Press Release - 11/15/2007
Helio Solutions
Officially Changes Its Name to Incentra Solutions
SANTA CLARA, CA, Nov. 15, 2007
–
Helio
Solutions, Inc. announced today that it officially
changed its name. After becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Incentra Solutions in August, 2007, the
company now operates as Incentra Solutions, with offices
in Santa Clara, San Francisco, and San Jose and sales
coverage through the Southwest. As a result of the
acquisition, customers have begun taking advantage of
many new benefits.
“As
part of a bigger organization with an international
footprint, we can deliver a broader portfolio of
products and services to our customers,” says
Incentra Regional President Dave Condensa. “Our
focus has always been to help customers build more
efficient and available IT infrastructures – now we
can actually manage it for them through our Network
Operations Center (NOC) in Boulder. We can also
provide remote monitoring and managed services such
as GridWorks, First Call services for managing
maintenance contracts on multi-vendor product lines,
and professional services for assessing, designing
and implementing technology solutions across
platforms. In addition, we have raised the status
level with each of our most strategic partners
including Sun Microsystems (Executive), Cisco
(Gold), Microsoft, HP, Network Appliance, Juniper
(Gold) and VMware.”
Since Helio Solutions was founded in 2001, the
company has differentiated itself from other systems
integrators by going beyond the technology sale and
offering flexible services around asset lifecycle
management, and custom configuration and integration
at its 25,000 square foot, state-of-the-art
integration facility. Incentra will continue its
focus to help customers save money by increasing
utilization of existing technology (now on an even
bigger scale), and recommending new technology when
needed.
Mr.
Condensa adds, “More than 90 percent of our existing
customer base has expressed pain points around storage
management, data protection and back-up services. Based
on our deep bench of highly skilled systems engineers
coupled with our new comprehensive service offering, we
are extremely well positioned to provide end-to-end
solutions in the areas of virtualization, server and
storage consolidation, disaster recovery and storage
management. There isn’t another solution provider out
there that has the tools, methodology, engineering
talent, technical expertise, operational expertise or
managed service offering to address these IT challenges.
”
In just
three months, Incentra has begun converting
approximately 75 percent of its customer base with
service contracts to some level of First Call. The
company is now building its managed services sales team
in the Northern California regional office and plans to
roll-out its GridWorks remote monitoring and managed
services in the coming weeks. Recent
Certifications and Awards

implement and operate Cisco networking solutions.
