McDATA Corporation (Nasdaq:MCDTA)(Nasdaq:MCDT), a leading provider of
data access solutions, today announced it now offers a comprehensive
service to new and existing customers to upgrade, install and configure
the latest release of Enterprise Fabric Configuration Manger (EFCM) 9.0.
This service is provided at a fixed price, fixed scope engagement for an
entire installation (upgrade) eliminating all hidden costs that may be
associated with a large software implementation.
McDATA’s recently released EFCM 9.0, which is
the industry’s first unified platform for
heterogeneous SAN management. This new service offering is for customers
looking to implement EFCM 9.0 or upgrade to EFCM 9.0 from an earlier
version to ensure a smooth transition and an optimized implementation.
Customers currently using SANavigator or SANvergence can also use this
service to upgrade to EFCM 9.0. When customers request these services,
they will also receive a limited scope SAN Workshop where McDATA will
discuss key findings with the customer, highlighting areas for
improvement and optimization across their entire storage networking
environment.
“Customers, new and existing, who want to take
advantage of this new software can utilize our service and know that the
implementation will be performed to our high standards. EFCM will be
optimized for their specific environment and they will receive the
training needed to maximize their usage of EFCM 9.0 going forward,”
said Costa Hasapopoulos, VP, Solutions and Services for McDATA. “Data
access is a top priority for any IT manager and our new services, in
conjunction with EFCM 9.0, will help make the management of this data
access easier.”
In addition to the SAN Workshop, each installation includes performance
tuning to optimize the use of EFCM 9.0. McDATA will set up users,
groups, provide access control, migrate configuration files from
pervious versions of EFCM, SANvergence or SANavigator. As an added
benefit, an evaluation copy and on-site training by McDATA’s
Consulting Team for the EFCM Advanced Module is also included, an
optional package that delivers real-time and historical performance
monitoring, automated event management, centralized security management,
group configuration support and more.
