Moonwalk Adds 15 U.S. Distributors

Moonwalk Inc., the Australian developer of all-inclusive data management and protection software, announced that it has signed 15 U.S. channel partners through The Lauffin Group since the two companies entered into a definitive reseller referral agreement last October.

The success in attracting resellers who will make the Moonwalk software available to customers seeking easier archiving, faster retrieval, and the ability to readily monitor and track locations of files and projects signifies considerable growth opportunities for the solution’s implementation throughout the country. Among those already taking advantages of the benefits Moonwalk software offers are organizations within the aerospace, banking, education, government, healthcare, and research and development industries.

“Because of our success in attracting top-level channel partners throughout the fourth quarter, we are well positioned for immediate success coming into our new fiscal year,” said Peter Harvey, CEO of Moonwalk. “We should see this momentum continuing well into the future as TLG continues to recruit additional resellers on top of the ones we’ve previously signed, giving us critical momentum as we grow our business success throughout the U.S. by reaching more and more customers looking for a better way to proactively manage the migration, copying and movement of data throughout the enterprise.”

“We have seen considerable interest in the channel community for the Moonwalk software suite, which resellers are offering as a standalone product or packaging with hardware for a total comprehensive solution,” said Diamond Lauffin, founder and principal of The Lauffin Group. “The value proposition that Moonwalk brings in simplifying management and automatically migrating older and infrequently accessed files to cheaper storage makes the solution one that customers are eager to implement and one that helps resellers close their sales faster.”

“Providing turnkey implementations for complex storage environments relies on leveraging the latest storage technologies and techniques, and Moonwalk software helps us meet our customers’ requirements in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible,” said Ashby A. Lincoln at VeriStor Systems, a data storage solutions provider based in Atlanta, Ga. “Moonwalk has provided a next-generation approach to managing data that delivers security, reliability and functionality at the proper level for our enterprise customers.”

“Because of Moonwalk’s ability to simplify data management, comply with a variety of governmental regulations and deliver improved ROI, we are able to confidently offer it to customers as a no-brainer addition to every network storage infrastructure,” said Jeanne Wilson at Condor Storage, an Arizona-based systems integrator. “The addition of Moonwalk to our product portfolio opens the door for opportunities to bundle it with compatible storage hardware, while our customers appreciate that it maximizes their existing storage infrastructure.”
