Technologent and Gresham Storage Solutions Partner to Offer Solution for Tape Storage Managment

LAKE FOREST, CA, May 15, 2009 - Technologent, a nationwide Solutions Integrator, and Gresham Storage Solutions announced today that Gresham’s two distinct offerings, Clareti EDT and Clareti Storage Director, are available through Technologent.

Clareti EDT (Enterprise DistribuTape) is the industry standard for Tivoli Storage Management (TSM) features and function enhancement. EDT augments TSM to extend both the functionalities and investments of all attached tape storage resources by:

  • Sharing a consolidated drive pool by multiple TSM servers and LAN-free clients

  • Optimizing drive operations to meet business requirements

  • Automating media management and reporting/diagnostics

  • Enabling library sharing between mainframe and open systems environments

Chosen by Global 2000 companies, Clareti EDT delivers non-disruptive data access on a 24x7 basis. Clareti EDT is essential for large storage environments running TSM, where reliable and efficient tape storage is mandatory and failures cannot be tolerated.

The Technologent team of engineers have been trained and certified on Gresham’s proven implementation methodology. Gresham integrates easily into the environment by means of their Tape Virtualization Director (TVD) and imparts comprehensive management control while optimizing performance and reducing the operational costs associated with data backup and restoration.

"Technologent is a leading provider of IT solutions and the Gresham solution is a match to our core business, which is to use proven hardware and software technologies, along with end-to-end services expertise, to deliver solutions that maximize value, lower costs and improve performance," said Marco Mohajer, Sr. Vice President Sales, Marketing and Professional Services. “Many enterprises are considering their options for tape handling as the demand for more data retention increases. The Gresham Solution is the means to control these alternatives and is the highway to successful migration of tape technologies."

"Our commitment is to help our partners build a robust and profitable business based on professionalism and integrity. We recognize that our partners will often require a personalized approach and that "one size does not fit all." said Christopher S. Young, Executive Vice President, Gresham Storage Solutions. "We are very pleased to be teaming up with a leading company like Technologent to introduce and implement Gresham products as a solution for managing data growth."
