X-IO Signed Up Aegis

X-IO Technologies (Xiotech Corporation) announced
that it has signed up specialist IT systems solutions provider Aegis IT Ltd to sell its Intelligent Storage
Element (ISE) systems across the UK.

With OPEX demands becoming a top concern for CIOs, this agreement means Aegis
can integrate storage solutions into
its business solution stacks enabling lower operational costs for the
mid-market space.

Established in 2004, Aegis IT has become one of the leading providers
of technology solutions in the North of England. As a consultative system
integrator, it prides itself on the credibility it has built in the market and
its team of experts has worked with organisations including Sage, G4S, Turner Broadcasting
and nPower. Aegis is customer focused and prides itself on understanding and interpreting individual customer’s needs, and
supplying the appropriate sub-systems for those needs, based on value for
money, acceptable levels of risk and technical capabilities.

Dave McPherson, technical director, Aegis, said: "We believe that our customers shouldn’t be spending money they don’t
have on solutions they don’t need. Instead, we spend time evaluating our
clients OPEX challenges and then help them to choose and build the right IT
infrastructure. The decision requires a careful balance of cost against risk to
achieve appropriate service levels and performance. For us it’s about advising
and supporting our customers to help them deliver more value from their
technology investments to allow competitive advantage."

He added: "After
spending a week with X-IO at its Colorado HQ, we have been educated on the
benefits that X-IO’s solutions offer, in terms of getting the best out of HDDs
and exploiting the benefits of SSD technology. The customer requirement for
reliable and  zero touch’ systems is met
by X-IO’s five year warranty and the solutions deliver solid value and clear
benefits which we look forward to sharing with our customers."

Roger Walton, VP EMEA, X-IO, said: "Aegis
is a high class systems integrator. The company takes its time to carefully
evaluate each customers’ needs and then building exactly the right solution. To
have Aegis on board is a significant channel boost for X-IO and we look forward
to working together."
