GlassHouse Technologies, the global leader in independent storage consulting and services, announced today that it has been awarded a multi-year California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) contract (contract Number #3-05-70-2267A). CMAS contracts may be utilized by California State and local agencies to procure storage and backup strategic consulting and services from GlassHouse, a recognized industry leader. A Gartner Group report recently ranked GlassHouse as one of the top three leading storage services companies in the world for the second year in a row. (Source: Gartner “Market Trends: Storage Professional Services, North America, 2005”. The report was published on September 21, 2005.)
As important documents and processes have moved away from paper to computers and new regulations come into force, issues of data retention, backup and storage security have become increasingly important. “The California state government and its agencies need to ensure their storage and IT environments are predictable, manageable and secure. What they don’t need is vendor hype and product pushing,” said Kevin Doyle, GlassHouse regional sales director for the west coast. “Being on CMAS lets GlassHouse offer its clients strategic and tactical recommendations to maximize their storage environments. This results in proven return on investment, lowered risk and improved operations.”
Inclusion in the CMAS schedule lets agencies procure a range of GlassHouse services and consulting through a simplified process and with favorable pricing.
GlassHouse services and consulting offered on the schedule include:
- HIPPA IT Assessment
- IT Acquisition Support
- IT Data Recovery
- Project Management
- IT Strategic Planning
- IT Systems Management
- IT Systems Security
- Data Migration Planning
- Security Risk Assessment
