We felt they were by far the most knowledgeable, not only with the VMware products, but with virtualization techniques and associated technology in general. AccessFlow has subsequently met our high expectations for expertise in both design and implementation."   Jay Bounds, Technology Manager, Fox Head Inc.       “Two years ago, 1800Radiator started franchising.  Initially, growth was slow.  We had time to add infrastructure, build servers, and roll out technology.  Over the last year, franchise growth has skyrocketed.  We have grown to over 120 franchise locations at the rate of three new franchises a week.  Before we knew it, our computer room was out of power, our computer racks were full, our switches ports were all used, and our air conditioning was on continuously.  We could not grow our infrastructure and we needed a solution fast.  Access Flow andVMware came to the rescue.  In one month we virtualized 30 servers, reduced our power consumption by 25%, freed up 25 switch ports, and gave our air conditioning a rest.  I now have a completely scalable and redundant infrastructure.  We can add servers or resources as necessary and we have piece of mind knowing all our applications are completely hardware independent.”   Mike Carvalho, CTO 1800Radiator   Read VMware’s success story on AccessFlow’s work at 1-800-RADIATOR       "AccessFlow was the key success factor in our VMware Virtualization project. From the pre-project planning, to the environment preparation, to the migration of the servers themselves, each step was well thought out and executed. The proprietary utilities and methods AccessFlow brought to the table streamlined the process making it efficient and most effortless. This was one of the few IT projects in my years of experience working with many different vendors that came off smoothly as planned."   Paul Hicks, Director of IT, Eskanos & Adler.   Read the EWeek article featuring AccessFlow’s work at Eskanos & Adler       "Kudos to AccessFlow for their VMware training with our virtualization project with Solano County, We certainly recognize them as a subject matter expert in VMWare."   Scott D. Opalewski, Information Management, Sr. Specialist, ACS, Solano County       "AccessFlow was the key success factor in our VMware Virtualization project. From the pre-project planning, to the environment preparation, to the migration of the servers themselves, each step was well thought out and executed.

Some were more memory intensive, some were CPU-bound. Having this information allowed AccessFlow to create a strategic, comprehensive virtualization solution to meet our needs."   Richard Lewis, Vice President, The Mechanics Bank.       "AccessFlow made it possible for us go forward with the VMware project that would otherwise not have been possible under our current workload and project list. AccessFlow went out of their way to educate our IT Staff, Developers, and Upper Management on the new VMware technology so that we would fill comfortable running some of our most critical Network Services on VMware.  Most importantly, their knowledge and experience with VMware and related technologies made it possible for us to deploy a VMware implementation that meets both current and future needs without mistakes in sizing or configurations.  There is no question in my mind that AccessFlow added superior value to our relationship."   Gino Ochoa, Sr. Network Administrator , Meriwest Credit Union       "By virtualizing our hosting environment, AccessFlow not only saved us a large amount of money up front, but enabled us to provide superior availability to our clients."   Karen Bond, CEO, Cedaron Medical, Inc.       "AccessFlow's virtual infrastructure deployment literally cleared out our data center. We've significantly reduced our capital, electric and management costs while improving performance and recoverability of our applications."   Rick McGhehey Senior VP, Bank of Walnut Creek       "AccessFlow’s VMware consulting services were valuable to us in helping to plan an optimal virtualization strategy."   Gary Smith, Manager of Network Services, California Water Services       “Virtualizing through AccessFlow has saved my 2005/2006 budget and allowed me to implement numerous production and development environments that would not have been possible otherwise.  It gave me much greater control of my IT department and allowed me better flexibility in administering the servers.  Based on these successes, virtualization with VI3 will be a key strategy for 2007."   Bryan Rood, IT Manager, Quantros       "We needed to grow our business fast. AccessFlow designed a server, network and storage virtualization solution that met our two key objectives: keeping datacenter costs low for our internal systems; and enabling us to use the same platform to provide high-quality services to our clients. Thanks Virtual Man!"    Zach Mesel, President, Wooden Spoon Technologies, Inc.       “Everything went very smoothly with our VI3 upgrade.  We were very pleased with the outcome and with the work of AccessFlow”.   Misty Collins, Network Engineer, Degenkolb Engineers       “AccessFlow’s implementation of VMWare for Planned Parenthood: Shasta-Diablo made a large software implementation come in under budget for our non-profit. They were extremely professional and have made themselves available to help troubleshoot non-VMWare issues as a way of proving the VMWare concept. Management of our systems post-implementation has been straightforward and has given us amazing flexibility for moving forward.”   Betsy Ami, IT Manager, Planned Parenthood: Shasta-Diablo       “This week we had our Jump Start with Jason Coleman from AccessFlow.  We had a terrific week.  The instruction was invaluable as Jason was right here in our environment and could address every question or issue as it arose.  We built the two ESX servers on Tuesday and got the Virtual Center installed and working.  Wednesday afternoon we did our first P2V of the S-WI-1 server and it went without a hitch.  This project has shown the highest return in the shortest time of any project I've ever worked on.  I'm very excited about having VMware in our environment and I think it will be an enormous asset to the City.  All in all, I consider this project a great success.”   Marilyn Wilburn, Microcomputer Coordinator, City of Concord       “We value our relationship with AccessFlow. Their execution of planning, implementation, installation, and deployment of VMware technology for our organization was flawless.  I appreciate their project  coordination of everyone involved, and their absolutely incredible personnel.  They are very knowledgeable about the products and deliver excellent services as well.  Thank you so much for providing us with an excellent performance”   Narith Keo, IT Manager, Jan Jose Convention Center       “AccessFlow personnel are thorough and obviously highly knowledgeable about the virtualization technology.  Their professionalism is evident and appreciated while we work on building this solution and transition our infrastructure.  It's comforting to go through this process, and fosters our further consideration of the virtualization solutions offered through AccessFlow.”   Chris Chung, Security & Continuity Architect, VIZMedia       Copyright 2006-2007 Access Flow Inc.
