VAR PlexNet Offering Virtual Instruments App-Centric Infrastructure Performance Management Solutions

Virtual Instruments, Inc. announced its sales expansion into Australia with the appointment of PlexNet Pty Ltd, a specialist in networking, application, infrastructure and security testing and analysis, as its newest VAR and professional services partner.

PlexNet specializes in bringing storage and network testing technology from around the globe to the Australian market, and will have distribution rights for all of Virtual Instruments’ app-centric infrastructure performance management solutions, including the VirtualWisdom infrastructure performance monitoring platform and the Load DynamiX Enterprise storage performance testing and validation platform. It will provide its customers the opportunity to more easily measure and guarantee performance-based SLAs and increase the value of their infrastructure.

There is an ongoing global trend of enterprises seeking ways to make more intelligent decisions about their infrastructure in order to better control escalating costs and assure performance. In fact, a recent report from the Enterprise Strategy Group showed that 94% of respondents said their organization ensures performance and availability by using monitoring tools, and 54% of those respondents prefer to use vendor-independent monitoring tools.

“As we continue to expand globally, our goal is to work with highly regarded regional partners with proven capabilities to help customers make more intelligent deployment decisions and optimize their infrastructure investments,” said Sheen Khoury, EVP of worldwide sales, Virtual Instruments. “We’re looking forward to working closely with PlexNet and our other partners across the globe to help them offer highly differentiated products and services that enable them to become vendor-independent trusted advisors to their customers.“

“We are excited about adding Virtual Instruments’ app-centric IPM products to our portfolio as they address a critical need for a vendor-agnostic performance monitoring and testing solutions for the emerging hybrid data center,” said Dom Fitzgibbon, director of sales and technical services, PlexNet. “Our experience is that customers require end to end visibility from the user to the storage systems and control of their digital service delivery. PlexNet has responded to our clients’ needs by partnering with Virtual Instruments to deliver the outcomes that customers need and expect.“
