Bell Microsystems named 'Storage Reseller of the Year' for a third consecutive year
Bell Microsystems has won MicroScope magazine’s 'Storage Reseller of the Year' award, in the publication’s annual awards for excellence in the IT supply channel – the ACEs. The achievement is all the more impressive as Bell Microsystems has won the award each year since it was introduced in 2007.“Winning three years in a row is an amazing endorsement of the Bell Microsystems team and our consistency in working to solve tough data storage issues for our customers,” comments Alastair Bell, Managing Director, Bell Microsystems. “In the current economic climate, customers are looking to cut IT acquisition costs and IT running costs. So, once again, ‘doing more with less’ is the mantra for most IT departments. At the same time, many organisations are trying to react positively to the growing awareness of environmental issues and are looking to cut energy consumption, improve their carbon footprint and help to boost their Corporate Social Responsibility profile.
“Bell Microsystems has responded to these challenges by tailoring its data storage offerings to cover new requirements. Businesses still need to store data, access it and process it – efficiently – in order to deal with their customers and suppliers, capitalise on new business opportunities and control running costs. However, cost and eco-efficiency are key issues that have to be addressed in any new data storage project.
“Over the past year, we’ve continued to develop our data storage team – which helped to ensure that we were able to guide customers on the potential offered by new methodologies and the very latest developments in Solid State Discs, Data Loss Prevention, Open Storage Solutions, iSCSI and 10G networking.
“The fact that this award is based on votes from customers, manufacturers and distributors, makes it all the more important to us. At the same time it’s great to have been short listed for MicroScope’s Environmental Company of the Year award for a second consecutive year. Our portfolio of IT Lifecycle Management Services is recognised for helping customers to cut energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint across their entire IT infrastructure and at every stage in the working life of IT systems.”
As Bell Microsystems holds accreditations from several world-class storage vendors, the company can help its customers to tailor storage solutions that exactly match individual requirements. The company’s Lifecycle Management Services cover all stages in an IT system's lifecycle – from initial consultancy, proof of concepts and the supply of new systems, through to final decommissioning at the end of the system’s working life, including secure data destruction and hardware recycling that fully complies with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive.
