Vale Inco
“I can’t state enough the value of the relationship between Third Octet and Vale Inco. We’ve been working with the people on the Third Octet team for the last 5 years on multiple initiatives, one which included a worldwide consolidation of our physical server infrastructure using VMware Enterprise virtualization software. Additionally, we lean on Third Octet for all our Citrix requirements which includes our current XenApp Platinum, NetScaler, and Access Gateway components and the technical requirements surrounding this product portfolio. We have also leveraged Third Octet’s Staffing service for an immediate resource requirement we needed to address in short term. Third Octet, helped pre qualify/interview and ultimately select an IT support resource for one of our mission critical applications, and just as important, a resource who would easily integrate within our organization as if they were our own. Since the introduction of the individual recommended by Third Octet, we have leveraged his capabilities in many areas, some which include application and server virtualization by Citrix and VMware. It’s for many reasons why we have a successful relationship and is why we trust Third Octet as one of our leading value added reseller partners.”

“Developing our relationship with the Third Octet team was extremely satisfying. When approaching Third Octet with our immediate Citrix infrastructure requirements, they not only tackled the initiative effortlessly, but also reviewed the rest of our infrastructure and recommended areas in which we could improve on existing investments and leverage new technologies to further streamline our short and long term objectives – security, storage, virtualization, disaster recovery, mobility. Their proposed strategies always made sense, were extremely cost effective, and allowed our organization to focus on proactive versus reactive measures. Technically strategic and proficient to say the least, and focused not just on solutions, but building relationships where the clients’ business requirements and needs are put first.”

Toronto International Film Festival
“When TIFF. needed assistance reviewing and optimizing our Citrix NetScaler environment during the Film Festival, the Third Octet team responded quickly and professionally. They first ensured that they fully understood our environment and goals before making recommendations that resulted in enhanced experience for visitors to the TIFF. website.”

Larcan
“As a company always looking for ways to minimize our overhead we decided in June 2007 to outsource our IT requirements. A related company within our organization (at the time) recommended Third Octet. We currently use Third Octet for all our IT requirements; as a result, we have significantly reduced our IT expenses by incurring costs only as issues arise, yet have not faced any inconveniences without an IT employee on staff. Joe Peckford and Marc Toste have been fantastic to deal with. They are both very knowledgeable and available at all times via email (Blackberry) to fix any issues as they arise. With their recommendations we were able to stabilize our current IT infrastructure and have been extremely helpful as we look to implement a new ERP solution and offsite backup. With Third Octet we have reduced our IT costs significantly whilst still getting the professional IT service and advice we require to run our business.”

“When we were developing our short and long term IT roadmap, we leveraged the consulting expertise of Third Octet to assist. We needed a method to satisfy our growth requirements and provide global access to our infrastructure in a secure and highly available manner to deliver our business applications as transparent as possible to our mobile workforce and branch offices. The team at Third Octet understood these requirements, and developed an agile and strategic solution to not only fulfill our immediate goals, but goals that were far beyond the initial scope of our roadmap – things that we did not even thoroughly review, such as disaster recovery. Through a robust storage infrastructure from Network Appliance, workload consolidation and virtualization through Citrix XenServer, application delivery with Citrix XenApp, as well as WAN provisioning, Third Octet provided an infrastructure foundation that allows us to easily scale our infrastructure as our organization grows, remain portable to fulfill our disaster recovery and business continuity requirements, effortlessly deploy our applications to any device in any part of the world (even the remotest parts of Africa), and significantly reduce our IT expenditures due to the autonomy of their implemented infrastructure.”
