ISELIN, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- i3 Software, a global provider of IT services and customized application solutions and Datatrend Technologies, Inc., a leading IT solutions provider, announced a strategic partnership to provide integrated Infrastructure Management Appliance Solutions built on IBM's BladeCenter platform and the Tivoli Automation software suite, including Netcool.

The partnership combines the best-in-class appliance building services of Datatrend Technologies with i3 Software's industry-leading expertise and integration services to deliver a completely integrated, real-time IT Infrastructure Management appliance solution that helps customers gain better visibility into sprawling IT environments and more efficient operational control. Designed to provide customers with an all-in-one, end-to-end IT infrastructure management solution, the appliances can be easily extended to address specific industry needs or technology domains.

"The key drivers behind our solution were improved service to internal and external clients, cost reduction, proactiveness, and ease of deployment within the IT infrastructure," said Charles LeRoy, i3 Software's Worldwide Director of Business Development. "By partnering with Datatrend, we're able to leverage our deep experience in IBM Tivoli Netcool and other Tivoli Automation Software solutions along with developing customized applications with Datatrend's track record in designing and integrating server appliances on the latest IBM systems to deliver a comprehensive, modular, and agile solution that will always be able to meet the demands of the business."

The new Infrastructure Management Appliance will provide customers with the needed insight to act quickly, make faster decisions, and fix problems before they impact their business. By using centralized information to gain the necessary insight, the infrastructure management solution enables customers to reduce costs, eliminate errors, and improve operations through automation.

"The appliance server solution market continues to be an exciting growth engine for Datatrend," said Darren Waldrep, Datatrend's Vice President of Strategic Alliances. "We're committed to providing the market with complete solutions that offer a smooth deployment and faster time to value. IT managers everywhere are being challenged to do more with less and appliance solutions are much easier to install, run, and manage than mix and match hardware and software solutions."
