KACE Expands Presence in Asia Pacific Region Through Significant Customer Wins
Leader in Systems Management Appliances Takes Solution Across the Globe to Save Customers Time and Money
SINGAPORE – January 16, 2008 – KACE™, 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.
