LITTLETON, MA -- 11/09/09 --
Akorri,
Inc., the leader in virtual infrastructure performance and capacity
management for the dynamic data center, announced today it
continued robust growth and market expansion in the third quarter of 2009,
increasing its revenues by 50 percent over third quarter 2008.
New industry leading customers as well as existing
customers purchasing additional BalancePoint licenses drove this quarter's
growth. Enterprises continue to buy Akorri's award-winning BalancePoint®
software to optimize their virtual and physical server and
storage environments.
Also within the third quarter, Akorri launched and announced its new PartnerPoint Channel Program, featuring new
marketing and sales support, better online education and certification,
deal registration and margin protection features, enabling the company to
secure more than 15 new channel partners. One of the new partners was Rutter Networking Technologies, a
leading end-to-end technology solutions provider in the Northeast.
"We have been very pleased with our new relationship with Akorri. Adding
BalancePoint to our portfolio has enabled us to continue providing our
customers the solutions needed to manage virtualized data center
environments. Akorri's channel support program has been extremely helpful
in getting us up to speed and assisting our customers with deployment,"
said Drew Koellmer, Director of Sales and Marketing from Rutter.
In the third quarter Akorri also:
-- Introduced BalancePoint 3.0 - the latest
version of the company's award-winning virtual infrastructure management
software, with richer virtual machine and storage analysis, broader
interoperability, and user interface improvements.
-- Announced a cooperative marketing and sales support agreement with
3PAR® (NYSE: PAR), the leading global provider of utility storage. BalancePoint 3.0 offers interoperability and
support for 3PAR's InServ® Storage Server series storage arrays.
-- Expanded into European, Asia Pacific, and Latin American markets, as the
company added new partner Syrix in Latin America and opened regional sales
offices.
"We have experienced remarkable growth in our first three quarters this
year despite economic conditions, and as the economy starts to improve we
are well positioned with our new channel program and growing list of
partners to help companies take that next step in optimizing performance
while they virtualize their IT environments," said John Gavin, CEO and COO
for Akorri. "We believe the market will continue to choose BalancePoint for
an infrastructure-wide view and analysis of a combined virtual and physical
environment that traditional systems management tools can't offer."
