GreenBytes selects SPS for Technology Partnership

Reeuwijk, October 6 2011 – SPS, a specialist in management and continuity of IT environments, announced today that it has been selected by GreenBytes, a developer of high-performance, energy-efficient inline deduplication data storage solutions, as a new technology reseller partner and support organization for the Dutch market. This collaboration was made possible by Consolidate IT, distributor of GreenBytes solutions in Europe, who brought the two companies together. In this partnership, GreenBytes and SPS will be working together on the integration of GreenBytes products in the Business Service Management Solution (BSM) Gensys from SPS.

Marko de Jong, CEO of SPS: “We are very pleased that GreenBytes selected us for this partnership. The innovative green storage solutions are a perfect match with SPS. We will be working closely with the developers of GreenBytes to integrate their products in our Business Service Management tooling Gensys, which also allows us to carefully and completely (in-depth) monitor this new technology. Because we implemented multiple GreenBytes SANs, Blade Networks / IBM 10G solutions and a variety of virtualization and cluster environments in our own datacenters, we are able to test several virtual machines, VDI, database and Exchange cases and execute benchmarks. With these results and experiences, we can offer our clients qualitative advice about the best configurations and solutions.”

Matt Aitkenhead, VP of Sales at GreenBytes: “We are looking forward to this new technology partnership with SPS, and this is a great next step in our global market strategy. SPS is always ahead of the market with innovative solutions and high-quality knowledge in the area of high-performance storage and 10G solutions, and we believe that SPS is the best partner to operate as our support organization for our Dutch clients.”
