FastScale announced a new North America Channel Program with eight partners already signed including Blackhawk Technology Consulting, Continental Resources, International Computerware, New Age Technology, SecureTek Group, VirtaCORE, Whitewater Data, and Xcedex. Data center demand for the company’s innovative technologies exceeded expectations during the first year of availability, and skilled partners will provide customers with greater access to products, technical expertise, and related services offerings centered on FastScale’s technologies.

“Channel partners are fundamental to our success in educating customers, supporting the adoption of new innovation, and meeting the demand for FastScale’s solutions,” said Lynn LeBlanc, CEO of FastScale. “We are extremely pleased to have these outstanding organizations as our partners. The combination of their thorough understanding of data center solutions, knowledge of our joint customer needs, and deep FastScale expertise ensures the highest possible customer success with the FastScale technology.”

FastScale’s innovations address the urgent market need for more adaptive software infrastructure in large IT organizations by delivering an entirely new kind of software virtualization and provisioning solution. FastScale Composer Suite is a technology that delivers a completely automated and dynamic management and deployment platform for both Windows and Linux servers in physical, virtual and hybrid infrastructures alike. With compact software environments built on-demand, automatic patch and configuration management, and lightweight provisioning in only seconds, the entire server infrastructure, both physical and virtual, can adapt to constantly changing demands on the fly. Moreover, because of the small memory footprint, benchmark tests have shown 3X the number of virtual machines can run on a physical server without degrading performance. These capabilities deliver strong value to enterprise IT teams looking to further increase infrastructure utilization and flexibility.

“Our customers face an increasing number of challenges in the data center ranging from deployment of virtual servers, management of complex heterogeneous environments, power and floor space constraints, and system administrator shortages, just to name a few,” said Rob Miller, CEO of VirtaCORE. “Once we realized a solution like FastScale existed, we quickly added it to our portfolio. It provides our customers with a fully automated approach to building, managing and deploying server software in the enterprise – dramatically streamlining infrastructure and saving time and money across the board.”
