AccelOps (www.accelops.net), maker of integrated monitoring solutions for “cloud-generation” data centers, announced on Monday that it has appointed Richard Kagan, executive VP and general manager for the Orchestration Systems business at Infoblox, to its board of directors.
The press release from AccelOps calls Kagan a “respected technology strategist and marketer,” with more than 25 years experience in marketing, business development and engineering experience in the telecommunications, networking and security industries.
“AccelOps has a tremendous opportunity ahead of us, making it essential we attract the industry’s most experienced and knowledgeable executives,” says AccelOps Elie Antoun, quoted in the announcement. “We’re very pleased to welcome Rick as a board member. His insight into the growing and rapidly changing global IT marketplace will fortify our efforts to capitalize on the explosive growth in data centers and cloud computing.”
Antoun was appointed CEO of AccelOps earlier this month.
Before joining Infoblox as VP of marketing, Kagan held the same role at Fortinet, where he helped to launch the company and to define the market for unified threat management. Prior to that he was VP of marketing at VPNet and VP of sales at Echelon. He also held engineering positions at ROLM and Bell Labs.
“The requirements for delivering IT as a service have been beyond any monitoring architecture on the market, until AccelOps,” says Kagan, quoted in the press release. “I look forward to working with the AccelOps team and contributing to the company’s growth and success.”
AccelOps’ monitoring solution is available in a SaaS model, or run on a virtual appliance. It correlates operational data from on-premise, off-premise and cloud environments.
I trial download of the data center monitoring software is available from the company’s website.
