Carahsoft Distributing PernixData FVP Software

PernixData, Inc., in server-side storage intelligence, announced it has appointed Carahsoft Technology Corporation, a government IT solutions provider, to distribute its FVP software to US public sector customers.

Under the agreement, Carahsoft will function as PernixData’s primary distributor and master government aggregator. In addition, the two companies will co-invest in sales and market development activities to promote a new decoupled storage architecture that optimizes application performance and lowers storage costs for government and education entities.

“Carahsoft is a trusted partner for government agencies and educational institutions seeking the most innovative and proven technologies for storage and virtualization,” said Michael Shrader, VP of intelligence and innovative solutions, Carahsoft. “PernixData FVP software is the perfect addition to our portfolio of products, providing substantial and immediate value to our reseller partners and customers who are looking to solve storage performance and cost issues in a completely non-disruptive and scalable manner.“

PernixData FVP software, a platform for scale-out storage acceleration, virtualizes high speed server resources like flash and RAM into a clustered acceleration tier that enables IT administrators to scale-out storage performance independent of storage capacity. The result is read and write performance for all VMs, without the need to change existing server and storage infrastructure. By creating a new software-based infrastructure for server side storage intelligence, PernixData changes how storage is designed and operated in virtual data centers.

“We are thrilled to partner with a heavy hitter like Carahsoft to expand PernixData’s presence into the public sector market,” said Ted Stinson, VP of WW sales, PernixData. “Together, Carahsoft and PernixData will raise awareness for the benefits of server-side storage intelligence, while making it easy for government agencies and educational institutions to procure our award-winning software.“
