TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Earlier this month at VMware Partner Exchange 2009, Mainline Information Systems was given VMware's Technical Achievement Award in recognition of Mainline's leadership in comprehensive virtualization solution design and implementation.

As a VMware Partner Network Premier Partner, Mainline is leading the way in server, storage and desktop virtualization with more than 170 VMware certifications. "We are happy to recognize the great work that Mainline has done throughout the year in growing their virtualization practice, and this is our time to show our appreciation for all that they do," said Doug Smith, Senior Director of Global Channels, VMware. "Mainline has demonstrated excellence in the past year in providing VMware virtualization solutions to customers of all sizes, and we look forward to their continued success in bringing customers the benefits of VMware vSphere 4."

Virtualization allows customers to realize numerous benefits that are solid business technology practices and hallmarks of a sound infrastructure, but carry special significance in today's economic climate. "Virtualization through VMware enables customers to reduce the cost of doing business," explained Mainline's VP of Sales, Bill Nemesi. "Power and cooling cost reduction, reclaiming valuable data center floor space, lower total cost of ownership, ease of management, increased security and reliable disaster recovery are just some of the benefits inherent in a virtualization solution."

The capabilities and benefits of virtualization meet the challenges facing IT departments today, as well as their requirements for growth tomorrow. "Virtualization is the solution that will carry business technology into the future with a cost-effective and flexible infrastructure designed for long-term growth," stated Nemesi.
