Opalis Joins TAP Program
November 7, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Run Book Automation software provider Opalis Software (opalis.com) announced on Monday it has joined Opsware's Technology Alliance Partner program.
The partnership supports joint sales and marketing activities and will give customers access to a wide range of data center automation capabilities. As a result, the IT infrastructure will benefit from more rapidly achieved operational efficiencies and reduced labor costs.
"The powerful combination of Opalis and Opsware enables customers to automate data center processes, including change management processes that require orchestration of multiple management systems, infrastructure elements and departments," says Michael Tindal, VP of marketing for Opalis. "As a result, Opalis provides Opsware customers with additional value, faster ROI, and even greater efficiencies as they manage their data centers."
With the rising cost and complexity of today's IT infrastructure, enterprises are deploying IT automation to increase productivity, ensure policy compliance, combat security threats and reduce labor expenses. The Opsware TAP program supports the increasing demand for this technology by providing an effective way to address customer needs for server, network and application automation.
