Promise Technology Announces New ServicePlus On-Site Parts Replacement Program for US and Canada

First I take a stance on how backing up data is a personal responsibility and how Carbonite - a data protection company -- should take the rap for losing its customer's data, then I get comments on the San Francisco Blog about it, and from some high level folks, and now a press release?  Interesting.  It means our blogs matter in the tech world after all.  Here's the release I got on Promise Technology's news about an onsight parts replacement program:








Promise  Announces New ServicePlus On-Site Parts Replacement Program for US and  Canada




  Industry leading support program expands to include on-site component  swap offering



MILPITAS, Calif., April  1, 2009 – Promise Technology Inc., a leading supplier of  sophisticated RAID storage solutions for enterprise and SMB customers,  today announced general availability of the Promise ServicePlus parts  replacement plan for their VTrak enterprise class RAID storage subsystems.  The ServicePlus program is an available upgrade to Promise’s leading  3-Year limited advanced parts replacement warranty. The ServicePlus  plan offers onsite parts replacement 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for  the existing VTrak warranty period.

The Promise ServicePlus Plan  provides for the rapid response and installation of components that  have been identified as being in a fault state. This program provides  storage administrators with the peace of mind that their storage is  protected 24x7 against component failure. Combined with Promise’s  existing 24x7 technical phone support this program is able to significantly  minimize downtime. Average response time for component replacement can  be as little as four hours in most major metropolitan areas.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
