Littleton, MA, June 29, 2010 – Akorri, Inc., the leader in virtual infrastructure performance and capacity management for the dynamic data center, today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor. The annual list recognizes companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology. Everything Channel selected Akorri as a CRN Emerging Technology Vendor for its significant market traffic, strong PartnerPoint program and Akorri’s award-winning BalancePoint software.
BalancePoint is the only virtual infrastructure management software solution on the market designed to optimize virtual infrastructures, physical servers and storage resources. IT organizations use BalancePoint to quickly isolate performance problems, reduce infrastructure costs and ultimately enable service level management of their dynamic data center infrastructures.
