CTI`s Exclusive AutoBuild Technology Allows Customization
Of Netra(TM) Servers
BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 17 -- Corporate Technologies, Inc.
(CTI), a leading Sun Microsystems(TM) iForce(SM) Regional System Provider, has
launched an on-line store to sell custom-configured Netra(TM) servers from Sun
Microsystems. In conjunction with Sun, the CTI eStore offers customization,
quick delivery and customer service. CTI is one of two Sun(TM) solution
providers in the United States asked to develop an on-line store to sell the
Netra server product line. Sun turned to CTI as part of its overall
commitment to broaden its reach through channel partners.
"We are flattered that Sun has placed their confidence in our application
development and marketing teams to roll out this new store business model,"
said Harry Kasparian, President and CEO, CTI.
Customization Technology
eStore customers will benefit from CTI`s AutoBuild technology, which
allows users to specify a custom hardware and software configuration of their
Netra servers without adding substantial cost or delivery time. Based on its
engineering intellectual property, CTI has defined three optimized server
bundles to meet the most demanded functions: web servers, file servers and
mail servers. The purchaser can provide custom configuration data securely
through the store and the server will be configured accordingly. When the
customer receives their Netra server, it is ready to deploy, right out of the
box.
"The launch will allow us to more widely share with our customers the
expertise and intellectual property of our engineering team which has built
the exclusive AutoBuild technology," said Kasparian. "Delivering
custom-configured Netra servers, bundled with the most popular application
suites, with a commitment for quick delivery creates a huge value add to our
customers and raises the bar in the way configurable systems are delivered."
Quick Delivery
CTI`s eStore provides same day shipping for orders received and processed
by 12:00 noon EST. CTI has also taken steps to maintain an adequate stock
level of the Netra servers offered through its storefront to avoid stock outs,
which are frustrating to customers, yet still very common in the industry.
Customer Service
Customers with questions can speak with CTI store agents to get their
shipping, warranty, and service contract and order status questions answered.
Those needing technical assistance with specific selection, configuration and
deployment questions can get the direct input of CTI`s engineering staff.
"Sun`s goal is to help our iForce(SM) sales partners deliver a
straight-forward, easy-to-use, on-line buying vehicle for Netra rack-optimized
servers," said Peter Basmajian, marketing manager, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
"Corporate Technologies has built an impressive storefront while meeting our
objectives. In addition, by utilizing their Application Development Center,
they have built a high traffic website with a sophisticated back-end for their
customers. This is what separates the winning storefronts with traffic, and
those without."
Potential buyers can find the store at http://www.BuyaSun.com and can
access product images, specs, comparison tables, and white papers to aid them
in making their decision-making. Future enhancements to the store will
include offering the complete Netra product line, corporate purchasing
agreements, maintenance contract tracking and customer access to previous
server configuration profiles.
