VMware gets added channel for virtualisation products

Ecora Software has announced a reseller agreement with Entisys, a VMware
Premier Enterprise Partner, the highest partnership level within the
VMware VIP programme.

The reseller agreement brings together two strategic players in the
VMware market. A provider of configuration management to the VMware
market, Ecora says it has experienced a surge in requests for VMware
ESX licences, over 500 new licences in the past 60 days.

As one of the select few Premier Enterprise Partners, Entisys will be
able to more strongly partner with VMware in delivering their
Virtualisation Practice to clients and provide value-added solutions
and services using VMware technologies. VMware recently named Entisys
as their North American Partner of the Year.

Through this reseller agreement, Entisys will offer Ecora's compliance and 
configuration reporting solutions to its growing base of VMware customers.

Says Mike Strohl, president of Entisys, "Our relationship with Ecora is a key 
differentiator for Entisys, enabling us to offer configuration management and 
reporting as part of a VMware implementation and assuring our customers 
that they are a receiving the most complete VMware solution available today 
- and in the future.

“Entisys is the creator of Virtualisation Oriented Architecture, and we see this
relationship with Ecora as a key component for creating virtualisation
strategies and roadmaps for our customers."
