Kelser to Enhance HP Partnership

Kelser Corporation, an Elite Business Partner of Hewlett-Packard, announced augmentations to their storage solutions portfolio and educational offerings.

Storage providers strive to solve both the proliferation of data and the increasing business needs arising from usage of that data. This year, Kelser will leverage its relationship with HP and other vendors to provide education, consulting, and ultimately, solutions to its clients to meet their challenging storage requirements.

The industry has seen widespread change in storage requirements in the last 3-5 years. Regulations, usage of data, natural disasters, security risks, and the increasing amount of data have transformed the industry and will continue to do so. This creates an ever present need in storage and a challenge for CIOs and IT executives.

Over the last 30 years, Kelser Corporation, headquartered in East Hartford, CT, has developed an understanding about the evolution of data storage and usage. The corporation acquired its knowledge through connections with clients in insurance and financial services, industries that rely on data access and reliability. This expertise has always been applied to existing client base. Now, the company’s initiatives aim to transmit this information outside of the client base to provide education and consultative services and solutions.

The company will conduct informational events and training seminars, release white papers and case studies, and provide consultation to expand clients’ knowledge base.

The initiative kicks off on January 25, 2012 with an event centered on the virtualization of Tier 1 Applications in 3PAR infrastructure. Kelser’s Technology Solutions Executive, Jonathan Stone, as well as VMware and HP (3PAR) experts are the featured speakers. A second event on February 21, 2012 will explore disk based backup and data deduplication best practices.

Kelser partners with many of leaders to discover the best storage solutions for their clients, many of which come from HP technologies.

Stone related: "The depth and breadth of the HP storage line is most impressive, especially in the 3PAR and D2D lines. We are able to meet the storage and backup needs of any of our clients, from small, two server environments up to large enterprise infrastructure."

Finding a solution provider with both the needed expertise and the supporting certifications is for IT executive seeking an answer to their storage needs. Kelser holds authorizations for HP as a US Enterprise Storage Specialist, US HP Storage P9000 Authorization, and US Virtualization Specialist. Extensive training and practical experience within each authorization level are required, and continuation of requirements is upheld yearly. These qualifications allow Kelser to impart knowledge and implement solutions to their clients.
