Dell launches storage consulting services

The vendor will offer guidance on backup, restore and disaster recovery issues

Dell has launched new storage consulting services aimed at businesses of all sizes.

Dell's storage alliances manager for global infrastructure consulting services, Stephen Davies, said, "What we're launching today is consulting for tiered storage offerings, backup, restore and stabilisation systems, and also for creating a well-designed disaster recovery plan. We're also offering a managed remote backup service, built on the backup and restore offering."

The new consulting services stem from Dell's acquisition of UK-based The Networked Storage Company last year, and the partnership it formed with GlassHouse Technologies in March.

"Where we think there is a clear advantage is in the lower end corporate accounts and SMB sector, where a lot of people want to do this stuff, but haven't been able to do it properly," Davies said.
