(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud storage provider IceWEB announced on Thursday that it has launched what it calls the “IceTIME Guarantee” that promises customers a setup time of five minutes or less for any of its unified data storage appliances.
IceWEB says it can take hours to setup similar systems provided by larger vendors, but it is guaranteeing its customers can set up its data storage appliances in less than five minutes. To support its claim, IceWEb is sending a Netbook laptop preconfigured with IceWEB’s setup wizard with every order at no additional cost.
“The benefits of cloud computing and virtualization should not come at a cost of unnecessary added complexity in the data center,” Steven Toole, IceWEB chief marketing officer. “So with our IceTIME Guarantee, we’re taking the ‘stall’ out of ‘installation’. We’re firmly committed to providing the absolute fastest and easiest set up time for small to medium sized organizations deploying unified storage appliances. With the free NetBook, implementing one of our award-winning unified appliances is as fast and easy as installing a printer – and there isn’t a single network admin on the planet who can’t do that.”
Toole was named chief marketing officer earlier this month, and it appears that this is the first marketing campaign under his lead.
Under the terms of the guarantee, if customers can’t implement IceWEB’s appliances using the Netbook computer, they are able to return the system within seven days for a full refund and keep the Netbook.
IceWEB’s data storage appliances optimize file and block data storage utilization in cloud and virtual environments. The appliances provide a standardized platform for cloud and virtualization deployments and optimize storage resources already deployed by customers.
