Arastra Announces Channel Partner Program

GRAPEVINE, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Today at the IT ChannelVision event in Grapevine, Texas, Arastra
announced the A-List Partner Program targeted at Resellers and Systems
Integrators. Designed for simplicity and ease of doing business, the
A-List Program focuses on revenue growth and profitability for Arastra
Partners.

"The Arastra Partner Program was created to enable partners to
effectively address the fast growing 10 Gigabit Ethernet data center
and HPC markets," said Mark Foss, Director of Marketing at Arastra.

Offering two levels, the Arastra Partner Program rewards partners
with higher levels of certification and support while recognizing
existing investments in industry certifications. Both levels require a
"value-add" face-to-face selling model which means fewer partners and
no on-line only retailers setting street price expectations.

"We are constantly on the lookout for technology vendors that meet
our criteria for leadership and value," said Tim Roberts, President of
Massachusetts based Blue Core Networks. "The technical vision of
Arastra engineering combined with the A-List Program will help us
address many new opportunities here in Massachusetts."

The Arastra Partner Program also includes on-line certification
training, additional discounts off demo equipment and profitability
protection to allow partners to effectively focus on the high growth
10 Gigabit Ethernet market.

"Demand for server attached 10 Gigabit Ethernet is really
beginning to take off," added Roberts. "We are very pleased to offer
our customers a best-in-class solution from Arastra."

Arastra products are available today to U.S. based partners.
