CreekPath Systems Offers Storage Utilization Assessment Service to Federal, State and Local Government Agencies and Organizations.

BOULDER, Colo. -- New Service Helps Large, Public Sector IT Organizations Assess Compliance of Service-Level Agreements

CreekPath Systems, the leader in analyzing, optimizing and managing sophisticated enterprise storage environments, today announced a new storage utilization assessment service for federal, state and local government agencies and organizations.

The new service will enable government CIO's and IT departments to assess exact storage capacity in their enterprise datacenters and then determine if those storage assets are deployed optimally.

Many public sector enterprises, including local, state and federal governments outsource storage through third-party datacenters with which they maintain service level agreements on price, performance and availability. But, few enterprises have the tools to monitor those storage SLAs and ensure their compliance. CreekPath's new service will offer detailed compliance information on these agreements, as well as an overall assessment of an enterprise's entire storage investment.

"Most CIO's and IT leaders can assess the performance of most business critical systems and easily ensure SLA compliance, but few have the ability to assess their storage system performance and utilization," said Michael Koclanes, chief technology officer and founder of CreekPath. "The idea of under-utilizing any IT asset would seem counter-intuitive, but many large enterprises have limited visibility into optimizing their storage allocation, so this service is designed to give them that."

The service will be available to local, state and federal government agencies and organizations immediately. This offering comes on the heels of a similar program that with which CreekPath has had success in the commercial sector. Storage audits and compliance have gained considerable momentum since the advent of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other legislation mandating retention of significant corporate information.
