Promotion for transtec RAID Upgrade

transtec Computers Ltd. is launching a trade-in promotional campaign enabling customers who want to upgrade their storage solution to receive a voucher worth up to 2,500 GBP.

This promotion is aimed at users of a transtec PROVIGO 550 Business RAID or similar storage solution from other manufacturers. transtec will offer an upgrade to the more powerful transtec PROVIGO 720 Premium RAID or CCS-VRFC virtualisation packages. The systems are certified for VMware vSphere. The basic version of the transtec PROVIGO 720 is available for just 3,890 GBP if you have a 2,500 GBP redeemable voucher.

Once a service agreement for an existing storage system expires, a new investment for a new system is required. The transtec PROVIGO 720 Premium RAID and CCS-VRFC virtualisation packages are storage systems that are on average twice as fast and at peak load, five times faster than the transtec PROVIGO 550 Business RAID. The flexible and scalable systems can be adapted to growing storage demands without any considerable investment or any modification to the IT architecture. transtec thus ensures a safe return on investment for small and medium-sized companies and reduces the TCO with this trade-in campaign.

transtec storage and virtualisation experts provide advice when planning and integrating the new storage solution. Matthew Prew, Country Manager United Kingdom at transtec, comments: "This offer from transtec provides all customers with the option of upgrading their storage environment to meet the latest technology standards. And, at a price well below the costs of a service extension. Even non-transtec customers and customers without valid maintenance contracts can take advantage of this offer."

Customers can choose between two trade-in models when upgrading: customers will receive a voucher worth 1,750 GBP if they exchange their transtec PROVIGO 550 Business RAID or a similar solution for a transtec PROVIGO 720 Premium RAID or a CCS-VRFC virtualisation package. The new system must be configured with transtec hard drives and the conclusion of a transtec support agreement.

Customers who upgrade their storage solution before the service agreement expires to one of transtecs new storage systems will be rewarded with a voucher worth 2,500 GBP transtec will take on the old service agreement with the same validity period. The hard drives from the old systems can also carry on being used.

The transtec storage upgrade campaign is valid for systems from all manufacturers based on Xyratex OEM models F5402, F5412 and F6412.
