Able, Inc. Teams with Xiotech to Expand
Network Storage Solutions

New Partnership Offers Award Winning Data Storage to Arizona Technology Market

(January 19, 2007, Chandler, AZ) – Able Information Technologies, Inc. announced today that they have partnered with Xiotech Corporation to add storage area network (SAN) systems to their end-to-end technology solution set targeted for organizations and companies in the state of Arizona. SAN systems allow centralized control of storage resource allocation for all kinds of data, adding flexibility, scalability and ease of use to data management.

With this partnership Able will resell Xiotech’s Magnitude 3D 3000 series and Magnitude 750 storage systems, providing organizations with the ability to select the storage system and functionality that best meets their business demands. The Xiotech systems provide easy-to-manage, flexible and cost effective storage, while ensuring high data performance and reliability.

“SAN storage expands the possibilities for network integration in new and exciting ways, allowing us to respond to our customers’ needs with innovative solutions,” said Brandon Ames, President and CEO of Able.

As an example, Mr. Ames cited the growing number of video surveillance systems installed in school districts to help deal with concerns about security. With the cameras feeding data directly to a SAN, school administrators have an almost unlimited amount of readily accessible and easily searchable information. “SAN systems take up a lot less space than a year’s worth of video tapes,” said Mr. Ames, “and the data won’t degrade over time.”

Xiotech proposed the VAR opportunity to Able last November. “We were looking for a responsive, qualified, customer-oriented technology company to service our existing customers and help us better reach customers in the Arizona market facing storage management challenges,” stated Ron Quarles, Western Area Channel Manager for Xiotech. “With this partnership, together we'll be able to better reach organizations in this key market and bring them the technology solutions and services their businesses demand.”

Arizona Business Magazine – Ranking Arizona placed Able Information Technologies as sixth in their genre in the largest business opinion poll in Arizona. More than 125 businesses competed in the High Technology category of the Manufacturing/Technology group.

Ranking Arizona is an annual feature of the Arizona Business Magazine summarizing the results of a survey of Arizona’s business professionals. Each category is selected by the staff of the magazine; questions focus on quality of products and services and recommendations for repeat business.

“It’s refreshing to see an award that’s based on the quality of products and services, rather than revenue or number of employees,” said Brandon Ames CEO and Owner. “At Able, we focus on our customers and the way they want to interact and use technology. That sets us apart from our competition.”

Welcome to BlogABLE!

If you’ve checked out our AZeRate blog, you know that the posts there are sometimes rather long and detailed; the focus of the blog is the federal eRate grant program and tips on how to wade through the process and maximize your results. It’s government work – it’s bound to be a bit red-tape-ish.

We have different plans for BlogABLE.

Our goal with BlogABLE is to share insights on new and/or more effective ways to implement technology. We will offer quick tips and direct answers to your questions, along with notes on featured products and upcoming events. We will share stories about things that are happening in the field, and spotlight customers who have achieved great results with new systems.

In short (which is, after all, a preferred trait of blogs), we want BlogABLE to be a reference resource for you, and we encourage your questions and comments. Let us know what you want to see, and we’ll do our best to serve it up.

Come back and see us often!
