Netuitive, Inc., the leading provider of self-learning performance management software, announced today that it is expanding its presence in Europe with the appointment of Jorgen Johansen as senior director of sales and Neil MacGowan as director of Technical Services.
Johansen was most recently with Dell, as part of the Equalogic Division for the Nordic region, where he established the company’s virtualized storage business and produced 300% annual revenue growth. Prior, Johansen was sales manager for EMEA at Brocade Communications.
MacGowan has worked at Netuitive as technical director in the United Kingdom since and previously was with HP Mercury as director of technology for Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“These are two seasoned sales veterans who have a deep understanding of the European market,” said Nicola Sanna, president and CEO at Netuitive. “Because they’ve built successful enterprise software companies there before, I fully expect that Europe will represent a large part of our revenues in 2010.” As part of its European expansion plan, Netuitive is seeking to partner with leading systems integrators that have experience in building virtual data center and cloud computing platforms.
Enterprise virtualization management has been a significant growth driver in 2009. As a result, Netuitive is anticipating to double sales in the current fiscal year. In September, Netuitive competed against 40 other technology vendors to win the “Best Product” award in Virtualization Management at the VMworld Conference in San Francisco.
“Virtualization and cloud computing represents a new paradigm in application delivery, which is also driving the requirement for a new type of performance management,” says Sanna. “Netuitive is uniquely positioned to fill this gap and we feel the time to strike is now.”
Netuitive is the leading provider of self-learning performance management software. Based on nine patented technologies resulting from 20 years of academic and commercial research and development, Netuitive products replace human guesswork with automated mathematics and analysis to improve performance of systems, business services and virtual infrastructures. Hundreds of customers have confirmed that Netuitive delivers return on investment in as little as two months. Netuitive has received many industry accolades, including the 2009 “Best of VMworld” Award for Virtualization Management. For more information

Mumbai, NComputing Inc., the global leader in ultra-low cost computing announced that it has completed the installation of 10,000 of its thin-client systems in 1,000 adult learning centers in partnership with the Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited (MKCL), a public sector company established by the Government of Maharashtra, India. In addition, the two organizations announced plans to computerize 5,000 additional centers across India in the next two years.MKCL’s mission is to help the people of Maharashtra join the knowledge economy by providing world-class IT literacy and skills through a network of more than 5,000learning centers. The learning centers are operated by small and medium IT enterprises and educational institutions to provide IT literacy, community development, and eGovernance services to the citizens.MKCL needed a low-cost, energy-efficient computing platform for its learning centers and chose NComputing’s X-series technology which enables a single desktop PC to be shared by up to 11 students simultaneously. The NComputing solution costs less than Rs. 4,000 per station (compared to Rs. 15,000 or more for a stand-alone PC) and uses only 1 Watt of electricity (compared to 110 Watts or more for a stand-alone PC).Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vivek Sawant, Managing Director of MKCL said, “MKCL’s goal is to expand computer learning to millions of learners who need these essential skills to join the 21st century workplace. Our challenge was to expandcomputing access in a highly economical and eco-friendly way and the NComputing solution was a perfect fit. We are pleased that in less than a year, we have been able to install or expandcomputing access in 1,000 centers and now plan to expand to another 5,000 centers in the next two years.”
The NComputing solution takes advantage of the fact that today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of users only need a small fraction of thecomputing capacity. NComputing taps this unused capacity so that it can be simultaneously shared by many users. Each user’s monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected to a small and highly reliable NComputing thin-client device, which is then connected to the shared PC. NComputing’s award-winning vSpaceTM desktop virtualization software provides each user with a rich multimediacomputing experience and their own computing session. Organizations typically save at least 50% on hardware costs, 75% on support costs, and 90% of electricity costs by installing NComputing.
The MKCL learning centers are often located in areas where electricity is unreliable or scheduled for only a few hours a day. In order to keep the learning centers in operation continuously, expensive generators and power backup systems are often required. By using the 1 Watt NComputing devices, the learning centers can reduce their capital expenses for purchasing backup power systems as well as operating costs in the form of 90% lower electricity bills.
“While there are many initiatives for school children to get computer training, we must not forget that there are tens of millions of adults who need computer literacy even more urgently,” said Mr. Stephen Dukker, Chairman and CEO of NComputing while on a visit to Mumbai. “NComputing is honored to support this very important initiative as it will improve the lives and job prospects of so many people.”
NComputing has been at the forefront of bringing affordable and eco-friendly computing to government, education and business organizations in India. Last year, NComputing partnered with the state of Andhra Pradesh to install 5,000 computer labs in government schools. An estimated 1.8 million children gained computer access and training for the first time. NComputing has been installed by over 50,000 organizations in 140 countries.
About NComputing Inc.NComputing, Inc. is the fastest growing desktop virtualization company in the world with millions of users in 140 countries. The company’s award-winning, patented technology lowers desktopcomputing costs, improves manageability, and reduces both energy consumption and e-waste.
