CreekPath Systems®, an award winning, independent software vendor empowering organizations to obtain the maximum value from their storage operations, today announced an alliance with Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) that will help global enterprises optimize their storage infrastructure, while positioning them to realize the benefits of a true storage utility.
Most Fortune 1000 companies today are managing the massive growth in storage while consolidating storage and servers, connecting disparate platforms, and working to meet increasing service level objectives. As these issues continue to drive companies to approach storage as a utility, CSC and CreekPath have established an alliance to enable companies to successfully achieve this goal through a single, policy based, workflow driven, automated management platform and a proven integration model.
"Customers are faced with a serious dilemma as they strive to achieve maximum value and efficiency from IT storage operations today. There is increasing tension created by their need to manage constantly growing storage capacity and complexity without increasing management staff or spending. The alliance formed by CSC and CreekPath Systems should help provide immediate relief for this tension," said Bill North, Research Director, International Data Corporation. "The significant combination of the CreekPath Suite of software and CSC's integration expertise should help companies accelerate toward realizing the benefits of storage utility."
"Entering into an alliance with this leading global IT services company is a significant step forward in CreekPath's evolution and is indisputable validation of our solid market position. CSC's reputation and marquee customer base brings scale and broad reach to CreekPath," said Dennis J. Grant, CEO, CreekPath Systems. "Together CreekPath and CSC will increase business flexibility, agility, and responsiveness for companies by providing an integrated solution that centralizes the management of the storage infrastructure."
After a year of extensively evaluating all of the major storage management software solutions, CSC chose the CreekPath Suite for storage operations management, making it an integral part of the CSC technology stack.
"CreekPath's vision aligns with our CSC Results-Driven Computing(SM) strategy to provide the best business-driven storage management offerings to our clients," said Russ Owen, President of CSC's Global Infrastructure Services. "Their storage management solutions integrate well with our technology and process management capabilities to provide solid business results."
CSC is leveraging the CreekPath Suite to assist in new client transitions, manage the day-to-day operations of client storage environments and be part of its next-generation storage utility offerings. The unique features of the CreekPath Suite help CSC maintain a secure, centralized framework that manages its global storage assets and reduces the time it takes to deliver services.
"The storage service providers that invest in leading technologies such as policy based, process driven management software will be the companies that successfully build key competencies that will propel them to a leadership position," said Bob Passmore, vice president, Gartner. "Storage service providers that offer this knowledge in an integrated solution fully understand customer needs."
