HP

We know HP. We've been working with HP for over twelve years and are authorized at the highest possible level. And we'd like to introduce you to HP on this same level. Several of our employees have even worked for HP. We sell it, service it, know it inside and out. XP, EVA storage, Superdome and Integrity servers, Blades, desktops and laptops, HP software, HP Networking and virtually every HP product- we've got it all covered and can guarantee you'll have it all covered in your organization with our help.

OST is an Elite Partner reseller, with over $40 million in annual HP product sales for the past three years. We're  Hp Elite Certified for: 

  • Business Critical Systems (BCS) Elite
  • Converged Infrastructure Elite
  • Enterprise Storage Elite
  • HP Services Sales Elite
  • Virtualization Solutions Elite
  • Oracle Solutions Elite
  • SAP Solutions Elite
  • BladeSystem – PC & Workstation Elite
  • Healthcare Elite
  • Networking Elite

The only way we could know it better is if we were HP.

IBM

After over fourteen years of selling IBM, we challenge you to come up with an IBM product that we don't know. As a matter of fact, our company president used to work for IBM. We offer IBM Power systems (AIX) and Enterprise-class Storage (currently the DS series). We have a thorough understanding of the IBM approach behind each of their products. If you need an IBM product, we're authorized to not only sell it, but assure you receive the kind of support only OST can offer.

NetApp

We believe NetApp is the best NAS (Network Attached Storage) solution on the planet and feel that we know it about as well as anyone on the planet. We are NetApp Gold certified and have been selling and supporting NetApp storage solutions for years and are authorized nationwide. If you are looking for a superior virtualized storage solution, are evaluating SAN's and would like a comparison, or just want to know more about NetApp - you came to the right place. We'd love to earn a chance at tackling your storage related technical and business issues.

Hitachi Data Systems

We've memorized the skeletal framework of Hitachi's high end storage systems. We understand how it provides the architecture for the HP XP inside and out. Many national enterprises have entrusted us to architect and implement complex HP XP SAN solutions for them. We are also authorized to sell the Hitachi Data Systems version of the XP.

BMC

Basically, we're your one call for BMC systems monitoring. We're proud to be a BMC Premier Partner. We even created an entire practice whose sole purpose in life is BMC systems monitoring. In 2007, BMC selected us out of 60 solution providers across the nation as the go-to partner for BMC (Performance Manager).  We also have expertise in BladeLogic - we were a BladeLogic partner before BMC aquired them a few years back.

VMware

Yes, we know VMware. You might even say it's one of our specialties. We've helped many Fortune 3000 companies use VMware. Whether it's virtualization consultation and implementation or doing an enterprise wide consolidation, we help companies get it and use it smoothly. Your company will be no exception; let our specialty become your advantage.  We are a VMware Premier Partner and are VMware certified in all three partner competencies that are currently offered:

  • Infrastructure Virtualization Certified
  • Desktop Virtualization Certified
  • Business Continuity Certified 

Symantec

OST and Symantec? We have quite the history. Our specialty is implementing Veritas Cluster Server and Veritas Clustered File System, but we also have an in-depth knowledge of many of Symantec's huge portfolio of products. Our long-standing relationship and extensive experience helps us service Symantec products today, which we are authorized to sell and support nationwide.

Oracle

We're proud to be an official Oracle partner for many years. We could write a book on Oracle database and Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC), but we figure we'll stick to helping companies use them instead. We can help with Oracle Apps, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and Oracle's data warehouse, too.

Microsoft

Of course we sell and support many Microsoft products. We have especially deep technical expertise in SQL server consolidation, Microsoft Windows Clustering, and Dynamics AX systems architecture.

Business Alliances

Infor (Baan)

Get the most out of your Baan - that's what we wish for you. And we want to help you do it. Although we're not officially an Infor partner, they caught wind of our skills and regularly subcontract us for the most complex Baan implementations.

OST Partner Companies

Crowe Horwath

OST and Crowe Horwath have been in cahoots for over a decade. Back in the day, we assisted Crowe with technology services for BPCS and Baan. Now we're joining forces again to provide infrastructure sizing, design and implementation services for Microsoft Dynamics AX software installations.

CTG HealthCare Solutions

It doesn't get any better than OST and CTG when it comes to EPIC implementations.    Our combined experience of CTG functional knowledge and OST infrastructure expertise blows away the competition.  In addition to being the best, CTG and OST are fantastic people to work with.
