Connectria Aligns with CCSS to Maintain Peak Performance of Its IBM iSeries Hosting

QSystem Monitor is a fully graphical, networked, real-time performance management tool. All critical areas of performance can be automatically and centrally monitored as well as providing easy-to-use historical summaries, disk analysis reports, cache battery monitoring and user based performance statistics. QMessage Monitor is a centralized solution for IBM i message management, providing complete automation and compliance. The extensive filtering, answering, and escalating of messages helps eliminate the need for manual monitoring across Connectria's customer base.

With Connectria's extensive IBM Power Systems and iSeries presence within the managed hosting market and the quality iSeries system monitoring and message management of CCSS, a partnership is a natural fit.

"Given our high degree of specialization in IBM iSeries environments, we clearly recognize the value CCSS brings to our data centers and customers" said Rich Waidmann, President and CEO, Connectria, Inc. "The CCSS QSM and QMM products enable Connectria to ensure the consistent reliability and performance that our iSeries customers expect."

Ray Wright, CEO of CCSS says, "The partnership with Connectria demonstrates the benefits that our CCSS solutions can bring to large iSeries environments within the outsourcing industry. We're delighted to be working with the team at Connectria and share their commitment to delivering exceptionally high standards of service for their customers."
