Alliance brings together the leading storage virtualisation provider with Europe's leading IT-Infrastructure provider
2008-09-12 15:03:06 -
DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualisation software, and Fujitsu-Siemens Computers (FSC), Europe's leading producer of IT-Infrastructure services, today announced a new partnership across Europe READING, UK - September 12, 2008 - . With immediate effect, both companies will collaborate in distribution, marketing and technical support to optimise the experience for mutual customers and partners. The agreement is ongoing and has come about through the continued growth and market success of DataCore's storage virtualisation software projects and FSC's IT-extensive hardware and project support.
The agreement focuses primarily in distribution and support, especially in the support of FSC reseller partners when they implement storage consolidation and SAN-Projects using DataCore's SANmelody or SANsymphony solutions. Resellers, integrators and system vendors can utilise the technical support centres of FSC and can readily access information about products and developments, allowing them to reduce sales-cycles and realise projects more efficiently. In addition, DataCore has been added to the Fujitsu-Siemens Computers catalogue of recommended software solutions.
"The alliance partnership with a leading European IT-Infrastructure producer is an important step on the way to opening new markets. FSC has already implemented many successful virtualisation projects with our software, especially those seeking high-availability and disaster recovery solutions within tight budget constraints. The collaboration basically guarantees that with immediate effect, the best assistance with distribution, marketing and support, are available all out of one place", says Siegfried Betke, Director Central Europe at DataCore Software GmbH.
