Unix-Linux Solutions Changes Name to PowerTCO

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 14, 2009 -
New York, New York - Unix-Linux Solutions today announced its new company name, PowerTCO. The company, which specializes in solving clients’ server consolidation and infrastructure planning needs with IBM Power System servers, changed its name to better reflect its technology focus as well as its overarching goal of reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) for clients.

“The PowerTCO name embodies both our technical expertise and commitment to helping New York metropolitan-area clients reduce costs through server/data center consolidation, program/project management and system integration services,” said Ken Milberg, founder and president of PowerTCO. “Unlike many resellers who attempt to be ‘all things to all companies,’ we maintain a strategic and exclusive technology focus around IBM Power Systems that allows us to build on our core competencies and provide maximum value to clients. Our new name more accurately reflects this intent.”

Under the new banner of “PowerTCO,” the company remains essentially unchanged, with the same ownership and management. Milberg has long been a recognized leader in the industry as founder and leader of the NY Metro Power-AIX/Linux Users Group and Board member for COMMON, the world's largest community of IBM midrange users.

In conjunction with the name change, PowerTCO is excited to announce that Milberg will release his new book, “Driving the Power of AIX Performance,” this fall. MC Press, the publisher of the book, will sponsor a book fair August 6 at the IBM Building in New York City, where Milberg will speak and distribute free pre-published copies of his book.

“In a time when reducing costs is a key concern for all companies, IBM’s Power architecture is the optimal means for achieving reliability, availability and scalability without breaking the bank,” said Milberg. “We look forward to continuing to help clients uncover critical business issues, capitalize on Power Systems’ potential and deliver business-impacting results.”
