Target Australia Hits Virtualisation Bullseye with Xangati’s Infrastructure Performance Management Solution

Melbourne, Australia, September 14th 2011 –TrackITOnline, an Enterprise Management solutions distributor in conjuction with their distribution partner Xangati, the recognised leader in infrastructure performance management, today announced that Target Australia, one of Australia’s most successful retailers, has chosen and is implementing its Infrastructure Performance Management (IPM) solution to manage its virtualised infrastructure. Target Australia will use the Xangati VI Dashboard to obtain maximum value from their virtualisation investment by reducing time to problem resolution through its comprehensive, continuous and real-time views into Target’s physical and virtual infrastructure.

In addition, Xangati’s Performance Health Engine – a key component of its VI Dashboard solution – can alert Target’s IT managers to potential problems before they even occur through its real-time health index that continuously monitors the status of every object impacting the virtualised environment.

“Xangati’s partnership with TrackITOnline allows us to bring our award-winning virtualisation management solutions to the rapidly growing Australian and New Zealand virtualisation markets, significantly deepening our international reach Down Under,” said Greg Dumas, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Xangati. “Many Australian organisations – such as Target Australia – are turning to virtualisation for cost savings but have valid concerns about their ability to adequately manage these new environments with existing tools. With comprehensive, cross-silo visibility, Xangati’s VI Dashboard gives them the confidence to successfully run mission-critical business applications and processes on these new infrastructures.”
