Logicalis First to Receive AAA-level IBM Deployment Accreditation for Tivoli Storage Manager and TotalStorage Productivity Center

Posted on: Thursday, 28 May 2009, 11:00 CDT

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis, an international leader in high-performance technology solutions, is the first to be recognized by IBM for its AAA-level superior storage deployment skills by achieving several technical certification requirements.

"Logicalis is extremely proud to be honored by IBM with this accreditation," Roger Finney Director of Storage said. "We appreciate the validation this AAA-level rating provides for the technology solutions we deliver to our customers everyday."

The annual competition draws hundreds of entries from IBM's major business partners around the world. In this area of expertise, Logicalis is the first IBM partner to earn accreditation as a superior storage service provider with its Tivoli Storage Manager and TotalStorage Productivity Center. According to Logicalis, storage is becoming more and more commoditized. As a result, it is critical to have exceptional storage skills to differentiate yourself from other providers.

"The IBM accreditation designation serves as an excellent way for customers to determine the best technology solutions provider out there," offered Finney. "Because a number of our technical staff attained the various certifications required, we expect to see an increase in our storage services business when our customers, and the larger community, learn that we have been uniquely recognized."

Logicalis has repeatedly demonstrated its unbeatable commitment to storage solutions. For example, when Thilmany Papers saw a need to make some adjustments to their storage environment, they called on Logicalis.

"Logicalis worked with us to first identify our needs and then find the best solution to meet our requirements," Director of Technical Services Greg Libert said. "Their storage experts made a huge difference in architecting the right solution for us, which not only saved us money but addressed our current needs and positioned us for future growth to better support our business. We are extremely pleased with the performance of our IBM storage solution designed by Logicalis. The dedicated support from Logicalis gives us piece of mind knowing we have a partner ready to help when needed."
