“The storage needs of businesses and governments are increasing daily as organizations try to meet the demand of retention and compliance,” Myers said. “We strive to find and partner with the best of breed technology solution providers enabling us to offer solutions to our clients that meet and exceed their needs.”

The partnership will provide The James Group’s clients with base flexible and affordable storage at a time when businesses and government agencies are being called upon to securely retain large amounts of data. 

“Not only does Pillar provide a valuable solution, but Pillar allows organizations to grow as their storage needs increase.” Leahy said.

The James Group’s partnership with Pillar Data Systems follows a host of other partnerships the company has established to better serve its clients. Those include: Oracle; Microsoft; Hyland Software; Dell; Hewlett Packard; Anydoc; VMware; Stor Serve and Microsolved, Inc.

Oracle’s primary focus is 100% customer and partner satisfaction. They plan to make the combining of the two companies as seamless as possible for everyone, and to deliver added and immediate value. Oracle’s commitment to middleware and the success of existing middleware customers is reflected in its comprehensive portfolio of products, adoption of standards, and the customer’s ability to run, secure, adapt, and expand their businesses with the world’s fastest growing family of middleware products.

Together, Oracle and BEA plan to provide a complementary, best-in-class middleware portfolio that spans Java Application Servers, transaction processing monitors, SOA, business process management, user interaction and Web 2.0, identity management, business intelligence, and Enterprise Content Management.
