Glen Forest Consulting Selects the GridApp D2500 Database Appliance as a Foundation for its Database Managed Services Business

Glen Forest Consulting needed a cost-effective, scalable solution for their database managed services business. They wanted a technology that could easily grow to support additional customers without making a large upfront investment. GridApp Systems' D2500 database appliance was the perfect product to meet their needs.

"The D2500 was the best of both worlds," stated President Donald Stahl, "It provided us with a low cost, powerful way to support our customers and the ability to scale when we brought on new accounts. As part of our closing process, we simply notified GridApp, got the appropriate capacity the next day and added it to the appliance."

The D2500 is a powerful solution for managed services providers since it is truly a capacity on demand system. This eliminates the need to accurately forecast sales since resources can be added at will.

"As we grow, we're excited to take advantage of GridApp's PowerShare technology where capacity is automatically allocated to databases based on need. This will enable us to get the most out of our resources and ensure we live up to our customer SLAs. In our business, this equates directly to superior service and higher profitability."
