Uplogix Revs Up with Next-Generation Secure Remote Management Technology(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Uplogix, a provider of next-generation secure remote management solutions, announced that it has gained significant market share over the last 12 months with a 133 percent percent increase in customer adoption of its 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, a 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 network support costs across its IT infrastructure spanning 20 U.S. states and Canada. Remotely 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, said Chris Roberts, network and security manager, ADESA. Uplogix 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. We 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, said Tom Goldman, CEO, Uplogix. We 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. Uplogix is exhibiting at Interop in New York, October 24-25, the company noted in a release.
