3PAR Utility Storage Strengthens Nissho’s Support for Customers Developing Cloud-Based Infrastructures
August 2010 by Marc Jacob
3PAR announced that it has joined forces with Nissho Electronics in Japan to address the needs of virtual datacentres and the cloud computing service business in Japan. As part of this enhanced partnership, Nissho has become the first member of the 3PAR Cloud-Agile Program in Japan to offer 3PAR Cloud-Agile: ASSURED disaster recovery services based on 3PAR Remote Copy. As a 3PAR channel partner, Nissho has sold 3PAR Utility Storage, including the 3PAR InServ® Storage Server, in Japan since 2003. With this expanded partnership, Nissho has strengthened its ability to support customers developing cloud-based infrastructures for both internal and external service delivery.
With this new partnership, Nissho adds a disaster recovery (DR) solution to its enhanced service offerings, which currently include public cloud development and a private cloud environment service based on 3cV. “3cV” is a proven blueprint for the virtual datacentre featuring the combination of 3PAR Utility Storage, HP® BladeSystem c-Class Server Blades, and VMware vSphere™. This solution is designed to enable improved server efficiency and to enhance service levels in private cloud datacentres. All the cloud service-focused products that Nissho offers, including those based on 3cV, are available at the company’s CloudNagivate Center, Nissho’s private technology verification centre where customers can verify the operation and performance of a cloud-based infrastructure built on 3PAR technology.
