Scott Harris joined the Managed Solution team as a Senior Systems Engineer on May 20, 2015. He was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and grew up on the peninsula in Redwood City. Scott attended Sequoia High School, which offered the first computer programming class in district history. He attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's computer science program in 1978 and moved back to the Bay Area to work in the burgeoning computer industry a few years later. In 1985, Scott landed a job at NASA/Ames Research Center's National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Comples (NFAC), one of the largest wind-tunnel research facilities in the world. PDP-11/70 front-end systems running RMS and VAX/VMS post-processing systems were used there. Booting the PDP-11 was done by flipping a row of paddle switches on the front of the computer chassis in the bit-pattern for the boot-address. These computer systems filled two rooms, along with the controls for the wind tunnel mechanical equipment. Scott worked at NASA for 11 years as a software support engineer, and later developed a wind-tunnel data acquisition and analysis program on the Mac using the LabView graphical programming language.

June 17, 2015 - Managed Solution, a highly honored and tenured managed services company and pioneer in managed, utility-based cloud computing, recently announced its partnership with SHI, the leader in software licensing. The partnership allows Managed Solution and SHI to combine their teams unique skillsets to deliver a holistic technology business solution that optimizes the efficiency of their IT spend with a scalable, consumption based model.
Representatives at both companies say they are excited to take a long-standing informal partnership to the next level.
“This partnership allows technology business consumers to benefit from the purchasing power and expertise of SHI when it comes to licensing and hardware solutions while providing another level of technology consulting by Managed Solution’s engineering experts so customers can leverage their businesses current technology,” said Sean Ferrel, CEO of Managed Solution. ”With Managed Solution’s support, all-encompassing technology solutions will be more easily understood and adopted by the business decision makers of today.”
Ferrel said Managed Solution will work with SHI and its customer base to create roadmaps for the future where cloud based utility models and operational spends converge. “Customers today are no longer working with simple infrastructures containing servers and workstations,” said Ferrel. “Organizations are challenged by looking at business processes and how best to automate their daily lives using technology tools sold by the manufacturer and its partners.”
Ferrel explained that when the impact of these tools are not completely understood, businesses often times don’t implement them and waste valuable money on unused self-ware. “Managed Solution will help accelerate the adoption of these tools by providing business outcome conversations with these customers so their technology investment is strategic to the business.”
Ferrel believes the combined efforts of Managed Solution and SHI will help accelerate understanding and adoption of the cloud utility model which will be a mainstay in businesses going forward.
This is just one type of partnership offered by Managed Solution’s Channel Partner Program. Managed Solution is also working with smaller Managed Service Providers as an extension of their IT services delivery team. “We can either work at the highest level to architect and design for our partner or provide side by side U.S. Based 24/7 helpdesk services to meet the demands of a growing partner organization, said Ferrel. “Businesses should focus on what they do best and leverage their trusted partners to step in so customers can receive excellent services and solutions.”
