CASTLE ROCK, Colo. – November 10, 2003 – SANZ, Inc., a leading storage consulting and system integration company, announces a storage assessment service based on its StorTrustTM process. StorTrust™ applies business process reengineering of storage management to dramatically lower storage management cost and improve service levels. The addition several significant consulting engagements helped fuel a more than 20% quarter on quarter increase in service revenue Q3 over Q2 of 2003. This gain is due in part to the market acceptance of SANZ’ independent and systematic approach to storage assessments.
“These are not the typical assessments that everyone is claiming to offer – which are rarely more than a cursory vendor-biased review. The SANZ independent assessment is conducted by storage consultants, who have designed and implemented the data management strategy for the most demanding commercial and federal environments,” said Michael Phelan, President of SANZ.
The storage assessment comprises three distinct phases: investigation, analysis and design. Business case/justifications are included comparing different technology solutions. This independent review is designed to assist companies in making informed decisions about short- and long-term storage management strategies, specifically addressing the utilization of existing storage resources.
SANZ is focused solely on the rapid deployment, delivery and support of intelligent storage solutions that can dramatically reduce storage management costs while improving efficiencies. Thousands of commercial and government clients have benefited from SANZ’ design and implementation of storage infrastructures, helping them gain a competitive advantage, improve profitability, reduce complexity and increase efficiencies.
SANZ’ StorTrust process involves investigation into the organization’s existing environment. The analysis phase explores management issues, business requirements and benefits for implementing improvements. Analysis is followed by a design phase that identifies the best architecture for supporting current and future data storage needs. A business case and value proposition is then provided that outlines cost, benefits and expected ROI.
SANZ StorTrust assessment costs are based on the number of servers and physical locations that are included in the study, and typically range from $50,000 to $300,000.
“Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery, as well as efficient storage/data management, are not provided through the implementation of technology alone. The crucial components for successful deployment are proper planning and well thought out and documented procedures,” said Chris Wilkes, SANZ VP of Engineering and Services. “We offer total integrated support from the initial assessment through educating our customers to become smarter about storage. In doing so we help them to develop the process and procedures that will deliver a reliable, efficient and highly available data storage environment.”
“SANZ seeks partnerships that are valuable to both our clients and our business. That is why we have developed alliances with the leaders in the industry like Sun Microsystems, Inc., stated Phelan. “As a Sun iForce™ Partner and member of the exclusive Sun Storage Elite program, SANZ teams with Sun Services to help clients improve utilization and reduce IT complexity to resolve storage management challenges in some of the most data-intensive organizations in the world, including major governmental agencies such as the Marine Corps, and Defense Logistics Agency. In addition, Sun StorEdgeTM solutions are tightly integrated with Sun servers for the greatest application performance and reliability, and support heterogeneous environments for investment protection.”
