Original Press Release:
APTARE Announces StorageConsole Managed Services Edition, Software Now Available as a Hosted Solution
CAMPBELL, Calif., June 26 // -- APTARE, Inc., provider of web-based data protection management software, today announced APTARE StorageConsole(R) Managed Services Edition. The software enables resellers and managed service providers to offer customers real time backup reporting and active management for VERITAS NetBackup(TM) and IBM Tivoli(R) Storage Manager as a managed service.
Users of APTARE StorageConsole Managed Services Edition will have access to the same powerful features as APTARE StorageConsole 5.1 Enterprise Edition. Using the centralized, web-based portal, storage administrators can increase the integrity of their data protection by being able to quickly identify unprotected data, improve capacity planning, increase performance, and provide compliance with audits and legal discovery.
The new features in APTARE StorageConsole Managed Services Edition help streamline the process for resellers as they offer the software as an additional managed service to their customers. The new features include:
o A customer-provisioning interface helps resellers and managed
service providers easily provision and manage their customers and
their data, regardless of the environment's size or number of
locations.
o Flexible branding templates allow resellers and managed service
providers to apply their own company branding to the APTARE
StorageConsole portal. This enables them to integrate the APTARE
StorageConsole service into their existing line of branded
services offerings.
o Annual subscription pricing minimizes overhead for resellers and
managed service providers as they offer low-cost service
subscriptions to their customers.
o APTARE will also host the portal for authorized managed service
providers, eliminating the upfront costs of hardware and managing
a secure Internet portal.
"APTARE StorageConsole was designed from day one as a managed service platform," said Richard Clark, president and CEO of APTARE. "As storage infrastructures become increasingly complex, enterprises are outsourcing their storage needs to trusted advisors like GlassHouse Technologies. This new edition of APTARE StorageConsole makes it even easier for managed service providers to offer our product as a service. We're committed to developing products that enable managed service providers like GlassHouse to deliver best-in-class storage services to their customers."
APTARE StorageConsole's standards-based, patented architecture is the underlying technology that allows the software to be easily deployed as a managed service solution. APTARE StorageConsole uses SSL/HTTPS to securely transmit data over the Internet. There are no proprietary ports or protocols required, so the software can be deployed quickly without any changes to corporate firewall policies. The APTARE StorageConsole Managed Services Portal can be accessed using any popular browser from anywhere in the world.
"When we take on responsibility for managing our client's backup operations, it's imperative that we leverage not only the talent of our global team, but also the right tools to match the environment in question," said Andy Norman, Practice Leader for GlassHouse Operational Support Services. "Having reliable data about the performance of the backup environment is critical to ensuring we can meet the stringent quality goals we set. To that end, we've worked with APTARE and leveraged their APTARE StorageConsole Managed Services Portal to provide critical performance metrics with great success."
"Data protection management software is part of one of the fastest growing segments in the storage market," said Doug Chandler, program director, Storage Software and Services for IDC. "APTARE StorageConsole Managed Services Edition can serve the needs of customers who don't want to run a management application locally, and of service providers who want to add these capabilities to their solution."
