X-IO Storage appoints storage specialist reseller Future Generation Group (FGGL)

X-IO Technologies has signed storage specialist, FGGL, as a reseller of its portfolio of high performance storage solutions. X-IO’s Intelligent Storage Elements (ISE) technology is designed to help businesses accelerate transactional, reporting and business intelligence applications by a factor of 3X or more and because it is ideal for virtualised environments, it is a perfect fit for FGGL’s customers.

The partnership with FGGL is part of an extensive channel recruitment drive, and follows the appointment of ICT distributor, Commtech. Peter Stroud, Managing Director, FGGL, said: “Working with X-IO’s ISE technology enables us to provide an answer for performance starved applications in virtualised environments. As a storage specialist, FGGL is always looking at emerging technologies that can provide genuine customer benefits.
“We especially like the robust nature of X-IO, with its ”zero touch” approach and self-healing technology built in that has a dramatic impact on reliability and absolutely minimises downtime. When combined with its class leading low power consumption, the performance levels it can achieve, and a host of real life application vendor and user testimonials, we are confident we are recommending one of the best storage platforms currently available”.

X-IO designed its ISE architecture to accelerate enterprise business applications but it also drives unmatched performance & value, even for big data needs. Each X-IO ISE unit is a completely self-contained storage building block and is designed to scale so that no matter how many ISE units are added to increase capacity, full storage performance is maintained. The ISE units also contribute significantly to customers’ environmental credentials thanks to its low energy consumption and low HVAC loads.

Roger Walton, Vice President EMEA, X-IO Technologies, said: “FGGL has an outstanding track record in providing value added enterprise storage solutions to its customers. We fit well into their portfolio as X-IO’s storage solutions focus on both consistent and accelerated performance, using either hard disk drives (HDD) or a hybrid solution combining SSD and HDD. This dramatically reduces storage costs and helps minimise the data centre footprint for all of FGGL’s customers.”
