Monday 8th April 2013 Sydney, Australia. Fast-growing business solutions provider E-Bit Systems announced recently the acquisition of Providence Solutions Australia, the division of an Asia-Pacific specialist distributor in the niche field of fault tolerance, data protection and disaster prevention. The move is intended to broaden E-Bit Systems’ service offering in ANZ to become a high-value solution provider of the world’s first software based, fault-tolerant technology for mission critical applications that can simply never be down.
Providence Solutions Australia, now officially a division of E-Bit Systems, will continue to deliver solutions for the full spectrum of application availability through continuous computing ranging from fault tolerance to high-availability as well as backup solutions and disaster recovery for business continuity. Its innovative solutions are currently delivered to some of Australia’s most demanding organisations, in sectors including defense, security, manufacturing, oil and gas, telecommunications, broadcasting, financial services and logistics.
Already well-known for its strategic business IT solutions, including CIO advisory and private cloud services, the acquisition enhances E-Bit Systems’ total service offering for its corporate client base. E-Bit Systems will now be able to draw on the Providence Solutions fault tolerant offering and provide:
- Failure prevention – a completely resilient application environment that proactively prevents server outages by monitoring and synchronising all components, from network and storage to CPU and memory; and automatically redirecting I/O from failed devices to redundant devices.
- Low cost single unified solution – real-time monitoring of all components, automatic synchronization of data, and proactive correction of problems across the entire application environment with a software solution flexible to fit with any network and storage topology and deployed on commodity hardware.
E-Bit Systems’ Managing Director, Atul Thapar said: “The acquisition brings to market affordable solutions that proactively prevent application and server downtime, eliminate data loss and provide peace of mind. They empower businesses to meet the demands of today’s 24/7 world for messaging, security systems, building automation, traffic control systems, environment monitoring, ticketing and many such critical applications that require uptime, all the time.”
E-Bit Systems will continue to operate from its offices in northwest Sydney also shared by Providence Solutions Australia. While the businesses will maintain separate identities, they will be operated seamlessly providing E-Bit Systems’ clients a consistent and holistic service offering. –ENDS
