Condusiv Technologies Announces Elevation of Plan B Technologies, Inc. Partnership to Premier Status

BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - December 01, 2014) - Condusiv^® Technologies, the leader in I/O reduction software for virtualized environments, today announced the promotion of Plan B Technologies, Inc. (PBT), one of the leading Mid-Atlantic IT solutions and professional services providers, to its Premier Partner Program. From the datacenter to the device, Plan B Technologies has expertise in the areas of: storage area networking, backup, recovery and archiving, security and network infrastructure, Microsoft solutions and virtualization solutions for infrastructure, applications, and desktops. 

The Condusiv/PBT alliance creates a best-in-class portfolio of high performance optimization solutions and infrastructure services focused on mid-market and enterprise organizations who have virtualized and are looking to improve application performance without the exorbitant cost and disruption of additional server and storage hardware to meet their performance SLAs.

Condusiv software products are used by more than 90% of the Fortune 500 and almost three-quarters of The Forbes Global 100. Condusiv's V-locity® I/O reduction software has amassed one of the largest virtualization followings with nearly 2,000 customers. V-locity delivers 50-300% faster application performance by reducing the I/O requirement for any given workload from virtual machine (VM) to storage and combats the performance penalty from the "I/O blender" effect.

"The powerful combination of our leading global business optimization software and Microsoft Gold Partner status paired with Plan B's expertise from the datacenter to the device, will greatly strengthen our Microsoft customer solutions portfolio in the Mid-Atlantic," said Brian Morin, SVP, Global Marketing of Condusiv Technologies. "By reducing I/O at the VM layer, we enhance the performance of existing systems by doubling throughput which ultimately protects the customer's CAPEX investment and reins in spiraling data center costs spent unnecessarily on additional server and storage hardware that do nothing to cure their I/O problem. We help customers be as agile, productive and successful as possible." 

Donnie Downs, President & CEO at Plan B Technologies, Inc., said, "We are thrilled to grow our partnership with Condusiv Technologies, as a Premier Partner. Condusiv is a natural partnership for us, given our commitment to our customers. V-locity I/O reduction software helps our customers increase the performance of existing systems, providing the additional performance they need at a fraction of the cost of an expensive hardware forklift upgrade."
