| Source: Egenera
MARLBORO, MA--(Marketwire - June 30, 2008) - Egenera Inc., the data center virtualization
company, today announced three new members to the Egenera® Assured Solution
Alliances program: Axeda, Micron Technology and Transitive. The Egenera
Assured Solution Alliances program leverages a technical assurance process
designed to optimize the interoperability of third-party software solutions
with Egenera virtualization solutions. The relationships forged between
Egenera's support organization and each member's support team create highly
integrated, seamless service standards for joint-customer engagements.
Axeda
Axeda Corporation delivers secure remote service and support capabilities
to some of the world's leading manufacturing companies and large
enterprises. The award-winning Axeda® ServiceLink solution helps companies
proactively service and support products to drive optimal uptime at the
lowest possible cost.
Axeda's relationship with Egenera strengthens the remote service and
support capabilities of the highly available, flexible Egenera platform,
which eliminates the need to dedicate fixed infrastructure to
applications. Combined, the two solutions enable manufacturers and
enterprise data center administrators to reduce service expenditures,
improve security and achieve compliance. Through comprehensive
testing, Axeda ServiceLink has been validated to run on the Egenera system.
Micron Technology
Micron is recognized as one of the world's most innovative and efficient
manufacturers of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and NAND Flash memory,
offering customers a range of memory solutions that fuel today's advanced
digital products, whether they are looking for high-density, high-bandwidth
or low-power. Addressing the low-power challenge, Micron's Aspen Memory®
family of energy-efficient memory products are designed to lower data
center server power consumption. By implementing Micron's Aspen Memory
products, data centers can reduce memory power consumption by up to 60
percent.
To keep power consumption down, Egenera has designed Micron's line of
energy-efficient Aspen Memory products into its Egenera® BladeFrame®
systems. Egenera is experiencing up to a 17 percent reduction in server
memory power consumption by utilizing Micron's 1 Gb-based 1.5-volt DDR2
Aspen Memory modules in its platforms.
Transitive
With more than 10 million copies of its cross-platform virtualization
technology deployed worldwide, Transitive is a leader in providing
solutions that allow the transportability of software applications across
multiple hardware platforms. Transitive's award-winning QuickTransit
solution allows software applications that have been compiled for one
processor or operating system to run on a system with different
characteristics, without any source code or binary changes and at speeds
comparable to native ports.
QuickTransit allows data center managers to transport enterprise
applications quickly and easily from legacy hardware to open, standardized
platforms without incurring the costs and delays of porting projects, and
with little disruption to end users.
"We're thrilled to welcome such high caliber new partners into the Egenera
Assured Solution program," said Kathy Yenke, vice president, Business
Alliances at Egenera. "Customers tell us that close relationships between
