ANS Group partners with NetApp to deliver comprehensive virtualisation and data storage solutions
Tue 31st Mar 09 - 9:43
Leading technology infrastructure specialist, ANS Group, today announced it has joined the NetApp Partner Program as Gold Level partner. The partnership with storage and data management vendor, NetApp will enable ANS Group to expand its virtualisation and storage services - offering even greater efficiencies and cost savings to customers.
As Gold partner, ANS Group will be able to access the complete portfolio of NetApp solutions and benefit from a variety of tools, including a dedicated Partner Portal, adapted training, sales and marketing programs, all designed specifically to facilitate the sales cycle and provide the necessary skills to succeed and grow business. ANS Group chose NetApp as a partner not only because of its strong position in the market place, but also of its excellent customer service and unrivalled ability to offer guaranteed data reduction.
In Deloitte's TMT Predictions 2009, data storage is highlighted as a key area for change, and challenges companies to review whether their "total cost of storage is growing faster than their revenues".
Paul Sweeney, managing director of ANS Group, commented:
"Organisations are starting to realise that digital storage is not infinite and that if left unchecked it can become expensive and unreliable. We're experiencing a significant increase in the number of companies wanting to know how they can minimise their storage costs. This partnership means that as interest escalates throughout 2009, we are in a strong position to offer our clients a service which is second to none."
Pete Rawden, Director, General Business & Channels, NetApp, commented:
"ANS Group's strong credentials, including VMware gold partner status, prove that they are an industry leader in virtualisation. The company has also built a strong reputation, which mirrors our own values of excellence in delivery and customer service. As they enhance their portfolio with NetApp, customers will have the opportunity to benefit from comprehensive virtualisation solutions based on storage efficiency, simplicity and reliability."
