C-Byte Expands Array of Customer Services to Become Single-Point-of-Contact for Linux and Windows

C-Byte, Inc. today reinforced its commitment to customer success, announcing a significant expansion of its services portfolio to address end-to-end enterprise requirements. The newly packaged offerings position C-Byte as a single-point-of-contact for enterprise Linux and Windows services for C-Byte and multi-vendor environments.

C-Byte is leveraging its solid core services to now support multiple environments, including hardware platforms beyond C-Byte systems, critical software applications, such a Citrix Metaframe and a mix of operating systems, including both Linux and Windows. Additionally C-Byte optimized data center availability with 24/7 environmental services and manageability with new remote service offerings. C-Byte is also adding new customized services to tailor solutions for unique business requirements.

The portfolio builds on C-Byte's world-class capabilities in the implementation and management of data center infrastructures to reduce the risk of implementing and maintaining IT solutions, allowing customers to focus more on business objectives. C-Byte Customer Services leverages best-of-breed partners such as Intel, Oracle, MySQL, cPanel, Plesk, Ensim, and Red Hat.

According to research firm Dataquest, the market for U.S. IT services will reach almost $213.6 billion by the year 2008, up from approximately $112 billion in 2004, with a compounded annual growth rate of 13.8 percent. These figures indicate the growing demand for services as companies support strategic business initiatives in the global economy with more users and more data. Responding to this trend, C-Byte's expanded services help its customers achieve the best possible IT solutions through increasing system availability, improving IT manageability, reducing the risk of business interruptions and optimizing the total cost of ownership.

"Customers want a single-point-of-contact solutions provider for their heterogeneous environments," said Trevor Biscope, Chairman of C-Byte. "And, they want continuous availability, high performance and proven procedures to limit the impact of issues that do arise. These are the capabilities we are delivering through C-Byte's new portfolio of Customer Service offerings."

C-Byte customers have continually rated C-Byte's performance as outstanding on critical service quality criteria, including quality of solutions provided, overall ease of doing business with the company, service/support during installation, average time to respond on-site, average time to repair on-site. In fact, more than 20 percent of C-Byte customers say that the quality of C-Byte services is the number one reason they will continue purchasing from C-Byte.
