Testing for Data Storage Industry's Latest Backu Software
Percept Technology Labs Offers Testing For Data Storage Industry’s Latest Backup Software
Data Storage Companies Can Streamline ISV Certification Process For New Storage Device Introductions
Boulder, CO, – February 15, 2007 –
Addressing the complex testing and compliance certification requirements for data storage devices, Percept Technology Labs (Boulder, CO) today announced additional testing services for the industry’s latest software. As data storage firms introduce new or enhanced storage systems, their customers demand that these products are compatible with leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) backup packages. However, testing, verifying, documenting and obtaining ISV certification is a cumbersome process, which can potentially delay a product introduction or delivery to an OEM partner. Percept offers a streamlined, cost-effective approach to fully test, verify, optimize, document and obtain final certification of data storage devices for use with major ISV packages and Operating Systems.
Founded in 1996, Percept Technology Labs offers complete product testing services for data storage, information technology equipment and consumer electronics firms introducing new or improved products into the marketplace. In-depth knowledge and extensive experience with all types of data storage systems enables Percept’s testing experts to identify and solve critical problems early in the development process, This saves companies time, money and crucial engineering resources, and keeps product introductions on time and within budget. Percept’s testing and certification expertise takes the headaches out of securing ISV certifications for data storage products.
According to Percept’s president John Mozeliak, “Over the years we have developed a highly effective data storage testing methodology. We are able to run all types of storage devices through the full range of testing needed – from initial engineering concept through final certifications – quickly and objectively. As new Independent Software Vendor backup packages gain popularity, data storage firms are finding it essential to test and certify their products for use with these software packages. Not only does Percept streamline the process of obtaining certifications, we also optimize data storage device performance for use with the most popular ISV packages and Operating Systems. This enables companies to bring their products to market quickly and confidently, knowing they will perform for their customers as expected.”
