  • IBM Sees Real ‘Value’ in VAULT400

    September 18, 2007 Alex Woodie

    United Computer Group, the Cleveland, Ohio, company behind the VAULT400 online backup offering, received a big stamp of approval from IBM this month when it was awarded a “value added enhancement,” or VAE, in the managed services category.

    VAEs are highly coveted certifications that bestow upon the holder the right to conduct business in highly competitive reseller channels. As such, they can make or break a company’s entire existence in certain business segments. In this case, the VAE allows UCG to sell a range of IBM equipment, including System i, System p, System z, and SurePOS point-of-sale hardware.

    “The VAE approval by IBM, combined with our already IBM System i Server Proven status, is exciting news for our end-user clients and business marketing affiliates,” says Jim Kandrac, president of UCG. “Many of our new VAULT400 clients are in need of a server upgrade and this managed service value add will enable our sales and technical team to provide a turnkey hardware, software application solution to their online backup and disaster recovery requirements.”

    VAULT400 has been attracting customers lately with its disaster recovery service, which combines online backups with System i servers that customers can use to get their businesses recovered in the event of an emergency. The offering utilizes i5/OS-based agents from EVault that back up the servers and send the encrypted and compressed data to a UCG data center in Columbus, Ohio, that features several electricity sources to ensure uptime.

    UCG says that, while there are several products on the market that provide online backup and data vaulting, the VAULT400 offering stands out thanks to its “broad platform coverage and focus on the IBM System i.”

    Chordia Consulting announces its first annual 2021 IT Management Effectiveness Survey

    Chordia Consulting’s 2021 IT Management Effectiveness Survey can help clients identify top problem hotspots and priorities for improvement.  There is no charge for survey participation, and clients will receive a personalized, easy-to-understand survey feedback report (a $500 value) right away, together with a full, comparative analysis report when the survey is completed.

    The survey takes only a few minutes to complete using the secure Alchemer survey tool, and is based on RAITH™, Chordia’s proprietary on-line IT healthcheck service and the underlying, proven IT/CBM™ management model.  The focus is on real-world client IT management issues, particularly in the context of today’s IT environment and priorities.  Should clients wish to extend the value of their survey feedback report by conducting a more detailed and complete Chordia RAITH™ IT healthcheck, RAITH is available at a discounted rate for survey participants through June 30 of this year.

    In addition to being offered to IT clients of all sizes, across all industries, and on a worldwide basis, the Chordia survey may also be used by other IT service providers and consulting firms as a means of better understanding the evolving needs of their clients.   Chordia is offering such partners the opportunity to become ‘sponsors’ and invite their own clients to take the survey as a group.  These collective client responses will be bundled into a service provider-specific subset of the full analysis report, offering more focused insight into each sponsor’s existing client population.  Again, this sponsor-specific service is offered at no-charge.

    Whether you’re an IT or business leader looking to learn more about how to improve your IT capabilities in 2021 or an IT professional service provider seeking to understand how better to serve their client base, take a look at Chordia Consulting’s no-charge IT Management Effectiveness Survey – it may be a perfect first step to rebuilding in 2021.
