OuterBay Technologies Elevated to Oracle CSP

OuterBay LiveArchive continuously archives application data to eliminate Data Cholesterol, the excess historical data that chokes application performance and increases operating costs. OuterBay's LiveArchive solutions save customers up to millions of dollars per year by reducing storage and server upgrade costs, minimizing downtime for upgrades and maintenance, at the same time providing users easy access to historical data.

Rich Butterfield, Chief Executive Officer of OuterBay Technologies said, "Achieving Oracle Certified Solution Partner status endorses our commitment to bringing our clients the latest Oracle-based solutions. CSP gives us the latest technical support and training, enabling us to bring additional value to our customers and their enterprise computing requirements."

Oracle Certified Solution Partners (CSP) receive increased benefits and services in areas such as technical support, marketing, and sales services from Oracle. Furthermore, CSP members are eligible for the Oracle Partner Program (OPP) E-Business Suite Track, and associated consulting benefits. CSP members gain access to other Oracle partners and customers through lead generation activities, and to Oracle field sales support.

"As our customers make the transition to E-Business and extend their enterprise applications to more direct interaction with their customers and suppliers, data growth is accelerating at an alarming rate," said Butterfield. "Left unchecked, this growth will drive down performance and drive up operating costs. OuterBay's LiveArchive gives IT managers a ready-made solution to control data growth, reduce costs, stabilize performance, and still provide easy access to historical data. Our new Certified Solution Partner relationship with Oracle will help ensure that our LiveArchive products will provide our customers the most value in this E-Business transition."
