With several Tier 1 deals closed with government entities throughout Australia, Moonwalk Inc., the developer of all-inclusive data protection and management software, announced today that its recently closed quarter was one of the most successful in the company's history. In addition to the key sales wins, Moonwalk also received several awards from leading IT publications, and expanded its worldwide reach with the opening of an international office in the United Kingdom and the launch of an aggressive channel partner program in the United States.

Moonwalk successfully implemented its unique enterprise data migration and management solutions, which allow users to maximize their existing storage infrastructure and minimize storage hardware acquisition, at the New South Wales' Department of Commerce. The Central Corporate Services Unit and the Road Transit Authority were among a number of government agencies to place orders for the software framework, for implementation in Q1. These accounts represent some of the largest government agencies in Australia and are but one of several targeted markets that can best benefit from Moonwalk's software. Other key markets include financial services, healthcare, research and development, education and aerospace industries.

Due to recent sales successes and the company's increased opportunities through its expanded channel presence, Moonwalk has sought to expand offices internationally. Moonwalk has recently established a sales presence in the UK to focus specifically on the Health sector, building upon successes and proven applicability of the technology in that sector.

"This quarter was a smashing success from almost every conceivable business angle," said Peter Harvey, CEO of Moonwalk. "As we ramp up US and international sales and distribution, we continue to find success with installations throughout Australia. The key wins with government agencies is an indication that IT departments at organizations of all kinds are finding that the Moonwalk software solution provides an easier and better way to manage complex data relationships across their total environment. Our opportunities to present our technology to the business community - as well as our editorial awards - will help us to maintain momentum and build upon our recent success."
