(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MENLO PARK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/17/14 -- Delphix, the leading provider of agile data solutions, today announced that the company has promoted Matt Ahrens to Principal Engineer, a role that recognizes his achievements as a leader within the company's engineering team as well as the strategic role that he plays in the company's product direction.

We're very pleased to promote Matt to Principal Engineer, and we look forward to his continued impact in the strategic development of both our product and our engineering team." Ahrens is the first engineer at Delphix to be named Principal Engineer. This promotion is a reflection of the indelible impact he has had on the organization, product and company throughout his tenure at Delphix.
