Vision Solutions, a leading high availability (HA) solution provider in the IBM System i market, has recently been approved as a member of IBM's ISV Advantage Initiative, a program designed to provide independent software vendors (ISVs) with technical and marketing support to help meet the specific information technology needs of small and medium businesses (SMB). Customers seeking solutions to protect their data availability on System i can now more easily integrate necessary hardware, processes, and applications.
ISV Advantage is administered by PartnerWorld, the developer resource for IBM Business Partners. It is a worldwide program designed to help software developers reach broader markets, lower their costs of doing business, and take their products to market faster.
"Market requirements for business continuity and compliance are increasingly driving small and medium companies to implement affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use high availability (HA) solutions. This new partnership between IBM and Vision Solutions will help these customers do exactly that by enhancing our mutual technical and marketing relationships," says Vision Solutions Vice President of Business Development Mads Toubro.
Included in the ISV Advantage Initiative are Vision Solutions' state-of-the-art offerings iTera HA and ORION HA solutions, which provide easy-to-implement, easy-to-use, affordable, and reliable System i mirroring and failover capabilities. Also included is the iTera Vault disaster recovery solution, its Upgrade/Migrate While Active system migration offering, and the iTera Director set of system management tools.
We are pleased that Vision Solutions has committed to IBM as a partner of choice by joining ISV Advantage," said Jim Corgel, general manager, ISV and Developer Relations, IBM. "Collaborating with Vision Solutions will ensure that we develop open solutions that are easy to maintain and cost effective for our customers."
