Uplogix Gains Market Momentum with Demand for
Next-Generation Secure Remote Management Technology
Customer adoption more than doubled in last year; Leading
vehicle auction provider ADESA deploys Uplogix secure
remote management platform to improve network performance,
reduce IT costs across distributed infrastructure
Interop New York – October 22, 2007 – Uplogix, the leading
provider of next-generation secure remote management solutions,
today announced it has gained significant market share
over the last 12 months with a 133% percent increase in
customer adoption of its award-winning family of remote
management solutions. Financial services, energy, healthcare
and retail sectors across the U.S. and EMEA have been
the strongest adopters. Uplogix credits security and compliance
pressures, rising IT support costs, and legacy IT infrastructures
as key market drivers. By offering the first comprehensive
platform that integrates persistent connectivity, virtual
administration, and secure management capabilities for
distributed IT infrastructures, Uplogix is defining a
new technology approach to the long-standing burden of
managing remote offices and data centers.
"IT staffs must manage a growing number of remote
locations without increased headcounts. With 11 percent
annual growth in the number of branch offices, it's imperative
for them to have both local and centralized management
tools to help deliver consistent and cost-effective application
performance over the WAN," says Robin Gareiss, executive
vice president of Nemertes Research. "In our research,
the more sophisticated IT executives who run 'aggressive'
IT organizations consistently place 'automated problem/resolution'
as a key item on their wish lists. They want tools that
replace manual processes for maintenance and recovery
with automation. We expect a growing number of IT staffs
to look for these capabilities."
ADESA (NYSE:KAR), a leading provider of wholesale vehicle
auctions and related vehicle redistributed services, recently
deployed Uplogix to manage its network device activity
across 100+ remote offices and data centers, to ensure
its online and onsite auction markets are not affected
by outages. ADESA has experienced enhanced network performance,
minimized its management burden, and reduced IT support
costs across its IT infrastructure spanning 20 U.S. states
and Canada.
ÒRemotely managing our IT devices across a range of locations
with a limited support staff was painfully time-consuming
and costly, creating a burden that made it more challenging
to focus on other critical IT responsibilities,Ó said
Chris Roberts, network and security manager, ADESA. ÒUplogix
has one of the few solutions I have purchased and deployed
in my career that actually performs as advertised. My
team took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it just
worked.Ó
Uplogix’ next-generation secure remote management platform
addresses the critical challenges of managing distributed
IT enterprises. Uplogix is the first to integrate persistent
connectivity, virtual administration, and secure management
capabilities to alleviate the risk, complexity and cost
inherent in managing highly remote offices and data centers:
Persistent Connectivity. The Uplogix management appliance
directly connects to managed servers and network devices
within enterprise datacenters or remote office locations
to ensure secure, always-on connectivity, providing IT
staff with 24/7 access even during network downtime.
Virtual Administration. Performs a majority of the administration,
maintenance and recovery tasks that an on-site technician
would do today, but faster, error-free and at a fraction
of the cost. For large scale implementations, a Web-based
platform is available to provide a unified view and centralized
control of all Uplogix management appliances and the managed
devices connected to them.
Secure Management. Provides consistent security and management
policy enforcement enabling users to control who has access
to network devices and servers, what they are doing with
these devices, and to accurately report on all interactions
in order to satisfy security and compliance audits, even
during network outages.
Uplogix appliances are available in 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-
port models.
ÒWe have seen a steady increase in remote management technology
spending over the last year, and expect it to continue
through 2008 due to pressing initiatives such as compliance
and security,Ó said Tom Goldman, CEO, Uplogix. ÒWe are
also seeing our solution becoming a key component to enterprise
networking, which tells us we are relieving a pain point
that has long been viewed as unsolvable. Uplogix remains
dedicated to helping enterprises transform IT from an
operational burden and cost center to a strategic business
value driver.Ó
Uplogix is exhibiting at Interop in New York, October
24-25 in Booth #364.
