NexGen provides a midrange shared storage solution that offers Storage

"As a 100-percent channel
organization, we are pleased to join Promark’s GSA schedule and to provide
channel partners with this expanded opportunity to sell and deliver the NexGen
solutions," said Rick Merlo, VP of sales, NexGen Storage. "Federal, state and local agencies now have
easy access to NexGen’s shared storage solutions, which allow IT managers to
provision performance as easily as capacity and to guarantee performance for
business- and mission-critical applications within a shared storage

"In addition to the
strength of the storage QoS capabilities, NexGen Storage brings unique value to
the market with an innovative tiering architecture that concurrently delivers
high performance and affordable capacity. With NexGen, customers can move data
in real-time between high-performing solid state drives and economical capacity
disk drives to achieve very low $/GB and $/IOP," said Charles Bass, VP,
vendor relations and strategic accounts for Promark Technology. "Our reseller channel quickly embraced the
NexGen solutions for commercial customers. We are excited to add NexGen to our
GSA schedule and bring the advantages of its highly regarded solutions to our
partners and their government customers."

GSA schedules streamline the purchasing process and allow federal,
state and local agencies procure products and services through pre-negotiated
prices, terms and conditions. With NexGen’s storage systems, government
organizations can extend the benefits of virtualization throughout their entire
environment – including their demanding business critical applications and VDI.
