Lanamark Inc., a global provider of agent-less IT-as-a-Service software for desktop and data center optimization across physical and virtual infrastructure, today announced it has been named to Everything Channel's CRN Virtualization 100 list. Lanamark was also recognized among 20 Virtualization Management Vendors to Watch for helping system integrators and VARs accelerate design and delivery of desktop virtualization, server virtualization and virtual infrastructure optimization solutions and services.

“Union Solutions has been leveraging Lanamark to deliver enterprise-grade virtualization solutions ranging from server consolidation to optimization of existing virtualized environments,” said Rick Russ, director of Union Solutions, a leading provider of services oriented infrastructure solutions in the United Kingdom. “Most recently, we helped a Fortune 500 organization right-size virtual machine and storage infrastructure hosting thousands of workloads, an environment that could not be tackled by enterprise capacity management products deployed by the client. Lanamark scaled flawlessly in this large IT environment, providing our solution architects with the necessary analytics to identify and resolve capacity bottlenecks while maximizing virtual infrastructure performance and postponing capital expenditures.”

Lanamark enables virtualization solution providers to partner with Lanamark through its virtualization-centric VAccelerate Partner Program and use the Lanamark Suite Services Edition to accelerate pre-sales, professional services and managed services engagements across physical and virtual infrastructure. The program provides services-oriented training, enablement and support, allowing partners to develop, enhance and differentiate cross-vendor virtualization solutions and services spanning both public and private clouds.

“From server to storage to desktop virtualization, this technology will become a mainstay for businesses large and small and one of the more profitable technologies for VARs to integrate and sell,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “The Virtualization 100 list provides showcases the best virtualization technology solutions to help VARs navigate the virtualization landscape and determine which vendor is best suited to meet their unique needs.”

“Channel and system integration partners are the driving force behind adoption of desktop and data centre virtualization technologies,” said Mark Angelo, CEO of Lanamark. “We are honoured to be recognized by CRN for our commitment to helping virtualization solution providers grow services revenues and lower enterprise systems management costs by enabling them to deliver virtualization management as a service using our tools.”
