PacketLight Expands Its Global Presence in the Far East

PacketLight Networks announces that is has signed an agreement with Value Added Distributors (VAD), provider of unified IT infrastructure, to be its first distributor in New Zealand. VAD will be distributing PacketLight's full line of storage extension solutions to resellers in the data storage, data management and data security markets. These products enable carriers and enterprises to deploy highly reliable disaster recovery and business continuity applications at significantly lower investment and operational costs.

As many global businesses strive to meet new regulatory compliance (such as SOX 404, BASEL II, HIPPA, etc.) for disaster recovery and business continuity, PacketLight's broad range of storage extension products covers a wide variety of bandwidths and network topologies that in turn reduce operational costs. This is achieved by edge devices located at the customer's premises providing data connectivity between separate SAN sites, whatever their distance from each other, thus meeting the distance requirements between main and back-up sites.

VAD provides innovative IT infrastructure solutions, products and services to businesses, through a network of value-added resellers, systems integrators and consultants. To offer the best data protection, backup and recovery solutions to its customers, VAD will now be able to propose PacketLight alongside its wider storage portfolio.

PacketLight Networks offers customers a range of high bandwidth services for storage, and data-over any network and any infrastructure, including SONET/SDH, DWDM, CWDM and IP/Ethernet networks.

PacketLight's mission is to allow service providers and enterprises to implement business continuity and disaster recovery applications in a cost effective and flexible way-using standard and certified technology, with no limitations on the type of network and distance between sites. PacketLight produces offers efficient data and storage handling and transporting over WDM, SONET/SDH and IP networks, and supporting the newer FC-BB, GFP/VCAT/LCAS standards.)
