Hong Kong, Jan 16, 2009 – ACW Distribution (HK) Limited today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Virtual Iron Software (www.virtualiron.com), a provider of enterprise-class server virtualization and virtual infrastructure management software. The agreement opens up the market in Hong Kong for server virtualization and management with an affordable alternative to existing proprietary solutions.

Virtual Iron will be distributed through ACW Distribution’s network of more than 600 trained and certified channel partners to capitalize on the demand for mid-market and enterprise-level server, storage and software solutions. With Virtual Iron, ACW Distribution will provide an integrated marketing approach and target qualified channel partners focused on the latest enterprise server, storage and other data center infrastructure solutions.

“Server virtualization enables our channel partners to present their end-user customers with a compelling solution that can cut costs and streamline many data center operations,” said Herman Cheung, Product Manager of ACW Distribution. “Server virtualization helps end-user customers to improve the utilization of current systems to reduce power, space and cooling issues through server consolidation, as space is a concern for Hong Kong SME market.”

Virtual Iron cites 130% increase in revenues from the third quarter of 2007 as compared to revenues in the same period in 2008. The Company also saw growth in both total customer accounts as well as repeat sales within its existing customer base.
