CiRBA announced an agreement with Hyro to offer CiRBA’s consolidation and virtualization analytics software in the Australian enterprise IT market. Through its technology services and solutions arm, Synergy Plus, Hyro will leverage CiRBA to analyze client environments to plan consolidation and virtualization initiatives.

CiRBA’s agreement with Hyro is the latest in a string of regionally-focused strategic partnerships announced by the company, including Eutelia in Italy and MicroLog in South America. Similar agreements are under way with a number of other major regionally-focused services organizations in the North American and European markets.

“As these new partnerships illustrate, there is tremendous market interest in our consolidation and virtualization analytics software, not just in North America, but in virtually every corner of the globe,” said Chuck Tatham, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, CiRBA. “Our relationship with Hyro should immediately increase market opportunities for CiRBA’s technology throughout Australasia.”

CiRBA brings innovative and differentiated analytics to the world of virtualization. Its software enables organizations to transform data centers toward more virtualized infrastructure, and then powers the ongoing management of these more dynamic environments. CiRBA’s solution combines sophisticated cross-platform data acquisition with an analytics engine that simultaneously optimizes against all configuration, workload and business constraints to proactively manage next generation data centers.

“Hyro is known for partnering with best-of breed vendors, and CiRBA is no exception,” said Michael Hodder, Director Partner Alliances for Hyro. “Its Data Center Intelligence solution has won numerous awards for providing the quickest, safest path to an optimally transformed data center.”

Mr. Hodder said that virtualization management continues to be a growing area of focus for Hyro, and that adding CiRBA to its product offerings was a welcome addition.
