MSP Oxford Networks Implements STORServer Appliance

STORServer, Inc. announces that MSP Oxford Networks is using
STORServer’s new MSP Appliance to provide data protection as a service to its
clients.

The MSP Appliance is installed at Oxford Networks’ datacenter and consists of
an IBM M4
with the correctly sized amount of resources (memory, disk, networking, etc.),
back-end storage devices to store the data (disk, tape, optical, etc.), IBM TSM data protection software, the STORServer Console  centralized management tool and Front-safe portal software
to manage and charge incoming customers. As a certified STORServer MSP, Oxford
Networks will become the service provider any time a STORServer Cloud Appliance
is sold by a reseller in its region. STORServer offers support of Front-safe,
TSM, SSC and all necessary hardware to Oxford Networks.

"Through the partnership with
STORServer, we’re now able to establish run-rate revenues selling data
protection as a service with a front-faced flexible billing interface,"
said Alan Marblestone, data center product manager, Oxford Networks. "We’re excited to be able to offer an
extremely flexible and configurable off-site repository to our clients’ data."

Built on IBM TSM, STORServer offers a suite of enterprise backup
appliances, software and services that solve today’s backup, archive and DR
challenges.

"Data protection as a service is one
of the fastest growing revenue opportunities in managed services for both large
IT shops and service providers today," said Bill Smoldt, president,
STORServer. "Mid-market companies
have zero tolerance for downtime and system outage. With the MSP Appliance,
MSPs can help clients continue business with minimal disruption from unforeseen
circumstances and capture data protection as a service revenue by leveraging
TSM, STORServer and a user-friendly billing interface."

To become a certified STORServer MSP partner, an MSP Appliance must be purchased
and subsequent training must be done.
