Disaster recovery testimonials

"To me, the best accolades for having Platform Lab came from the guys on my team who used your facilities. Before the first test, I gathered that they had some doubts about what they could accomplish and learn and what Platform Lab could provide them." After they completed that first week of testing, the Unix and Windows administrators returned with tremendous praise about what they had available to them and what they learned. They found that many of the assumptions we had made in our plans were laid open to raw reality and just plain didn't work.

"The facilities at Platform Lab gave us the ability to test, rethink, and retest without the incessant time pressure that'll be on us during a 48-hour test at our contracted disaster recovery vendor."
--Dave Nagy, Senior Director, Abercrombie and Fitch

"We have a request of an urgent nature…we are looking at a vendor, but we are concerned that we are their largest customer, and so we need to do a scalability and performance test…..we would need a bunch of hardware and some storage…and see how their product responds…we are looking have the test completed by the middle of next month…

...I wanted to thank you for the great time that we had at your facility….it was a real help to our business. I can’t believe how inexpensive it was and the how great the resources were that you lined up for us; it was a real success in every way imaginable."
--Rick Hinman, VP - Server Infrastructure, Erie Insurance Group


Load testing testimonials

"We found Platform Lab to be the best alternative for our load testing needs. We were able to conduct our tests quickly and at a minimal cost. The engineers at the lab were very helpful in getting our configuration set up to our specifications and in making sure that any issues that we ran into were resolved quickly. We definitely plan to use Platform Lab in the future for our testing needs."
--Chris Berk, Managing Director of Technology, Ten/Resource

"Platform Lab has made it easy for us to extend and enhance our service offerings to our clients. With the availability of flexible, powerful and full-featured system configurations, Infinis is better able to provide a full range of performance management functions - faster and more affordably."
--Bill Banze, Project Manager, Infinis, Inc.

"We have a request of an urgent nature…we are looking at a vendor, but we are concerned that we are their largest customer, and so we need to do a scalability and performance test…..we would need a bunch of hardware and some storage…and see how their product responds…we are looking have the test completed by the middle of next month…

...I wanted to thank you for the great time that we had at your facility….it was a real help to our business. I can’t believe how inexpensive it was and the how great the resources were that you lined up for us; it was a real success in every way imaginable."
--Rick Hinman, VP - Server Infrastructure, Erie Insurance Group


Training facility testimonials

"The facility provides an excellent setting for a mix of training and seminar venues: small group hands-on training, round table discussions, and key-note speaking events. This blend of capabilities made Platform Lab an easy choice for InfoSec IV."
--David Garcia, President, Garcia and Associates, Inc, Communications Director, Central Ohio ISSA

"Platform Lab's services far exceeded our expectations and provided us an environment to train our clients that we could not have created internally."
--Andrew Graf, Partner/Sales Director, Team Dynamix

Multi-platform testing testimonials

"The Platform Lab's ability to provide a combination of meeting, conference and technical resources on a pre-planned basis is unprecedented in our area. Because of the Lab's relationship with the Ohio Supercomputing Center (OSC) it has exceptional abilities to provide sophisticated computing and networking environments that facilitate a variety of relevant and complex business needs."
--Thomas E. Meers, President, Result Data Consulting, Ltc.

"The Platform Lab was able to take my seven different configuration requirements for testing and setup the facility to provide me what I needed to get the job done. This setup was not something that I could easily have been able to do within my own organization. If I needed any technical assistance, the support staff was just a phone call away."
--Cheryl Beth Jacobs, CCM and AVP, Image Product Manager, Bank One

"We were impressed with the resources at Platform Lab. We had access to a wide range of systems and configurations; we found Platform Lab to be very flexible and cost-efficient."
--Ajay Nagar, Quality Assurance Manager, Flashline Software, Cleveland, OH
