Leading Storage-Focused VAR Updates Website With New Introductory Video
TAMPA, March 18 2013 – Southern Data Storage, a Tampa-based company focused on data storage, backup and disaster recovery solutions for small & medium enterprises and state & local government entities, has announced the successful completion of its first full year of operation.
Mark Hall, President of Southern Data Storage, said: “Although the paperwork to start the business was filed in January 2012, active engagement with prospective customers did not begin until March, so we see March 2013 as out first anniversary.”
The Portfolio
“Southern Data Storage was started with a simple idea in mind,” said Mr. Hall, “and I am very gratified that our clients have validated that idea.” The strategy is to offer a select portfolio of storage, backup and DR solutions that meet three very specific criteria:
- Best-of breed features and performance
- Market-leading value and total cost of ownership
- A great customer experience in both technical support and in day-to-day business dealings
Completing the strategy, Southern Data Storage envelopes the portfolio with an unusually high-touch approach to client relationships. “You’d be surprised how many potential portfolio partners were vetted; 90% of them didn’t make the cut,” said Mr. Hall. The current list includes solutions from nine vendors: NexGen Storage, Unitrends, Gridstore, PHD Virtual, ExaGrid, Nimble Storage, Fusion-io, Nasuni and Veeam.
Armed with this portfolio, in its first year Southern Data Storage customer engagements included law firms, media companies, major utilities, city governments and at least one Florida state government entity.
New Video
“Since video is rapidly becoming the standard method of succinctly conveying information on the Web, we recognized the need for an intro video for prospective customers,” said Mr. Hall. “Our first anniversary announcement is a great way to also announce this new resource on the SDS website.” The new video can be seen on the SDS home page at http://www.southerndatastorage.com/.
