Austin, TX & Pittsford, NY September 16, 2009
Austin, Texas &
Pittsford, NY – Sept. 16, 2009 – Hyper9, Inc. and Infinite Group,
Inc. (IMCI.OB) today announced a strategic partnership in which
Infinite Group, Inc. (IGI) will provide virtualization management
services to the federal, state and local IT services sector using
Hyper9’s Virtualization Optimization Suite™ (VOS) solution.
Falling tax revenues, which are straining federal and state IT
budgets, and the push for energy-saving technology among
public-sector accounts are driving the uptick in demand for
virtualization in government. However, a recent report by CDW
Government, Inc. indicates that although nearly three-quarters of
federal information technology managers recognize the benefits of
virtualization, just 20 percent say their agencies are harnessing
the technology to its fullest.
The Hyper9-IGI collaboration combines best practices and
leading-edge technology to give IT managers and administrators
better business insights into their virtual infrastructure, and help
government and commercial clients get more out of their
virtualization investments.
Hyper9’s VOS solution inspects, correlates and monitors
configuration, performance, event and historical data across the
virtual infrastructure, combining usability and dashboard features
with in-depth analytics and reporting to help users find and reclaim
virtual resources. Out of the box features including one-click
access to data and common tasks, such as "find VMs," "run reports,”
and "solve VM sprawl,” giving enterprises better visibility and
context to make proactive business decisions.
“The ease with which VMs can be deployed has led to a growing
phenomenon of VM sprawl, increasing the time and expense of managing
virtual environments, and undermining the ROI potential of
virtualization projects,” said Jason Langone, vice president of
Virtualization Services for Infinite Group. “Partnering with Hyper9
will give us key insight into our customers’ virtual environments,
eliminating manual assessments and reporting, and helping them
establish best practices around proactive monitoring and reporting
which can be maintained over time.”
Virtualization and consolidation services represent a key practice
area for Infinite Group in the commercial and government markets.
IGI provides a complete range of virtualization services, including
capacity planning and assessment, server consolidation, desktop
virtualization, application virtualization, Physical to Virtual
migrations (P2V), as well as disaster preparedness and recovery
services.
“Virtualization technology enables organizations to shrink the size
of their IT footprint – the benefits of which include reduced
capital and operating costs, improved continuity of operations and
network security, and better utilization of computing resources,”
said Bill Kennedy, CEO of Hyper9. “We’re excited to partner with IGI
to bring innovative virtualization technology and best practices to
an expanded category of government and commercial clients.”
