Oriel and APC are offering a FREE* APC Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) Health Check

How reliable is your physical IT infrastructure? With so much focus on high availability servers, SAN's and solution redundancy it is easy to forget components such as power, power distribution, racks, cabling, cooling, security and environmental monitoring can greatly impact business operations and future expansion projects if they are faulty or not adequately provisioned.

APC's NCPI Health Check reviews all these components and provides you with an assessment of your current physical IT environment including any potential vulnerability points and recommendations to rectify them.

EMC VisualSRM software enables centralised storage resource management (SRM) for multi-vendor, mid-tier storage environments.

The following information is captured from the nominated storage host servers over a 24 hour period:

Capacity and utilisation

It has been re-designed and re-branded, incorporating the valuable feedback and requests from our customers.

With even more improvements on the way, ORIZON will continue to offer a comprehensive and feature-rich solution as part of the Oriel Managed Services offering.

25 May 2008 – Oriel elevated to HP Premier Business Partner, the highest accolade a HP Channel Partner can receive.

This was awarded in recognition of Oriel attaining HP Business Systems and Storage specialisations. Oriel has made, and continues to make, significant investments in training, certification and accreditation to ensure we always provide our customers with high quality, innovative solutions.

20 February 2008 – Wyse Technology, awards Oriel as the 2007 “Up and Coming Reseller”

Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, recognised Oriel as the 2007 “Up and Coming Reseller” in January for innovations in the industry’s hottest area: VDI.

As Ward Nash of WYSE states, ‘the annual award acknowledges Oriel’s winning approach to VDI, which included extending their existing VMware Lab to incorporate VDI Solutions in addition to deploying a VDI solution internally.’

“Oriel is unique in one big way: they focus on VDI,” he says. “Not only can they clearly explain the difference between server consolidation and the virtual desktop… but they can also invite you in to see VDI ‘alive’ in the lab and can substantiate what they’re talking about from their own experience.”

Oriel’s Practice Manager, Rodney Haywood says the award affirmed the hard work we’ve done with our vendors to really implement best practices into our customer base. “We work with Wyse on VDI because they are best practice in thin computing... It’s great to be recognised by them for being best-practice in what we do, too.”

13 December 2007 – Oriel receives Avnet’s Solutions Partner of the Year Award

Avnet have distinguished Oriel as the integrator that best utilises a wide range of technologies to provide complete solutions for its clients.

"The solutions partner of the year award, is an award that honours innovation, excellence and a commitment to drive solution sales. Oriel Technologies is an organization that exemplifies the before mentioned, as well doing all this with a great deal of integrity. Avnet is proud to be associated with Oriel, and we look forward to being part of their continued success. Congratulations to the Oriel team in taking out this award for 2007," said Gavin Lawless, General Manager of Avnet Technology Solutions Australia.

26 November 2007 – Oriel launches VDI Solutions Lab

In consultation with VMware, Wyse, HP, ThinPrint and AppSense Oriel has built a VDI solutions lab at its Sydney offices. “VDI is a solution, not a product” said Rodney Haywood, VMware Practice Manager at Oriel.

“Organisations interested in VDI need to investigate and view many different technologies from multiple vendors as they consider the implementation of VDI. The solution centre integrates all of the relevant technologies in the one place, according to each vendors best practice. Many integration issues were worked on jointly by the Oriel and Vendor system engineers to deliver a complete and unified reference implementation.”

Oriel’s flatulent cow continues to turn heads!

Our emissions campaign “Ain’t that the Truth” continues to gain momentum and international press. Amongst the latest, Windows IT Pro – a leading US site, humorously states our campaign “… serves as the inspiration for a hilarious flash animation that spells out the real benefits of using server virtualization, which you can view in its gaseous entirety on the Ain't That the Truth Web site.”

Whilst the US Information Week Blog notes, “Frankly, if Oriel's creativity is representative of international channel partners, I can understand VMware's recent push to expand and support the channel.”
