	Effective this month, we are re-branding the term Network Solutions Partner (NSP) and will instead be using Solutions Partners (SP) in all our program communications.  This move will align us with our current business model, in which the Solution Partner Business manages and develops both NSPs and Data Center Solutions Partner (DCSPs).  More on this business model in next month’s issue. Also, business continuity was once only a concern of large organizations. Today, with IT threading itself into virtually every business process, continuity has emerged as an issue no business can afford to ignore.  Thus, for the first Q3 issue of this newsletter, we are featuring a white paper entitled “Get More From Your Data Center” which discusses the challenges of current and future data centers; as well as ways to eliminate infrastructure risks and vulnerabilities. This month, we also run down some past and upcoming events, and introduce you to the new additions to the regional Solution Partner team. We’ve got a lot in store for you, so do enjoy this issue! Cheers, Mitch S. Bautista Chief Editor
	Enabling Business-Critical Continuity with Emerson Network Power Over the last three years, business continuity and disaster recovery have been among the top 10 IT initiatives for midsized businesses. It is rare for companies to install new IT applications without addressing how they’ll protect them from downtime caused by security threats, hardware failures and power outages. Achieving business continuity requires a power and cooling infrastructure that protects the availability and integrity of your IT systems. See how Solutions from Emerson Network Power can help your customers.
