Vision Technologies Becomes DataCore Premier Partner

DataCore Software Corporation and Vision Technologies, Inc., an IT services company and service-disabled veteran-owned small business, announced that Vision has qualified for the DataCore Premier Partner Program.

With the addition of the SANsymphony-V storage virtualization platform to its portfolio, Vision can provide its clients with a software architecture that maximizes return on storage investments and meets the business-critical application performance requirements of demanding commercial and government environments.

“The Vision difference is a level of excellence in IT service and craftsmanship that’s driven by our people and guided by client’s needs throughout the lifecycle,” said the Vision president and CEO, John Shetrone. “We look at immediate needs, but, flexibility down-the-road is equally important. Clients have to be able to maximize storage investments and ensure performance of critical business applications. Still, being able to take advantage of future developments is vital, so avoiding vendor hardware lock-in is also vital. DataCore’s SANsymphony-V uniquely delivers these benefits and the Premier Partner Program expands our market potential.”

Based in Glen Burnie, MD., with additional offices in Mooresville, NC and Chantilly, VA., Vision is a systems integrator with national reach that helps reshape the way commercial clients and federal agencies use technology to improve the QoSs they deliver. The company provides clients with solutions to deliver integrated wired and wireless systems from the data center to the desktop for security, access control, and surveillance, audio-visual and teleconferencing systems. Five business units support clients in network infrastructure, converged technologies, global services, technical services and Federal systems.

SANsymphony-V is an agnostic storage virtualization platform that enables companies to avoid hardware lock-in and purchase only the equipment that best suits their business goals. The software empowers customers’ existing storage and improves business critical application performance. Features, such as automated storage tiering, allow IT administrators to get the maximum ROI from expensive hardware purchases, such as flash and SSDs. This assures that only applications and databases that require powerful computing are ever stored on them, while less frequently used, non-critical data is sent to less costly and lower performing equipment or even cloud-based options.

“Vision is known for advocating for their clients, truly acting as a resource that is going to deliver the greatest IT value,” said the director of partners sales for DataCore, Devin Schiffman. “These are the types of companies we demand as Premier Partners. Not only do they fully understand the benefits of storage virtualization and software-defined solutions, they realize there are right and wrong ways to approaching deployments. Furthermore, this approach ensures that Vision will remain on the forefront of technology development in such critical areas, and that’s a commitment our organizations share.“
