A new partnership announcement with leading IT distributor OpenPSL, signals Zeus' commitment to further Channel initiatives in 2006.
The deal sees OpenPSL selling Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (ZXTM), an advanced Application Delivery Controller (ADC), to its extensive client base in the SME, corporate and enterprise markets. ZXTM enables OpenPSL to offer its customers the leading application traffic management software solution available today.
Critical to OpenPSL's selection of ZXTM is the ability to combine traffic management, advanced security and application acceleration in a single, scalable solution. As a software platform ZXTM is uniquely placed to run on traditional servers or blades; alternatively it is available as an appliance, providing customers ultimate flexibility in platform options. ZXTM's configurable TrafficScript language provides the flexibility to define traffic routing rules according to business needs, providing further opportunities for OpenPSL and affiliated partners to deliver valuable post- sale consultancy services.
OpenPSL is a value-added distributor for many vendors, VARs, system integrators and software houses. As well as distributing a broad range of IT products, OpenPSL provides an extensive portfolio of technical services along with ISV migration and hosting services which are sold exclusively through channel partners.
Ed Callacher, Networking Divisional Manager at OpenPSL said, "OpenPSL focuses on delivering tangible benefits to our customers and providing partners with products that secure competitive advantage. To achieve these goals, we pride ourselves on linking with organizations that produce leading-edge technology to ensure our offering remains ahead of the market. ZXTM is a robust, scalable and flexible solution that adds true value to our portfolio, and we look forward to a mutually successful relationship with Zeus."
ZXTM's unique capabilities provide organizations with centralized control and resilience for applications, ensuring swift and seamless interaction between today's web-enabled applications and evolving XML-based Web Services. Designed for high performance, ZXTM can easily manage unexpected peaks in application traffic, and delivers cost efficiencies to web-enabled businesses all over the world. In 2005, ZXTM gained significant industry recognition, winning six significant awards both in the UK and the US, and saw rapid and increased adoption, largely through a number of new partnership agreements.
Steve Webb, vice president of Sales at Zeus Technology, said: "The power of ZXTM adds significant strength to any reseller's portfolio. Zeus is moving away from a direct sales model to become a partner-oriented organization, therefore it is key for us to continue building our presence in the Channel this year. By working with first-rate distributors such as OpenPSL, we are well positioned to reach new customer markets".
