Danvers, MA, June 28, 2010 – LineSider Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of cloud automation, today announced the company has added Agilysys, Inc., a leading provider of innovative IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers, as an authorized reseller partner. With this announcement, Agilysys will begin offering LineSider’s OverDrive network virtualization services platform to Enterprise and service provider customers.
OverDrive is the industry’s first network automation and orchestration solution that enables enterprises and service providers to dramatically reduce network operations costs associated with virtualization and cloud computing. OverDrive works without scripts or templates to automate and virtualize network infrastructure so the network becomes fluid and responsive to changes in today's computing environments. This helps to dramatically reduce operations costs and provides the flexibility, agility and scalability required to support dynamic computing environments.
“One of the biggest challenges facing our Enterprise and service provider customers today is the enormous amount of operational time spent on creating and modifying network connectivity and security to support virtual computing. OverDrive addresses this challenge,” said Tony Mellina, senior vice president, general manager - Technology Solutions Group at Agilysys. “Virtualization and cloud computing solutions from Agilysys help customers create a more flexible, responsive infrastructure. LineSider’s OverDrive automates this process.”
“LineSider places a strong emphasis on finding well-respected partners like Agilysys that have proven experience in providing complex virtualized solutions,” Said John Donnelly III, Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing at LineSider. “As customers virtualize more, the complexity escalates. They need a way to automate their virtual and physical infrastructures quickly, securely and cost-effectively. OverDrive solves this challenge. We are very excited to work with Agilysys to bring a business critical solution like OverDrive to its customers.”
