ASEMPRA ADDS TOP IBM IT SOLUTIONS PROVIDER TO ITS PARTNER NETWORK
Lighthouse Computer Services Adds to its Award-Winning Business Offerings
Santa Clara, Calif. (September 24, 2008) –
Asempra Technologies, the leading provider of instant recovery
solutions for Windows applications and data, today announced an
expansion of its network of partners for the company’s
Business Continuity Server™ with the addition of Lighthouse
Computer Services of Lincoln, RI.
Lighthouse is one of IBM’s top business partners in the
Northeast, with more than 12 years of experience helping businesses
design and implement fully-leveraged data storage solutions. It
offers a full range of storage services, including backup and

planning. Earlier this, year the company was selected as one of only
six 2008 IBM Business Partner Excellence Award winners for North

“Asempra’s Business Continuity Server is a powerful
enhancement to our disaster recovery and business continuity
services,” said Tom Mrva, Chief Executive Officer of
Lighthouse Computer Services. “Our customer storage assessments
recommend a DR/BC plan, and with Asempra we can now offer an
unmatched solution that ensures that key business applications
and data are instantly available after an outage while a full
data restore takes place quickly in the background. And, the
BCS addresses these requirements at a cost that is affordable
for any size business.”
“If we had drawn up the ideal partner profile it could not be more
perfect and synergistic for Asempra than Lighthouse Computer Services,”
said Gary Gysin, President and Chief Executive Office at Asempra. “Their
outstanding record of delivering high-value storage solutions and their
proven expertise in recovery and business continuity make Lighthouse the
ideal Asempra partner. For a leading solutions provider that already has
a strong business continuity practice, the added value of instant
application and data recovery enabled by the Business Continuity Server
will prove to be an outstanding asset in building their business.”
