has also signed on as an Alliance Channel Partner.
"Each of our new Alliance Channel Partners has a reputation for delivering productivity-enhancing solutions to South Florida companies," stated Jonathan Castleman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Storage Access. "By signing on as Alliance Channel Partners they recognize the tremendous opportunity that exists in providing managed storage solutions to their new and existing customers."
"Now our new Alliance Channel Partners can offer value-added services that allow their customers to completely outsource storage, archiving and management of an ever-increasing volume of corporate data. Customers who take advantage of these services will be able to focus on conducting business and generating revenue, and they can forget about the expensive, labor-intensive hassle of managing data. Our new Alliance Channel Partners significantly expand the reach of these services in South Florida."
Storage Access will train each new Alliance Channel Partner, enabling them to expertly assess customer needs and recommend the appropriate storage solution. Each Alliance Channel Partner's storage toolkit will then include services for backup and restore functionality, media management, archival and retrieval, disaster recovery, and capacity management.
