STEELEYE Technology, a firm which offers disaster protection of virtual machines running on Citrix XenServer, has strengthened its UK presence with the recruitment of Citrix Gold partner, 360is, to its channel.

“As virtualisation becomes mainstream, companies have become increasingly reliant on virtualised IT services, so the business continuity and disaster recovery elements have become an imperative,� explains Robert Gilson, 360is managing director. “There is a massive demand for supported solutions. SteelEye combined with Citrix XenServer has the capability to offer the multi site coverage many enterprises are in need of. SteelEye complements the feature set and re-enforces the disaster recovery requirements that enterprises are crying out for.�
 
“The flexibility and ease-of-use in SteelEye Protection Suite exemplifies our mission to strip the complexity from today’s IT infrastructure,� said Bob Williamson, senior VP product management and product marketing of SteelEye.
