Dallas Digital Services to Resell Virtual Instruments Software

Virtual Instruments signed a reseller agreement with Dallas Digital Services LLC.

The agreement provides Dallas Digital with the opportunity to sell Virtual Instruments’ solutions as a part of their portfolio of products and services. Under the terms of the agreement, Dallas Digital’s sales force is authorized to resell Virtual Instruments’ NetWisdom, the industry’s leading SAN monitoring solution, and VirtualWisdom, the industry’s first real-time cross-domain virtual infrastructure optimization solution. The two companies have already completed a major joint installation at one of the nation’s largest telecommunications organizations.

"We have chosen to partner with Virtual Instruments as they offer the leading solution for SAN and Virtual Infrastructure Optimization and have unparalleled knowledge of Fibre Channel SANs," said Howie Evans, vice president, Dallas Digital Services. "The biggest challenges to successfully implementing virtualized business-critical applications are typically SAN I/O related. VirtualWisdom directly addresses these challenges with a unique monitoring and optimization solution that provides deep visibility into the virtual server and storage environment and accelerates the realization of the financial benefits of virtualization."

"Dallas Digital Services is a leading integrator of high-performance storage solutions. In our work with them, we’ve seen their expertise in deploying business-critical storage solutions and know that it sets them apart from other solution providers in their region," said Sean Maxwell, vice president of sales, Virtual Instruments.
