ASEMPRA TECHNOLOGIES AND MSI ENTER INTO STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
VARBusiness 500 Reseller to Offer Business Continuity Server (BCS) to Its Customer Base
Sunnyvale, Calif. (July 25, 2007) — Asempra Technologies, a leading provider
of data protection and instantaneous application and data availability solutions for Windows
environments, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with MSI Systems
Integrators (MSI). MSI, headquartered in Omaha, Neb. with locations in 15 states and Canada,
has been a member of VARBusiness’s prestigious VARBusiness 500 for several years. MSI
matches its comprehensive hardware and software solutions with extensive service offerings
that include a strong practice in backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity. MSI
is an IBM Premier Business Partner, Cisco Gold Business Partner, and Microsoft Gold
Certified Partner.
“We are extremely excited to be working with such an innovative data protection company
as Asempra,” said Tony Regier, senior vice president, storage practice, MSI Systems
Integrators. “Asempra’s Business Continuity Server™ (BCS) is focused squarely
at Windows-centric companies with a data protection solution that delivers near-zero data loss
and recovery times in seconds and minutes. With our extensive experience in the backup,
disaster recovery, and business continuity solution areas, we quickly saw the unique value
the BCS will deliver to our customers.”
Asempra’s patented application-aware, file-based, and real-time data protection solution
delivers near-zero data loss with guaranteed application and data availability for Windows
environments. Using Virtual On-Demand Recovery™ technology, an application’s data
is available for use within minutes, even seconds, of recovery. The data recovered is
guaranteed to be completely usable on the first recovery, eliminating the need for multiple,
costly manual recoveries that often result from other technologies and products. With the
Business Continuity Server, simple point and click global to granular recovery provides
flexibility that ranges from individual objects, such as a single e-mail or file, all
the way to a complete data center. Asempra dramatically reduces the cost and complexity
of IT data protection by consolidating the needs of business continuity, disaster recovery,
e-discovery, recovery management, compliance and governance into a single solution.
“The partnership of Asempra and MSI provides Windows customers an exceptional data
protection and instantaneous availability solution,” said Michael Hughes, vice
president of sales for Asempra. “Asempra has achieved a major milestone by having
one of North America’s strongest resellers as its valued partner. With MSI’s
extensive customer relationships, outstanding support, and broad experience in disaster
recovery and business continuity practice, Asempra and MSI can provide customers the
most comprehensive data protection solution for Windows environments.”
