Sweating Your Asset
We’ve heard a lot recently about bucking the trend, and sweating your assets, which means better utilising systems that are already in place and spending low extra or marginal costs to exploit better what's been built and spent already.
Netezza is an excellent example of an asset that can be sweated for many years to come. Even though IBM is no longer supporting legacy Netezza appliances, and IT Infrastructure Managers will be gunning to migrate to something that is supported by IBM or another vendor, Smart Associates is helping numerous large companies to keep using that asset with their afterlife support service.
Further Information
IBM is not offering an extended support service any longer for Skimmer, Twinfin, Striper and Mako appliances, but Smart Associates IS. To find out more about how we can help you sweat your asset feel free to contact us here.
