Maximum Availability, a global leader in IBM System i high availability software, today announced its partnership with Network Services Plus, Inc. (NSPI), a leading provider of technology services, based in Atlanta suburb Roswell, Ga. The agreement establishes NSPI as a key sales, implementation and support partner in the U.S.

"Our partnership with Maximum Availability addresses a critical need for high availability/business continuity solutions in today's business environment," explains Tim Roe, director Sales and Marketing for NSPI. "Because the *noMAX model is flexible and supports SaaS, we will be able to provide customers with much more of a refined HA/BC service, tailored to their needs."

The collaboration also allows Maximum Availability to exploit NSPI's remote IBM System i hosting capabilities, providing customers with access to the *noMAX HA/BC solutions on a Software-as-a-Service basis.

"As we couple the *noMAX SaaS product with our IBM System i hosting practice, our expectation is that we'll provide a turnkey HA solution for our iSeries customers that doesn't exist today," continued Roe. "Some customers want their own dedicated environment, so we'll certainly provide that, either at their location or in our data center, while others are open to more of a shared resource environment."

NSPI's position as an established provider of HA/BC expertise to small and mid-size businesses, as well as large enterprise clients throughout the U.S. made them a logical choice for this partnership.

"We see NSPI as a key partner in the U.S., not just in the southeast," stated Simon O'Sullivan, senior vice president of Maximum Availability.

"This partnership positions NSPI quite uniquely as both a reseller of the stand-alone *noMAX product and our SaaS product," concluded O'Sullivan. "They have an impressive data center in Atlanta and staff that are already fully certified on *noMAX and the System i, so we're hitting the ground running."
