MTI Scotland Chosen by Millstream Associates

MTI Technology Ltd, the specialist
cloud infrastructure consultancy, announces a deal with Millstream Associates Ltd,
the Aberdeen-based provider of eProcurement services.

In need of a BC and DR solution to cover its entire UK operation, Millstream
has selected MTI’s team in Edinburgh to design and supply a solution
encompassing both cloud and managed services, for the next three years.

Tim Williams, MD at Millstream, comments: "The services we provide involve the secure delivery of time sensitive
tender documentation for contracts worth many hundreds of millions of pounds.
If a document is delivered late, or not at all, it can cost the contractor many
thousands of pounds in wasted bid costs, cost the taxpayer by not being able to
take advantage of the best bid and given the high stakes is likely to end up in
court. We absolutely have to be able to provide a reliable service that we can
restore immediately even in the event of a major disaster. MTI’s services significantly
enhance our capability to maintain BC and rapid recovery from any disaster."

Ian Parslow, VP of Sales, Europe for MTI, adds: "Explosive data growth, DR and the ability to keep a business up and
running through any disruption are concerns many of our customers have, across
Scotland and the rest of the UK. They are timely tasks that we have found
distract CIOs and IT departments from leading innovation. MTI’s managed and
cloud services are receiving positive traction as a result, as they allow companies’
IT departments to outsource these responsibilities to a hands-on team."

MTI will provide Millstream with:

• A BC and DR solution, which will incorporate both its cloud and managed
  services.
• Further storage capacity with two SANs across two sites: an EMC VNX
  5300 and a CX EMC SAN upgrade.
• DR transfer between the two sites using VMware Site Recovery Manager
