Leader in Systems Management Appliances Takes Solution Across the
Globe to Save Customers Time and Money
SINGAPORE--(Business Wire)--KACE(TM), the leading systems management appliance company, today
announced new significant customer wins in the Asia Pacific (APAC)
region, including AsianLife Insurance, China Trust Indonesia, Herma,
SP Apparels, Starwood Hotels, and The Telenor Group. Saving customers
both time and money, KACE is rapidly making an impact in the Asian
markets with its proven, award-winning KBOX systems management and
deployment appliances technology.
"KACE is seeing rapid adoption of its technology and traction
throughout the entire APAC region as a number of large- and
medium-sized enterprises are looking for an affordable and easy-to-use
IT solution to match their unique systems management and deployment
needs," said Greg Lipper, KACE's managing director for the APAC
region.
New customer Telenor uses the KBOX to manage more than 3,000 nodes
across its mobile communications service stations throughout Pakistan.
With revenues exceeding NOK $91 billion in 2006, Telenor is one of the
fastest growing providers of mobile communications services in the
world.
"KACE's appliance-based systems management solution enables our
mobile operations to stay connected and operate at the highest level,"
said Khalid Shehzad, chief information officer of Telenor. "The KBOX
family of appliances complements our service portfolio and helps us to
significantly reduce huge IT-related costs, enabling us to offer
better value to our customers."
Philippines-based AsianLife is another recent APAC KACE customer.
The rapidly growing life insurance company selected KACE after
evaluating several software-only systems management packages. Despite
the fact that each vendor was well established in the region,
AsianLife found the solutions to be too expensive and complicated to
use.
"We just about gave up on finding the perfect solution that had
the IT functionality we needed and the price point and ease-of-use
that we required for systems management," said Alfred Garcia, senior
network specialist at AsianLife. "We looked at other, more well-known
solutions and found those solutions to be too complicated, expensive,
and limited in terms of functionality. With KACE's KBOX, we get the
capabilities we need to achieve our IT management objectives, along
with the simplicity, ease-of-use, and time and cost savings our
business requires."
The KBOX appliances save customers both time and money. Systems
managers are often forced to wear many hats throughout the day to work
on a myriad of IT functions. KACE helps consolidate these functions
providing a single appliance for all of their projects, while
delivering easy-to-use, comprehensive systems management that is
affordable. The KBOX family of appliances fulfills all of the systems
management needs of a medium enterprise from initial computer
deployment to ongoing management and retirement.
