Advanced Systems Group Earns Prominent NetApp Distinction

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- Advanced Systems Group (http://www.virtual.com) (ASG), the Denver-based IT Consulting, Integration, and Project Management firm, today announces it has achieved the prestigious NetApp ® Authorized Professional Service Partner (APSP) award.

NetApp is one of the fastest growing, leading providers of storage and data management solutions to companies around the world. As NetApp's newest Authorized Professional Service Partner, ASG has achieved the highest level of competency in professional service delivery for NetApp technologies.

"NetApp is one of our most valued partners, so this new distinction is another step forward for us," says John Murphy, Executive Vice-President of ASG.

"This achievement both demonstrates and reinforces ASG's commitment to providing cutting-edge technology as well as complete professional services. As a NetApp APSP, we can provide our customers with not only the best possible IT solutions, but also the best implementations of those solutions -- more conveniently and at lower costs to our customers."

As a NetApp APSP, ASG offers both best-in-class NetApp storage systems and Rapid Deployment Services (RDS) to get new NetApp storage systems up and running in a production environment. NetApp-certified technical experts at ASG quickly deploy and fully configure new NetApp storage systems to immediately begin storing mission-critical data. With this service, customers can avoid future, costly downtimes that can result from improperly deployed storage configurations -- an ideal solution for companies with limited internal IT resources or a lack of expertise in NetApp systems.

To achieve this distinction, ASG technical experts successfully completed the same thorough training required for NetApp Global Services personnel. ASG is one of the few companies to accomplish the challenging requirements of the Authorized Professional Service Program in both the Storage System Design and Implementation and the Networked Storage for Virtualized Platforms (VMware) areas of specialization.

Since 1981, Advanced Systems Group (ASG) has provided complete Information Technology (IT) solutions including comprehensive consulting services, successful storage and data management solutions, assessments and implementation services. In particular, ASG focuses on customer needs, customizing unique solutions for companies to successfully address their particular IT challenges.
