CommitCRM, an easy-to-use and comprehensive PSA, and GFI MAX, a hosted remote management and monitoring (RMM) and antivirus software, were both specifically designed to automate and expedite the entire workflow of IT Support companies and MSPs.

GFI and Commit partnered in order to empower their users and provide IT support companies and MSPs with a powerful end-to-end solution to manage their entire IT workflow, from monitoring customers devices to automating service ticket management, and streamlining resolution and billing activities.

The new CommitCRM-GFI MAX direct integration helps mutual users monitor and oversee all of their customers devices across both systems as a unified solution from from which they manage customer details, billing agreements and charges for invoicing. The integration gives MSPs the power to sync GFI MAX Site and Device information with CommitCRM Accounts and Assets in real time, saving them time and reducing duplicate and data entry errors. Also, GFI MAX monitoring events are automatically synced with CommitCRM, so, when GFI MAX reports failed checks, new tickets are automatically generated in CommitCRM.

By consolidating all operations related to service tickets and RMM events into an integrated solution, MSPs are able to save time, increase their efficiency and become more competitive, said Maayan Porat, CEO of Commit Business Solutions. With the CommitCRM-GFI MAX integration, we are able to provide to IT professionals with an affordable and simple way to provide customers with prompt and meticulous service, he added.

QualityStocks News - Data Storage Completes Phase I, II of Waltham Data Center Facility

Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

QualityStocks would like to highlight Data Storage Corporation, a publicly traded company providing cloud storage and cloud computing, focused on data protection, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions that assist organizations in protecting their data, minimize downtime, ensure regulatory compliance, and recover and restore data quickly. The companys solutions include: data backup and storage, replication; high availability data replication services; email archive and compliance solutions for e-discovery; continuous data protection; data de-duplication; virtualized system recovery; and telecom recovery services.

In the companys news yesterday,

Data Storage announced it has completed the first two phases of its three-phased expansion plan for its Waltham data center facility.

The company says the phase 1 and 2 completions more than triple the companys existing footprint with the additional installation of IBMs iSeries High Availability and Disaster Recovery server hardware and the new IBM iSeries Hosted Cloud solution.

In addition to the added High Availability and Disaster Recovery capacity upgrades, the expansion also greatly increases the companys cloud-based offsite storage and data vaulting capabilities, which opens the door for opportunities within highly regulated industries such as finance and healthcare, where the need for storage on physical media is often inadequate, and exposes media to loss, theft, and degradation.

Demand for our hosted solution offerings, especially in HA and DR services geared towards SMB customers, has grown significantly over the past year, Matthew Grosso, executive vice president and CTO at Data Storage stated in the press release. The completion of our phase 1 & 2 expansion in Waltham is just another step in our multi-year roadmap as we plan to meet greater demands for our High Availability and Disaster Recovery services. These expansions will enable us to roll out additional cloud services over the coming months.

BBH Solutions, Inc. Completes SOC 2 Type I Report for Confidentiality and Security

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 31, 2012

BBH Solutions, Inc., a leading New York City provider of converged network and cloud computing solutions, is pleased to announce they have successfully completed a SOC 2 (Service Organization Control) Type I report relevant to confidentiality and security.
