"CMA worked closely with us to design and implement a cloud-based solution for our newly restored Power i environment, housed within a reliable Class A data center – far from the hurricane prone Gulf Coast. Running our mission critical applications from a secure cloud has allowed for us to focus on our Windows and network environments."
"It’s simple – we’re saving money and replacing recurring hardware costs by hosting our Power i applications in CMA FastCloud. We didn’t have a Disaster Recovery plan before, but now we do because it’s built into the solution. If something happens to our machine, we can still access our company data and continue to function and serve our customers."
"Our original storage system couldn’t expand anymore, and CMA recommended we upgrade to the IBM Storwize V7000 System. We have such a long-standing relationship with CMA, so we definitely listened to their advice. Now, our storage device has more functionality and flexibility than ever."
"Our system reboots were taking about 30-35 minutes – we didn’t even know that was a problem until CMA reduced our reboot time to about 10 minutes."
"We were able to utilize fewer physical devices in a virtualized environment, which allowed us to manage it within one interface. This generated and maintained a disaster recovery site for business continuity. However, the number one benefit was to have a well-replicated disaster recovery solution."
"Any small business owner knows time is money. CMA helps me devote more time to the business of insurance by hosting my Power i applications. I can now focus my undivided attention on running my insurance business, while they focus on running my technology environment. That’s a huge benefit for my company."
"I’ve been partnering with CMA for over 10 years and I can say with confidence that they’ve been there for me when needed. And with CMA’s new Compass solution, they manage almost every aspect of our IT environment. Now, I can give my business the full attention it deserves."
"Being able to quickly resolve conflicts within our IT infrastructure has increased productivity and cost savings. The cost associated with Compass Managed Services is a mere fraction of the cost that’s associated with a full-time IT personnel. And we can accomplish the same mission for less."
"I’ve been partnering with CMA for over 10 years and I can say with confidence that they’ve been there for me when needed. And with CMA’s new Compass solution, they manage almost every aspect of our IT environment. Now, I can give my business the full attention it deserves."
"There was no way we could handle 121 parish business offices before virtualizing our desktop, but now we can. We’re more streamlined and more efficient – we don’t have to worry about losing their data because we back it all up here every night."
"Nobody complains about performance anymore, and we’ve already reduced the IT staff time required to support client computing by more than 30%."
"The NetApp EF-Series is so fast that we no longer have I/O problems. Now we need faster CPUs in our servers."
"CMA has been instrumental in helping us find the right solution for our needs – over the years they have been very helpful with all of our IBM DS storage installations and designs."
"SPHiNX has really helped improve the speed of our backup operations – there’s almost no comparison to our previous method of using physical tape. SPHiNX makes recovery about 100 times faster, which means less downtime so that I can get people their data almost instantly."
"By giving us an extremely efficient SAN environment for virtual desktops, NetApp All Flash FAS enables us to be more responsive to user requests."
