3PAR announced that CentriLogic has become the first member of the 3PAR Cloud-Agile partner program in Canada. CentriLogic has chosen the 3PAR InServ F-Class Storage Server to power its multi-facility Infrastructure-as-a-Service Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage platforms. In addition, as a 3PAR Cloud-Agile: ASSURED partner, CentriLogic has chosen 3PAR Remote Copy software to deliver Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service.

“We decided to go with 3PAR over the competition because of its superior technology and the business benefits offered by the Cloud-Agile program,” said Jim Latimer, VP of Client Solutions at CentriLogic. “We view 3PAR’s ease of use, availability, scalability, and cross-facility capabilities as crucial to helping us meet our customers’ demands, and we believe the 3PAR Cloud-Agile program to be an important vehicle in helping drive new business.”

“The InServ F-Class offered us superior, load-balanced performance and reliability as compared with the other storage arrays we evaluated,” said Latimer. “Built-in tiered storage capabilities and the ability to cost-efficiently accommodate workloads with varying service level requirements give us the ability to effectively and efficiently tailor solutions to customer needs. In addition, by offering Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service via 3PAR Remote Copy and 3PAR Cloud-Agile: ASSURED, we were able to avoid professional services costs present with other platforms.”

“We are excited to welcome our first 3PAR Cloud-Agile partner in Canada, and to support CentriLogic’s Cloud offerings,” said David Scott, President and CEO for 3PAR. “Since its launch last year, the Cloud-Agile program has gained tremendous traction. With this new addition to the program, the Cloud-Agile partner ecosystem now encompasses leading hosting service providers in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, and South Africa.”
