Attune Systems Announces Compelling Partner Program and Unique Remote Scripting Ecosystem for Channel Partners


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 23 -- Attune Systems, Inc., a provider of enterprise-class network file management solutions, today announced details of its leading-edge channel partner program designed to assist resellers in providing the latest file virtualization products and services to their customers and build profitable service margins. As part of the program, the company is also announcing its innovative Remote Scripting Ecosystem(TM) and enhanced scripting capabilities, which allow resellers and customers to leverage a growing list of tailored scripting solutions created by Attune's partnership ecosystem.

By participating in Attune's Remote Scripting Ecosystem(TM), both resellers and customers can add their own customized data handling scripts to the pool, in exchange for gaining access to those created by other Attune users. The customized solutions can be used for simple tasks such as retrieving data, as well as complex tasks such as dynamically growing storage repositories as needed. As part of the partner program, Attune Systems provides a powerful set of scripts and policies and also assists partners in the development of their own scripts.

Another unique reseller program element is the new automated Symphony Report Generator(TM), which, at the touch of a button, takes all of the heterogeneous storage resource performance information (throughput, latency, CPU utilization, memory utilization, etc.) and file data usage information (amount of duplicate data, stale data, etc.) and puts it into an integrated graphical PDF report showing aggregate and individual details.

"Attune's Maestro File Manager and Maestro Remote Scripting Engine(TM) serve as a robust platform upon which partners may develop custom scripting or offer ongoing, proactive storage and data monitoring services to their clients. Developing periodic benchmark Symphony reports is a high-value service that only Attune partners can provide," said Daniel Liddle, Attune's vice president of marketing. "Although we do not require customers and resellers to share the scripts, we have found that they are willing to do so if it means they can access others. This growing ecosystem of tool development and exchange is gaining momentum and is able to take on a life of its own."

"We're pleased to be selected to Attune's exclusive partner program. The policies and unique scripting capabilities add value to our offering and make it easier to customize our solutions for each customer's environment," said Yaser E. Wassef, COO of The Harding Group. "With Attune, scripts and programs can be written on remote workstations, which then take action on the Maestro based upon predefined or custom events. You can run a script at the headquarters that polls remote Maestro systems at the customer's locations and set up scripts to automatically take action to avoid service outages or performance problems. You can even be notified when storage is consumed or server performance issues occur. Then, you can use this information to go back to the customer and proactively sell more servers or offer another service to help them balance their servers and optimize storage."

Attune's exclusive partner program also includes important elements such as:

oQualified sales lead generation and lead distribution to partners
oField-based co-selling with Attune's sales team and access to dedicated
Attune sales representatives
oOpportunity to leverage regional market development funds (MDF)
oAccount protection and deeper discounts through Attune's Deal
