helps ensure our success as we market BalancePoint to our customers," said
Jamie Shepard, EVP - Technology Solutions for International Computerware, Inc.
"With PartnerPoint, Akorri invests in education, marketing and sales
enablement, so we can best help our customers optimize their virtual and
physical server and storage infrastructure resources on a proactive basis
which ultimately drives down costs and helps to mitigate risk, in a very
high risk IT world."

"The enhancements Akorri has made to its PartnerPoint program reward
partners who are invested in growing the virtual infrastructure management
market," said Rob Cotter, CTO of Insight Investments. "Because
of PartnerPoint's new educational programs and Akorri's ability to protect
our work in the field through their innovative deal registration program,
we are now better prepared and more confident to educate our customers
about the benefits of BalancePoint."

"As organizations move to stage 2 of their server virtualization
implementation, assuring performance of the entire virtual infrastructure
is critical to optimizing cost and efficiency. BalancePoint gives IT users
the confidence needed to take that next step, and the PartnerPoint program
definitely provides our channel partners with the resources they need to
differentiate their solutions to their customers," said Warren Mead, Vice
President of U.S. Channels for Akorri. "The new program demonstrates the
importance we place on our channel partnerships by committing to the
