Chief Executive Officer Nicolaas Vlok pointed to Vision SolutionsÆ success in converging cultures, continuing excellence in customer service, and combining expertise within its management teams.
"Since the merger was announced we continue to witness increased traction and momentum in all our markets" Mr. Vlok continued. "The merger greatly enhanced our leading position, it expanded our product offerings and created the undisputed global leader for System i high availability. We have exceeded all expectations and anticipate strong growth throughout 2007 as we continue to invest in our fundamental strengths, gain efficiencies and capitalize on our organizationÆs combined talent." While continuing to develop and support all current products, Vision Solutions is cultivating a combined HA platform. These diligent efforts will undoubtedly bring exceptional value to both current and new clients.
ôSoon we will announce iTera High Availability Version 5.0,ö added Executive Vice President Dan NeVille. ôThe new design reflects remarkable reliability, usability, self-healing, performance, scalability, and backwards compatibility features. Version 5.0 truly takes HA ease-of-use and self-healing to yet another level, making it possible for companies of any size to run their HA environment with very little user intervention. In addition, this new release cuts the implementation time in half, further reducing the cost of ownership.
