Posted on: Monday, 15 August 2005, 09:00 CDT

MILPITAS, Calif., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Engenio Information Technologies, Inc., today announced the availability of a new e-Learning course, Engenio 2882 with SANtricity 9: Installation & Configuration, which was designed by the company for the benefit of its worldwide partners. Sun Microsystems, an Engenio partner, is making a customized version of the e-Learning class available to its employees and customers. The course is designed to teach partners and end-user customers the proper procedures and techniques for installing, configuring and maintaining an Engenio 2882 array, which Sun resells as the Sun StorEdge(TM) 6130 system.

Students who take the course will learn through interactive simulations and are taught how to set up a new storage array, starting with the pre-planning process and concluding with suggestions for post-installation maintenance. Course topics include: an overview of storage terminology, installing the hardware and configuring the system software.

"Engenio sets itself apart in the industry by providing value-added education and tools to our partners and their customers," said Patty Crowell, Engenio Director of Global Education Services. "Engenio designed the course with input from our sales partners and together we were able to develop and deliver this course, which is a powerful training tool that can be integrated into new hire training, utilized for partner training and integrated into classroom-based courses to provide a blended learning experience. Customers and end users will be able to add to their knowledge base at a time and location of their choosing."

The benefits of e-Learning include improved skills, reduced costs and ease of learning. According to the United States Distance Learning Association, American corporations train 50 million workers annually using distance learning. Corporations save millions of dollars annually using distance learning and employees are trained more effectively and efficiently when compared to conventional classroom education. Distance learning is also beneficial because: students can study at their own pace; it empowers students to sharpen existing skills or develop new ones; and content can be customized to the interests and objectives of specific individuals or organizations.

Development of the e-Learning course is part of Engenio's continuous commitment to providing value-added programs that benefit partners and their customers. Through Engenio's partner program, the company provides innovative programs and services that assist partners through all stages of the sales and post-sales process.

Engenio is a leading provider of innovative, high performance and highly scalable modular storage systems for the open enterprise.
