Advanced Systems Group Joins Sun Microsystems Road Show to Introduce First Open Storage Technology

ASG sponsors the Sun "Open Road to Savings" Innovation Road Show

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Advanced Systems Group (ASG), the Denver-based IT Consulting, Integration, and Project Management firm, today announces it has joined the Sun Microsystems Road Show for nine of sixteen Sun road shows in the Western United States.

As one of the top five Sun Microsystems Executive Partners in the United States, ASG is sponsoring the half-day seminars, scheduled through February and March. The shows will describe how recent Sun Microsystems innovations can help companies reduce storage costs, and lower power, heating and cooling costs while delivering maximum storage performance. ASG specialists also will be available at each of the ASG-sponsored road shows to help customers address effective implementation and integration of the new Sun innovations into their current IT environments.

In particular, the road shows will feature the new, first open storage appliances in the industry, combining cost-efficient components and open source software. Sun designed the Unified Storage Systems to simplify storage management, reduce storage costs, and help companies isolate and resolve issues that impact their business -- ultimately allowing companies to grow their business into new, emerging markets.

"In these difficult times, companies are seeing their budgets shrink and their storage requirements grow. Companies need to find more creative ways to address both issues," says Mark Teter, Chief Technologist at ASG.

"These events are an opportunity for ASG to let customers know we can help them navigate through difficult times from start to finish and save them money at the same time. A powerful storage system that can reduce storage costs by 75 percent is a significant step in that direction," Teter continues

With an easy-to-use management interface, the new Sun Open Storage requires no additional training, and with a comprehensive analytics environment, IT teams can isolate and resolve issues. At a company level, the Sun Open Storage includes an advanced Hybrid Storage Pool design that automatically optimizes performance and helps lower power and cooling requirements.
