In a move to provide its resellers with best-of-breed virtualisation technology, Comztek has
announced the addition of the Virtual Iron suite of products to its software infrastructure
product range.

Virtual Iron software enables organisations to transform their physical server, storage and
network resources into a centrally managed pool, for creating and managing virtual
infrastructure in the data centre. Virtual Iron is focused on advanced virtualisation and
management capabilities that take full advantage of industry standards and open source
economics. These solutions dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of service
delivery.

“There is a growing need for virtualisation solutions as it becomes increasingly difficult for
companies to manage cost in their data centres,” says Mark Dorfling, Comztek Software
Infrastructure Business Unit Director. “Comztek has added Virtual Iron to its range of
products and solutions to address this demand. Virtual Iron provides our resellers with cost
effective virtualisation solutions to tackle many data centre shortcomings.”
Marc Pratt, Sales Manager, SYSDBA and African Representative for Virtual Iron, says,
“The adoption of virtualisation has been slow in Africa. Other proprietary technologies
come in at a significant price point, in some cases more expensive than the hardware that
it runs on. With Virtual Iron, customers are able to leverage cost effective virtualisation
solutions for both server and desktop environments.”

“We are excited to welcome Comztek as partner of choice in this exciting and growing
market segment,” adds Pratt.

The Virtual Iron product suite will join Comztek’s software infrastructure portfolio alongside
Adobe, Attachmate, Citrix, Microsoft and Novell. Covering operating systems and
networking software, server console and terminal emulation as well as graphics and e-
Paper software, Comztek’s Software Infrastructure business unit caters for the needs of
business users looking to derive the most benefit from their networking
