Open-E Expands Hardware Certification Program for Partners
Storage software specialist Open-E adds hardware testing to its existing Certification Program and ensures compatibility of supported hardware with Open-E DSS V6.
Marietta, GA, June 23, 2012 --(PR.com)-- When purchasing new hardware and having a particular software in mind you can never be 100% sure if they will be compatible. For this reason leading storage software developer Open-E, Inc. introduced their own Hardware Certification Program. It offers Open-E’s partners the opportunity to guarantee the compatibility of their systems with Open-E Data Storage Software V6 (DSS V6).
Open-E Certified Hardware is suitable for different storage applications. Since the systems include various equipment and configurations, they show an even better performance in specific situations. To help end users making the best possible decision on which hardware to choose, recommendations are provided.
Open-E Tested Hardware is a new quality label offered by the company. Systems have gone through the full process of testing in Open-E’s laboratories. They are usually offered at a lower price and are recommended for only specific areas of usage.
The advantages of the program are obvious: “All systems are fully tested by our experienced and professional technical engineers,” explains Krzysztof Franek, CEO and President of Open-E. “With certified or tested hardware our partners are able to increase their sales potential and become better recognized in the channel. Additionally we are offering end-customers an easy and reliable way to choose the best solution for their storage needs.”
The process is easy: Hardware systems have to meet the minimal requirements and the latest version of Open-E DSS V6 must be installed. Then partners can choose to have all the tests done in the Open-E Labs or perform the tests independently. They include tests of hardware components being detected and recognized by the software or administration functionality and network solutions working properly. The results for performance and stability also have to be on a high level to pass for the certification.
It usually takes no more than 16.5 working days for the engineers to complete a certification or testing process. After successful testing, partners receive a full report including test results and all information about the hardware.
Open-E already certified 15 systems since the second half of 2011. Certifications can be found on http://www.open-e.com/partners/certified-systems/, including the latest tested hardware by Open-E’s Japanese partner Newtech.
