Cisco, EDS, and Nortel are three of the most respected companies in the industry. After extensive research on their part, they chose to enter into strategic alliances with Opsware. A win-win for all, these alliances are extending the reach and scope of our data automation solutions.

From providing best-of-breed solutions for compliance and patch management, to improving efficiency for tens of thousands of servers, to technology collaboration and more, Opsware works with strategic partners in a number of ways to extend the reach of Opsware System 6 Product—one of the industry’s only integrated solutions for comprehensive Data Center Automation.

 

Cisco Alliance In February 2006, Opsware announced a worldwide distribution agreement with Cisco, the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet. Under terms of the agreement, Cisco will distribute Opsware’s award-winning Network Automation System under the Cisco Systems brand. In addition, we are also collaborating with the Cisco Network Technology Management Group on advanced network management solutions built on Opsware’s Network Automation System.

For Cisco, this partnership enables them to offer a network automation solution that can automate management of large, heterogeneous network infrastructures and is not restricted to just Cisco devices.

For Opsware, the alliance with Cisco allows us to reach a much broader audience, and provides a strong upsell opportunity for Opsware’s flagship product, the Opsware Server Automation System.

EDS has already deployed the Opsware System in data centers across North America and Europe. Data center automation is a key component of EDS’ Agile Enterprise platform—a network-based utility architecture built in collaboration with its partners.
