Ecosystem Consisting of Industry-Leading Software, Hardware
and Service Providers
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Storage Networking World) April 16,
2007 - Coast Solutions Group (CSG) and NEC Corporation of America
(NEC) announced today that NEC has selected CSG to deploy
NEC server and storage professional service solutions. CSG joins
NEC's partner ecosystem that delivers expanded, end-to-end server
and storage solutions, as well as software, manufacturing and
visual solutions.
"NEC chose CSG to coordinate the deployment of our server
and storage professional service solutions because the CSG-managed
solution provider network offers technologically-diverse and geographically-dispersed
capabilities," said Matthew Wolken, Vice President of Fault
Tolerant Servers and Enterprise Storage, NEC Corporation of America.
"CSG not only helps identify qualified technical resources
but also provides statement-of-work and project management services.
These capabilities offered by CSG will help us deploy our server
and storage solutions in almost any major industry within the
United States."
Collaborating with leading-edge software, hardware and service
providers like CSG is a key component to creating integrated solutions
for NEC customers. NEC partners represent a breadth of industries
that further strengthen the reliability of NEC solutions.
"We created 20 different packaged server and storage deployment
services that all NEC solution providers and customers can now
tap into," said CSG President Paul Freeman. "For custom
deployments, our solution architects will create a customized
statement-of-work. We then access local, qualified technical resources
to deploy the solutions leveraging our network of service provider
partners. This approach provides NEC with a central point of contact
for service scoping and delivery that creates consistency and
enables their resellers to quickly go to market with hardware,
software and professional services that carry the NEC brand."
CSG will provide services as part of the NEC storage program
that offers disk storage systems engineered for businesses of
all sizes, ranging from entry-level modular products through high-end
enterprise systems. CSG will also provide services within the
NEC server program that offers NEC's award-winning Express5800
