Storix's New Channel Partner Program Delivers Maximum Value Add to Resellers, System Integrators and Solution Providers
SAN FRANCISCO--Aug. 15, 2006--Storix Inc., a leading provider of native backup and disaster recovery software for Linux and AIX systems, launched its first comprehensive channel program initiative at LinuxWorld Expo here today targeted at value-added resellers, system integrators and solution providers.
The new program delivers significant benefits for the channel and provides maximum opportunity for success by minimizing the number and breadth of partners in a given geographic territory and by focusing solely on backup and system recovery applications.
"Storix recognizes that a loyal and targeted channel network is the best way to maintain our leadership in the Linux/AIX system recovery market," said Manuel Altamirano, Storix director of marketing and sales. "Storix offers unique opportunities for our channel partners unlike any others in our market space. We are experiencing a tremendous increase in the number of resellers participating in our channel program. With half of our revenue now attributed to the channel, our goal is to not saturate the market but continue to work closely with quality resellers and partners. More strategic initiatives based on channel feedback are planned to go along with the many enhancements to our very mature product line."
According to Lance Teel, account executive at Boise, Idaho-based SourceOne: "Most of our customers are enterprise data centers. If their systems crash, it's a disaster. With SBAdmin we can rebuild a system from scratch in hours. SBAdmin works well with Tivoli Storage Manager, and we now apply both to all our hardware installations. It's simply the best bare metal restore software in the industry."
"We chose Storix System Backup Administrator for three reasons," said Robert Clark, president of Clark Data Systems, Quakertown, Penn. "First, it's an easy-to-use solution. Second, its backup and disaster recovery capabilities let us replace our Linux-based routers and software very quickly, which pleases our customers. And third, they provide excellent support."
About SBAdmin
Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin) is the most flexible full-system Linux/AIX backup and bare metal recovery program on the market. Unlike typical "disk image" restore, SBAdmin allows companies to completely recover an existing system in a single step. It also allows system administrators to easily reconfigure and restore a system onto completely different hardware or to provision new systems. This ability significantly reduces planned and unplanned downtime along with their associated costs.
SBAdmin performs a file-level system backup capable of being restored onto different hardware while supporting all popular Linux storage configurations (e.g. LVM and Software Raid). SBAdmin supports backup and restore of any Linux distribution regardless of disk complexity and I/O configuration. It fully recognizes original and new devices and adapters, and it automatically reconfigures the operating system to support them.
