Leader in Server Virtualization Management Solutions
Attributes Much of its Business Success to Outstanding Channel Partners and its
Relationship with VMware Initiative aimed at Enhancing Opportunities for
Partners.
Buffalo Grove, IL, June 16th, 2008 -- Vizioncore Inc., the market
leader in server virtualization management, today announced it is participating
in the VMware Alliance Initiative, a co-marketing initiative that includes
technology alliance partners from a broad range of technology sectors. These
vendors have created custom VMware virtualization training and tools for
channel partners, as well as financial incentives on the sale of their products
combined with VMware solutions. These vendor incentives help provide additional
profitability opportunities for vendor channel partners and reward partners for
creating complete solutions for customers.
"VMware welcomes Vizioncore
as part of the VMware Alliance Affiliate Initiative, which is aimed at helping
increase partner profitability and joint solution selling," said Steve
Houck, vice president of worldwide channels at VMware. "Vizioncore is a
longstanding VMware partner and with a robust reseller program and valuable
management solutions for the VMware platform, particularly in the areas of
disaster recovery and business continuity strategies. Vizioncore's
solutions are helping companies address these important issues affordably and
reliably."
"This initiative is just one more validation of the
impressive success and leadership role Vizioncore continues to build in the
burgeoning virtualization market," said Mike
Coffman, vice president of Corporate Development for Quest Software.
"We recognize the bond and mutual vision that Vizioncore has developed
with its reseller channel, which has not only generated accolades like this,
but also driven impressive new levels of revenues and expansion for our
virtualization business. We continue to look forward to great things from
Vizioncore and its channel as the adoption of virtualization continues to grow
in the coming years."
Vizioncore, which operates autonomously as Quest's Server Virtualization Management
Group, also acknowledged their channel partners were a significant factor in
making the first half of 2008 the best performing period ever in
Vizioncore's history. Vizioncore successfully uses a go-to-market model
that depends on third-party value-added distributors and resellers who have
specific virtualization expertise to help customers ensure data protection and
business continuity, optimize server performance and cost, and support major
initiatives such as "Green IT" through an impressive suite of
virtualization management solutions.
"We are finishing our
strongest half year ever, and we owe our dedicated channel partners a big thank
you for our success," said Chris Akerberg, Vizioncore president and COO.
"Examples of this success include our first ever million-dollar deal that
we closed recently with a major financial services provider, and the fact that
we broke the 10,000 customer threshold this quarter. In the coming year, we
will be launching new solutions, promos and initiatives to help our partners
respond to greater customer demand for world-class virtualization products and
services and help us close more enterprise-wide deals, and continue our rapid
acceleration of customer adoption," Akerberg added.
"Vizioncore is committed to
the continued development of its industry leading virtualization
solutions," said Andrew Bull, Consultant with IVOXY Consulting, which
specializes in data availability strategies for the enterprise. "They are
feature-rich products that respond to the market by offering critical, needed
functionality with each new update. We do not hesitate in recommending
Vizioncore's products to our customers, as these products easily extend their
return on their investments in a virtualization platform. Vizioncore is also
equally committed to our business success, and we value the integrity
consistently displayed throughout our partnership."
