XStore provides consulting, training, installation and support services to customers in Southern and Central Africa in the areas of Data Storage, Network Security and Linux Solutions. These services are provided by means of one-off encounters, projects or ongoing maintenance-style engagements. XStore also facilitates the purchase of IT Equipment in general through a select group of South African vendors.
We work closely with prospective and current customers to continuously evaluate requirements and balance them with new technologies in the ICT area, the focus being on visible business benefit. Our portfolio of services is built around software and hardware offerings from Open Source Software and commercial vendors such as IBM, Novell and Fortinet, adding value to our customers in areas such as platform migration, clustering, systems security and auditing, storage virtualisation and other leading and niche-market technologies.
A note: although we provide consulting and services for a number of commercial vendors/products, we do not officially represent any of these nor provide responsiblity for local support, servicing and product return. |
