SMS proTECH selects LeftHand Networks Storage Solution

Sidney, OH, October, 2008 – SMS proTECH, a leading provider of business-to-business
systems integrations solutions, announced a strategic addition to their storage portfolio by partnering with LeftHand Networks.

“We’re pleased to offer our customers an easy to deploy and maintain, ’grow as you need’ data storage option. More importantly, our goal is to provide solutions that simplify management, reduce costs and optimize virtual environments,” shares Kathy Vogler, Marketing Manager, SMS proTECH. “Our commitment to provide best-of-breed in virtualization technologies led us straight to LeftHand Networks. Their innovative solutions provide double-fault protection across the entire SAN (Storage Area Network) without driving up storage costs.”

Technology demands reliability, ease of retrieval and best practices that achieve compliance requirements for storage and disaster recovery solutions. The LeftHand Virtualization SAN provides IT Administrators with flexible and dynamic shared storage. In addition, the solution can be upgraded or changed at any time without requiring painful and costly downtime.

Flexible and fast-changing virtualized environments require equally flexible storage that can adapt and change in real time. Pioneers of iSCSI SAN technology, LeftHand SANs are
composed of multiple storage nodes, clustered together into a single storage system. Each NSM storage node contains all of the elements of a complete storage system.
LeftHand Networks’ portfolio extends HP’s storage solutions to the midmarket with software that runs on both existing storage and industry-standard server hardware. SMS offers HP storage solutions for both small business and enterprise business, and the addition of LeftHand Networks solutions enables midsize companies and remote offices or branches of large corporations to easily and cost-effectively protect critical business data.
