SDG Distributes VirtualSharp

VirtualSharp Software announced that Special Distribution Group through its brands of IQ-Sys in the UK and Ireland and ETC in The Netherlands will distribute VirtualSharp’s Disaster Recovery orchestrator ReliableDR in the UK, Ireland and Holland through its base of value-added resellers.

As datacentres become increasingly virtualised and more and more organisations deploy IT as a service, the need to strengthen disaster recovery processes and demonstrate compliance with recovery SLAs is giving rise to new challenges. The partnership between VirtualSharp and SDG will broaden the solution’s geographical reach, allowing a greater number of end users to eliminate the complex and unreliable nature of DR processes by automating the testing process of virtualised applications.

"SDG is widely acclaimed by the major virtualisation vendors for its excellence in introducing new technologies in both the server and desktop markets, and we are very excited to partner with them," comments Carlos Escapa CEO at VirtualSharp. "SDG’s specialist teams in the UK and the Netherlands have outstanding track records in supporting resellers in rolling out innovative products, supporting new adopters from their centres of excellence and providing project deployment assistance. Our partnership will bring a new value proposition to virtualisation resellers and end users in the UK and the Netherlands."

"SDG has built a strong reputation as the ‘go-to’ partner for innovative virtualisation solutions. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity have become increasingly important factors within this strategy. VirtualSharp enhances our virtualisation portfolio and proposition to deliver a complete set of best-of-breed solutions to our resellers. This partnership is a key building block for both companies and we are looking forward to taking the product to market," comments IQ-Sys Director Sarah Deller.

VirtualSharp ReliableDR is installed and available for reseller training and demonstration at SDG’s Business Solutions Centres in the UK and the Netherlands. The VirtualSharp Partner Program includes a range of sales aids, NFR products and deal registration to support the evaluation of ReliableDR and help resellers to identify professional services and drag-on hardware sales to accompany the deployment of VirtualSharp solutions.
