Trigence, the leader in virtualization at the application level, today unveiled its Trigence Channel Partner Program for value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators and consulting firms. The program enables Trigence channel partners to significantly broaden their solutions portfolio and grow revenue opportunities by offering their customers a better alternative to managing an application throughout its lifecycle.

Trigence currently delivers its Trigence AE application virtualization solution through a select group of partners in each region. The distinct advantages the Trigence solution offers over traditional application upgrade processes have created a multitude of consulting and professional services opportunities for Trigence channel partners. These applications include
application modernization, data center assessments, business continuity and disaster recovery planning, capacity planning and utilization, implementation and deployment, operating system upgrades, legacy application migration and various other managed services.

Trigence AE application virtualization technology packages applications and their dependencies into capsules thereby creating independent, standardized, moveable objects that can be relocated within Solaris and Linux operating systems to virtually any setting without compromising functionality. By decoupling applications from the server and operating system, they can be deployed, managed, and supported with much less effort.

"Trigence has experienced significant growth during the past year and the continued expansion of our channel partner network is critical to our long-term business success," said David Roth, president and CEO, Trigence. "The industry's most robust application virtualization solution, Trigence AE helps our channel partners dramatically improve application  manageability and IT consolidation initiatives for their customers. Through our new partner program, we will help our value-added resellers expand opportunities with existing customers while simultaneously identifying new customers requiring a virtualized environment." 

As part of today's news, Trigence has announced partnership agreements with AsiaFootPrint and OnX Enterprise Solutions, Ltd. In addition, Trigence is seeking to add new qualified channel partners in the coming year to help drive further growth in the application virtualization space. To that end, the company unveiled several partner resources designed to attract and support additional partners.
