VIP Introduces New Cloud-Integrated Storage Solution, Expands Partnership With Nasuni


FOLSOM, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 3, 2013) - Visionary Integration Professionals (VIP), a national consulting, technology, and outsourcing firm, is proud to announce a new addition to its solutions portfolio -- Cloud-integrated Storage (CiS) powered by Nasuni. The solution, a packaged offering that combines Nasuni's Storage Infrastructure as a Service (SIaaS) with VIP's data center modernization and data migration services, will save VIP clients time and money with next generation cloud storage solutions.

"VIP will help clients simplify and streamline their IT infrastructure with this new CiS solution," said Jeff Mullins, COO for VIP's commercial and state and local government markets. "We chose Nasuni after an extensive search for the right partner with the most compelling approach. Together we will deliver an efficient and flexible operating model that combines on-premise hardware, cloud storage, and local performance for users."

Nasuni SIaaS offers a unified storage solution with cloud built in and delivered as a service. The solution, which is comprised of cloud storage and an on-premise controller, is managed by a proprietary technology. This unique approach of using cloud storage as a component of the overall solution delivers a single solution that meets the scalability, backup, disaster recovery, and reliability requirements of today's enterprise. Streamlined pricing and cost-effective endpoint controllers further enhance the solution's applicability in larger, cost-sensitive enterprise environments.

"We are excited to be working with VIP on this joint offering, delivering the benefits of Nasuni's consolidated, superior data storage service with the added value of VIP's services," said Bill Simpson, vice president of sales for Nasuni. "Our channel partners are a valuable aspect of our go-to-market strategy. This is another great example of the close partnerships we have and the real demands in the market for storage solutions leveraging the cloud."
