Business Focus and Technical Excellence

EMC

EMC makes the world's most reliable enterprise storage systems and is the market leader in this space. EMC storage is used to store the business critical information of more than 90% of "Global 2000" and US "Fortune 1000" corporations. EMC data replication software has saved so many businesses, quite literally, from disaster that it's been dubbed the "gold standard" in business continuance.

Data Engines | ENSTOR is an EMC Velocity Partner and an EMC Authorised Services Network (ASN) Partner, certified to implement EMC storage solutions and integrate them with existing IT infrastructure.

Sun Microsystems

Sun Microsystems' automated tape libraries set the standard for large-scale tape storage systems, and the company is the market leader in this category by a large margin. Sun Microsystems' libraries are often chosen for reasons of scalability, upgradability, reliability and "mainframe-class" post-sales support.

Data Engines | ENSTOR is a StorageTek Direct Value-Added Reseller (DVAR).

LEGATO

LEGATO is the leading vendor of software to capture, manage and access "fixed content" data - email archives, document images, medical records etc. LEGATO is also a market leader in the tape backup, replication and application availability software markets.

Data Engines | ENSTOR has the two highest levels of VERITAS accreditation: Elite Partner and Technical Support Program Partner (TSPP). TSPP status means that Data Engines | ENSTOR has been accredited to offer post-implementation technical support for VERITAS products, in addition to solution design and implementation services.

VMware

VMware virtualisation software for Intel-based platforms enables major operational efficiency gains and cost savings across development, test and production systems. VMware-based server consolidation is increasingly being implemented together with SAN-based storage consolidation as best-practice infrastructure design.

Data Engines | ENSTOR is a VMware Enterprise Partner (Partner ID: 1256648 Storage Dynamics Pty Ltd). We have been a VMware partner since the vendor first commenced operations in Australia in 2002, and prior to that our engineers were testing the software and collaborating directly with key VMware developers in the formative days of the ESX kernel. Many of the current VMware high availability features were approximated by our engineers in previous product versions using internally developed software tools and patches, and we continue to push the technology into new areas of use where customers’ needs demand it.

We have performed in excess of 50 VMware deployments, optimisations and upgrades with many clients including; QBE Insurance, Toyota Finance, State Street Bank, Telstra, Munich Reinsurance, Pulse International and St George Bank. Many of these are clients that will happily vouch for the quality of our engineering services and depth of product knowledge.

For the last 4 years Data Engines | ENSTOR have also provided independent, un-certified VMware training boot camps aimed at helping technical professionals administer VMware and take advantage of its advanced functionality.
