Bringing Confidence in Performance

Alan Robin, CEO, Xangati

At the start of the year, I proclaimed Xangati’s 2011 New Year’s resolution—to obliterate virtualization stall.  Now that we’re about midway through the year, I’d like to check in and give you a quick update on how we’re doing.

In business, strategists often talk about boosting company performance one customer at a time. Well, at Xangati, we focus on accelerating your virtualization initiatives—one installation at a time—by removing the obstacles that create virtualization stall.

Since Xangati is actually averaging over 10 installations a day, we’re currently removing these obstacles at an even brisker pace! In fact, we’re moving so fast that Q2 represented our best quarter ever for customer acquisition and overall sales.

I believe that each of Xangati’s installations represents a step forward in the obliteration of virtualization stall. And this is achieved in one way and one way only—by bringing confidence in performance.

As you roll out any new technology, the key question is always ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ This question is the same whether you’re looking at migrating your core business applications to a virtualized infrastructure or deploying a VDI initiative to a distributed workforce.

Unfortunately, you can’t guarantee that something will always work. But you can bring confidence in performance with tools that allow you to quickly identify when the system isn’t working, easily assess the problem and pinpoint it so accurately that fixing it becomes as effortless and streamlined as possible.

As you implement virtualization technologies, performance management is critical. Xangati reduces the operational challenges and complexity of managing these systems, allowing you to fully benefit from your investment.

CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) recently selected Xangati for VDI to manage its global virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) initiative. You can take a look at the announcement here. As a leader in using innovative technologies for competitive advantage, CBRE has been an earlier adopter of virtualization.

CBRE recognized that a poor end-user experience is devastating to VDI. In order to move its VDI initiative to operational scale, it needed more reassurance in its ability to identify and resolve potential issues. Xangati for VDI gave CBRE that reassurance—reducing its time to problem resolution by an astonishing 70 percent!

Xangati now has more than 4000 installations worldwide and reaches 40 countries on five continents. And you can expect to hear even higher numbers from us shortly as we capitalize on some exciting developments in Europe, as well as Down Under.

As thousands of companies transform their data centers, they are turning to Xangati to integrate performance management for their physical and virtual infrastructures.

In just the first six months of 2011, Xangati has offered the following solutions—all providing a solid foundation for maximizing confidence in performance:

Our Performance Health Engine can alert you to potential problems before they even occur!
