The SAM Club Partners with DH2i to Offer Clients Innovative Container Management Software for SQL Server--A Cost Savings, HA and Consolidation Play

LONDON and FORT COLLINS, Colo., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The SAM Club Limited, a software asset management consultancy, and DH2i™ Company, the leading provider of Microsoft Windows Server application portability and management solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to enable organizations to improve the manageability and cost of Microsoft datacenters.

"As an independent consultancy, we work for our clients – providing valuable, unbiased guidance to suit their specific IT and business requirements," said Ian Nicholls, Independent Licensing & Software Asset Management Consultant, The SAM Club Limited. "With a primary goal of helping our clients achieve more from their IT infrastructure and budget, partnering with DH2i enables us to offer an option for simplicity and freedom from OS sprawl and costly Microsoft licensing."

The SAM Club has joined DH2i's DxAdvantage Partner Program, which offers partners a unique opportunity to close the gap in a market that demands solutions for escalating datacenter cost and complexity. The Program enables shorter sales cycles, enhanced trusted advisor status and the creation of new opportunities for DH2i's partners. Value-added resellers and consultants utilize DxEnterprise to fill gaps in their own product offerings, as well as a means to dramatically improve customer outcomes.

"We're pleased to provide The SAM Club with a new approach to solving modern datacenter challenges for their clients," said Connor Cox, Director of Business Development, DH2i. "DxEnterprise provides diverse benefits that can bring value to virtually any of The SAM Club's clients with SQL Server under management. The goal of the program is to create a channel ecosystem that benefits our partners and their clients from both an IT and business agility standpoint."

DH2i's software, DxEnterprise®, offers workload portability from any host, to any host, anywhere—physical, virtual or cloud—with any mix of current Windows and SQL Server editions. DxEnterprise also makes it possible to achieve near-zero downtime and to protect against infrastructure, OS and SQL Server faults. In addition, customers are able to reduce their OS count by 8 to 15X, reclaim a third of their licenses for future use, and see immediate 25% to 60% SQL Server savings. All of this is on Microsoft Platform Certified software with full license compliance.
