StorTrends Chosen by GEP to Protect SAS Procurement Model

NORCROSS, GA. – GEP, the industry’s leading global provider of procurement consulting, outsourcing and software solutions, has selected StorTrends® from American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) to store important client data.

GEP takes pride in delivering practical, effective procurement services and technologies that enable its clients to maximize their impact on business operations, strategy and financial performance.

Not willing to take a risk with customer data or application downtime, GEP’s Technology Infrastructure Manager Ganesh Chalke was very cautious when it came time to select a data storage solution for the company’s data centers.

Top priorities identified during the vendor selection process included ease of use, quality support, scalability, performance, VMware compatibility and affordability. When the StorTrends team from AMI presented a solution it was an easy decision for GEP – and one that is still viewed as highly beneficial.

“The ManageTrends GUI is remarkably easy to learn and use. You don’t have to be an experienced storage architect,” says Chalke. “Within 15 minutes, you know all you need to create a new volume. It’s really the best storage GUI I’ve seen to date.”

Not only is Chalke impressed with the outstanding performance of the StorTrends solution, but he is also confident that if an issue escalates he has the ability to speak directly with engineers on the StorTrends development team.

“StorTrends support is really best-in-class. First of all, we always get someone on the phone. And if we need to, we can go directly to the engineering team. It’s a very unique customer/vendor relationship that I haven’t seen anywhere else,” commented Chalke.
