Database Administration Provider Ntirety Audited and Certified by MSPAlliance
February 06, 2012
Database administration as a service provider Ntirety, Inc. has been successfully audited and certified by the MSPAlliance (MSPA). The company was audited through the Unified Certification Standard for Cloud and Managed Service Providers (UCS).
The UCS program is designed to offer consumers of cloud and managed services an assurance that service providers will meet or exceed the highest principles of quality in areas like financial stability, facilities, managed services practices and customer satisfaction.
The certification is based on a range of criteria to benchmark managed IT solution providers and ensure they have met and exceeded well-established standards of excellence and client care. When choosing a company that has been certified by the UCS program, clients are ensured their solution provider has achieved standards for physical and virtual security; business and financial stability; has taken reasonable steps to assure clients' IT needs will be safely and professionally addressed; and is under constant external review from the MSPA and the IT profession to continually maintain and improve standards of care and excellence.
The USC audit is performed by third-party accounting firm Frost, PLLC. Ntirety's database administration services work for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL databases. The company's team is based in the U.S. and is comprised of database experts who work with customers and partners on critical projects like consolidation, virtualization and performance tuning. Ntirety also helps customers proactively manage their mission-critical database applications via ongoing managed services.
With more than 15,000 corporate members throughout the world, the MSPAlliance is focused on increasing reliability and dependability in the managed services industry, with regard to the value and benefit of using MSPs to provide a range of mission-critical services. The organization also collects data on the practice of managed services on behalf of its members, helping them to increase the value delivery of IT to the organizations they serve.
“The UCS audit is a rigorous audit and certification process that benchmarks and verifies the quality of the company providing managed services,” said Charles Weaver, MSPAlliance president. “We are very proud to have Ntirety join this elite body of cloud and managed service providers.”
“Ntirety, the pioneer of Database Administration as a Service, is excited to be one of the first database management specialist companies to successfully complete an Industry Standard Audit that measures a company’s ability to provide quality services through the cloud,” said Michael Corey, founder and CEO of Ntirety. “My hat goes off to the MSPAlliance for being an innovator and creating an Audit standard that tackles the unique challenges of delivery services across the cloud. At Ntirety, we are proud of our long term relationship with the MSPAlliance.”
