BUSINESS WIRE - Moonwalk Inc.is significantly expanding its reseller channel in the U.S. for its Moonwalk 6.0 software suite. TLG's unsurpassed experience in opening and cultivating channel relationships will ultimately provide customers with the greatest access to and support for Moonwalk's ground breaking data management solution.

Moonwalk has partnered with The Lauffin Group to recruit resellers who will make the Moonwalk software available as a standalone offering or integrated with hardware solutions. As an information lifecycle management (ILM) system with powerful capabilities and intelligence, Moonwalk is ideally suited for resale into enterprise environments with tiered storage management platforms where it can proactively manage the migration, copying and movement of data throughout the enterprise. Moonwalk is designed for complete interoperability with Windows, UNIX, Netware and Linux, making it ready for installation in most operating environments.

According to Peter Harvey, CEO of Moonwalk, "This is a long-term partnership with a leading expert in channel creation and development and as such we look forward to a prosperous relationship working with Diamond Lauffin that will ultimately help customers have better and easier access to Moonwalk's data protection and management software."

"With corporations looking for greater control over the management of their networks, the ability to fulfill regulatory compliance obligations, relieve from primary storage costs and the simplicity of managing information throughout the enterprise, selling Moonwalk is going to be a piece of cake for resellers who are smart enough to sign up to be the company's channel partners," said Diamond Lauffin, founder and principal of The Lauffin Group. "I believe that once resellers see how beneficial Moonwalk is to all aspects of corporate data centers, they are going to be able to translate these opportunities into closed sales in no time."

Moonwalk's stateless architecture requires no additional overhead and is completely transparent to users and applications, with no introduced points of potential failure and ensuring maximum performance. Extremely small-footprint agents, each with its own NFS client, are installed on enterprise servers to execute the policies as scheduled from a centralized management location. These agents are very light weight - for example, one megabyte for NSS, four megabytes for Windows - and are installed quickly and simply throughout the network. The agents can then stream the files directly between locations as instructed without any intervention or staging. The software is so non-disruptive it can be operational in much less time than existing technology.
