FileTek and Sapiex Sign Partnership Agreement to Benefit SAP Customer Base11 May 2005
FileTek, Inc., a data storage and access management systems provider, today announced a partnership agreement with Sapiex, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, which offers strategic architectural planning and integration consulting services specializing in SAP applications. Sapiex consultants have previously worked with FileTek to successfully implement FileTek's StorHouse(R) product in a customer environment.
Under the partnership agreement, Sapiex joins a growing group of firms that provide FileTek with business development support and SAP Business Intelligence (SAP BI) consulting services. Furthermore, FileTek will be able to consult with Sapiex on SAP customer requirements for near-line and archive storage access in environments where StorHouse is proposed.
"By partnering with an SAP service provider such as Sapiex, FileTek demonstrates a firm commitment to enhancing its value proposition for SAP BI customers with large data storage needs," said Chuck Whinney, FileTek's Vice President for North American Sales. "Sapiex is an innovative and proven leader in SAP BI deployments with experience in archiving and near-line storage architectures. I am confident our partnering agreement will create exciting business opportunities for both companies."
"From our previous experience working with FileTek, Sapiex is well aware of the strategic value and unrivaled performance of StorHouse products in helping to aggressively and safely manage one of the most challenging aspects of SAP BI implementations - the exponential growth of data and its impact on system manageability and performance. Now, as a result of this partnership, we can offer our clients a unique and proven technology for managing their ever-growing amounts of data," commented George Loveless, President of Sapiex. "FileTek's many years of experience in the data management market space combined with Sapiex's expertise in SAP and Business Intelligence will yield enhanced operations and cost-effective results for our customers."
FileTek's StorHouse is a comprehensive data and access management system specifically designed to administer massive amounts of structured and unstructured fixed content, historical data, and their associated backups. It combines industry-leading, scalable storage devices and Open System processors (Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX) with specialized storage management, relational database management, and file system interface software components. StorHouse functionality includes the capability to seamlessly integrate with and extend industry-leading solutions such as SAP Business Intelligence and databases such as Oracle, IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB), and Microsoft SQL Server onto a comprehensive virtual hierarchy of storage devices such as RAID, massive arrays of idle disks (MAID), and tape. By storing historical and aged SAP BI data on StorHouse, SAP BI users experience enhanced load and query performance for current data; shortened SAP BI backup windows; overall lower total cost of data ownership; greater data protection; higher data availability; and faster, more direct access to aged data.
