Virtual Instruments Kicks off EMEA Channel expansion and signs virtue
October 2010 by Marc Jacob
Virtual Instruments announced the expansion of its EMEA channel plans and its partnership with Virtue, a Paris-based value added reseller and integrator of end-to-end virtualisation and storage solutions. This is the latest stage in Virtual Instruments’ growth strategy, one that has already helped the company sign a number of channel partners in North America and Asia, and that will see it recruit more across EMEA and worldwide.
Virtual Instruments’ VirtualWisdom® software allows IT administrators to monitor and analyse their storage and virtualised IT infrastructures in order to optimise their business-critical applications and productivity. To date customers include BarclayCard, Halifax Bank of Scotland and Unilever. Brocade Dell, EMC, HP, HDS, and IBM are among the vendors who currently rely on Virtual Instruments to optimise and troubleshoot SAN implementations for their enterprise customers.
Virtue is the only value added distributor to offer end-to-end virtualisation products and services in France, offering expertise around storage, backup, servers and applications and working with providers including Dell, FalconStor, HP and Pillar Data. By carrying Virtual Instruments’ solutions Virtue will address the need for Fibre Channel SANs and virtualised IT infrastructure managers to dramatically accelerate troubleshooting, improve application performance, eliminate downtime, accelerate virtualisation deployments, and improve server and SAN utilisation.
Virtue will focus on large organisations in the financial, retail, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications and government spaces, and has already introduced Virtual Instruments’ solutions to multiple leading French IT organizations, including Groupama Asset Management.
