IT Solutions by Design Joins Consonus Partner Program to Provide Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity Solutions

Consonus' Expanding Partner Network Brings World-Class IT Solutions to More Businesses.

Cary, NC (PRWEB) July 15, 2009 -- Consonus Technologies today announced that IT Solutions by Design (ITSBD) of Franklin, TN has signed on as a Channel Partner for Consonus' disaster recovery and business continuity solutions. The partnership advances Consonus' commitment to make its investment in its highly-available SAS70 Type II data centers more broadly available through channel partnerships.

ITSBD differentiates itself from its competitors by offering enterprise-class capabilities, services, and support to small- and medium-sized businesses at price points they can afford. This allows smaller firms to achieve the same capabilities, operational efficiencies, and risk avoidance as Fortune 2000 companies.

"The combined expertise of Consonus and ITSBD enables customers to access current, best-of-class disaster recovery solutions without the substantial capital expense and burden associated with typical enterprise-class solutions", said Alexander Coure, Jr., Principal Consultant at IT Solutions by Design Inc. "Through the alliance, Consonus and ITSBD will provide the business continuity services that enable customers to improve operational efficiency, increase profitability, and satisfy regulatory requirements."

"According to a recent Information Technology Report from McKinsey, current data storage growth rates of 50 percent and more per year are driving current systems to the breaking point," said Will Shook, Executive Vice President of Consonus. "Many companies are unable to keep pace with these demands; in addition, increasingly stringent regulations have made data protection, virtualization, and disaster recovery critical business priorities. We are thrilled to partner with ITSBD to address more customers' needs."
