Future Generation Group Reseller of X-IO

X-IO Technologies (Xiotech Corporation) has signed storage specialist Future Generation Group Ltd, as a reseller of
its portfolio of storage solutions.

X-IO’s Intelligent Storage Elements (ISE) technology is designed to help
businesses accelerate transactional, reporting and business intelligence
applications by a factor of 3X or more and because it is for virtualised
environments, it is a fit for FGGL’s customers.

The partnership is part of a channel recruitment drive,
and follows the appointment of ICT distributor, Commtech Solutions Ltd.

Peter Stroud, MD,
FGGL, said: "Working with X-IO’s ISE
technology enables us to provide an answer for performance starved applications
in virtualised environments. As a storage specialist, FGGL is always looking at
emerging technologies that can provide genuine customer benefits.

"We especially like the robust nature of X-IO,
with its ‘zero touch‘ approach and self-healing technology
built in that has a dramatic impact on reliability and absolutely minimises
downtime. When combined with its class leading low power consumption, the
performance levels it can achieve, and a host of real life application vendor
and user testimonials, we are confident we are recommending one of the best
storage platforms currently available".

X-IO designed its ISE architecture to accelerate enterprise business
applications but it also drives performance and value for big data needs.
Each ISE unit is a self-contained storage building block
and is designed to scale so that no matter how many ISE units are added to
increase capacity, full storage performance is maintained. The units also
contribute to customers’ environmental credentials thanks to its low energy
consumption and low HVAC loads.

Roger Walton, VP EMEA, X-IO, said: "FGGL has an outstanding track record in providing value added
enterprise storage solutions to its customers. We fit well into their portfolio
as X-IO’s storage solutions focus on both consistent and accelerated
performance, using either HDD drives or a hybrid solution combining SSD
and HDD. This dramatically reduces storage costs and helps minimise the data
centre footprint for all of FGGL’s customers."
