CNS Achieves Dell EqualLogic EA Certified Partner Status

July 22, 2009 - PRLog -- At CNS, we understand that data storage is crucial to your business, and consolidation of storage is becoming a priority for many organizations. As a Dell EA Certified Partner, we offer storage solutions that provide real business value and a rapid ROI.

As a leading Dell EqualLogic Partner, we deliver the benefits of consolidated network storage in a self-managing iSCSI storage area network that is affordable and easy to use, regardless of scale. By eliminating complex tasks and enabling fast and flexible storage provisioning, Dell EqualLogic solutions dramatically reduce the costs of storage acquisition and ongoing operations, and. is particularly strong for those organizations wishing to take full advantage of a virtual server environment.

Dell EqualLogic SANs employ patented page-based volume management which enables automatic movement of data while it is in use. This technology provides the foundation for online expansion, automatic configuration and load balancing, performance optimization and advanced software functionality – all with continuous access to data. This means no downtime for increasing capacity, moving data between storage tiers, or load balancing storage. Most management tasks are handled by the array, not the administrator. As a result, Dell EqualLogic makes enterprise-class shared-block storage practical for all servers and applications. 

The engineers at CNS have exceeded all requirements of the Dell EqualLogic EA partner program, for which training is a core requirement. Dell has comprehensive sales and technical training programs to achieve certification for selling and implementing their award-winning products and services. CNS engineers are certified Dell EA Certified Storage Specialists, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Specialists as well as certified VMWare Virtualization Specialists.

Alan Cook, CEO at CNS commented: “CNS’s focus on delivering consistent return to our customers and partners, including Dell and VMware, have proved a winning formula for all.” Mr. Cook continued, “Our Dell EqualLogic and Virtualization deployments save our customers via a phased approach to cost-effective business continuity, while providing immediate ROI through a reduction in operational cost.”  

Building on a vision of simplifying network storage, Dell EqualLogic's peer storage architecture combines advanced software features with fully-redundant, hot-swappable hardware integrated in a modular chassis design. This architecture delivers an affordable, enterprise-class storage system that is easy to manage and always available.

Whether you are seeking to consolidate storage, migrate from SAN or NAS, streamline data protection, or expand capacity, the PS Series of proven, self-managing storage arrays will meet the demanding requirements of your business-critical environment.
