Skye Consult, leading IT consultancy and reseller, today announced that following an ever-increasing demand to provide both their SME and enterprise clients with affordable and scalable storage solutions they have recently forged a partnership with leading iSCSI SAN solution provider, EqualLogic.

Skye Consult appreciates that organizations of all sizes require data storage solutions that are affordable, scalable, yet still provide high availability and high performance. However, with the current costs involved with Fibre channel technology, many clients do not have the budget available to invest in costly and complex SAN solutions. With the EqualLogic PS Series family of iSCSI storage arrays, clients can benefit from the functionality, reliability and the performance of traditional solutions, without the heavy investment in Fibre Channel SAN technology.

Sam Mager, Sales Director of Skye Consult, comments, “I am delighted to confirm our recent partnership with EqualLogic, its storage offering is second to none in the market today as far as functionality and affordability is concerned, meaning we are now able to offer our clients a highly performing and functionality rich solution at a fraction of the cost of some of the other leading storage vendors. This ability to offer more for less is in keeping with our Skye Consult ethos. We focus on delivering high-end affordable solutions and services that allow our clients to make the most out of limited IT budgets. With the PS Series self-managing storage arrays, we are confident that we can meet the demanding requirements from our clients to implement cost-effective, easy-to-manage SAN solutions.” 

The EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI SANs change the way companies experience storage, from purchase and setup to operations and upgrades. Unlike traditional storage arrays, the EqualLogic PS Series comes complete with all of the available software features that are needed to create and run a storage area network. There is no additional software to install or service costs to initiate any of the data management or protection features that you would expect from an enterprise-class SAN.

“Our clients appreciate our honest approach, another reason why the EqualLogic PS Series is perfect for our client base, with no additional software, modules, or any other hidden costs, we are confident that we are providing our clients with an accurate cost upfront for each required solution,” says Mager.

“Our partnership with Skye Consult will help us reach more companies that need the benefits of consolidated storage, sophisticated storage management and data protection without the cost and complexity of traditional solutions,” said Nick Dunn, Country Manager, UK & Ireland for EqualLogic. “We seek out channel partners who understand the fundamental change we bring to the way SANs are deployed and managed, and Skye’s approach to servicing its customers’ needs in innovative ways is in line with our own philosophy.”
