Liquidware Labs Expands Partner Program for Industry Leading Desktop Transformation Solutions

ATLANTA and ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VMware Partner Exchange Booth #407 -- Liquidware Labs, the leading provider of desktop transformation assessment, migration, and management solutions, today announced it has expanded the Liquidware Labs Acceler8 Partner Program to make it easier for resellers and systems integrators to grow their virtual, physical and cloud desktop businesses.  Formerly known as 'Project Apache,' the newly named program has been expanded to enable channel partners to conduct a wider range of free assessments and migrations using Liquidware Labs Stratusphere Fit and ProfileUnity products.

"With so many companies looking to migrate to Windows 7 and virtual desktop infrastructures like VMware View and Citrix XenDesktop, the need for streamlined ways to transition to these new solutions has become critical. By enhancing our Acceler8 Partner Program, we're enabling channel partners to capitalize on this opportunity through new services and revenue streams," said David Burke, VP of Sales for Liquidware Labs. "The fact that the program has proven partners located in virtually every key location worldwide speaks to the tremendous value that Acceler8 – and our Stratusphere and ProfileUnity products—deliver."

Liquidware Labs Acceler8 Partner Program is open to qualified partners that subscribe to the strategic partnership program, which is designed to speed enterprise customer implementations of next-generation desktops.  New components of the Acceler8 Partner Program include:

• Expanded assessments with Liquidware Labs Stratusphere Fit:  Assess environments of up to 500 users/customers at no charge.  Partners can assess everything from the desktop and network to the data center and SAN to determine which users, PCs, applications, and servers are ready for XenDesktop, VMware View and/or Windows 7, and more effectively plan and right-size the infrastructures.  
• New migrations licenses with Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity: Available for the first time, for up to 100 users/customer. This comprehensive user personalization and configuration management solution—which separates user profiles, configurations and data from the Windows operating system—helps partners simplify and speed customer transitions to Windows 7 and VDI.
• New Sales Enablement Toolkit (SET) available on the Liquidware Labs partner portal, comprising tools and best practices for implementing desktop transformation and addressing its inherent complexities.

Liquidware Labs expanded its program to include the above components without increasing the cost of program membership.  The Liquidware Labs Acceler8 Partner Program, which is available at $2,995 per year, also includes extensive sales and technical trainings, marketing and sales initiatives, and support for Liquidware Labs products.
