Today’s blog features a guest post from Larry Shulman, our Business Development Manager.

Last week Memofix Hitech Services Inc. exhibited at the iTech show in Toronto.

Exhibitor products and services ranged from Infrastructure & Data Centre Operations, Storage Innovations & Big Data, Servers & OS, Communications & Connectivity, Security & Risk Management, Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity, Cloud Services & Solutions, Virtualization, Mobile Apps & Hardware and managed IT Services.

Being an “independent” show (not sponsored by a particular manufacturer or distributor) it seemed to attract a nice balance of small to medium business (SMB), and smaller solution / service providers (VAR’s, consultants, resellers). As an exhibitor that provides solutions to both SMB’s and resellers what I found interesting was that those in attendance have the same challenges, obstacles and goals as their larger counterparts (corporations, government etc.) and that both are looking for solutions to support what is becoming a very complex landscape of demands and requirements.

The solutions that Memofix presented: data recovery services, tape and hard disk repair, data destruction services, storage ITAD solutions and cloud back were well received by both SMB and solution providers in attendance. SMB’s seemed to be relieved knowing there is a company that offers these types of recovery solutions when and if needed and solution providers were excited that through Memofix they can add additional “value added services” to their customers.

As a grizzled veteran of the IT industry (over 25 years) as I walked the show floor I am still amazed and in awe at the technology solutions being developed by IT companies including Memofix to support the requirements of both large and small. I have to appreciate our industry for the good work they continue do in support of clients, and trying to stay one step ahead of what the customer needs.

Keep up the good work……
