“We are pleased to be Akorri’s strategic partner in the China region to provide our customers with the best performance analysis and capacity management solution,” said Jeffrey Moy, Technical Director of GTI. “Akorri’s BalancePoint is an essential solution for all customers planning to support mission critical applications on virtualized infrastructures. The partnership will strengthen our position as the leading IT service management and virtualization expert in the region.”
“Akorri has developed an award winning Partner Program that provides business partners like GTI with the tools and resources required to help customers optimize performance in the dynamic data center,” said Craig Stockdale, Managing Director Asia Pacific and Japan at Akorri. “Akorri’s BalancePoint solution allows enterprise customers to optimize virtual and physical server and storage infrastructure to reduce costs and assure service levels to the business units as they advance through the stages of virtualization adoption and into private cloud computing. Key to this success is the appointment of experienced and technically competent business partners like GTI who have an established virtualization practice who are looking to deploy unique infrastructure performance management solutions that will deliver significant cost savings to the business.
“Akorri continues to gain momentum in Asia Pacific with the addition of strategic business partners like GTI who have coverage across all of mainland China. Many enterprise customers are looking to ‘sweat the assets’ in the datacenter – how do we do more for less and better utilize our existing storage, server and virtual infrastructure and this is where Akorri helps. BalancePoint quickly identifies performance bottlenecks, optimizes existing infrastructure and delivers significant cost benefit to the business. Without BalancePoint, the dynamic nature of virtualization deployments will ultimately fail, causing significant customer and administrative pain.”
