Egenera Inc., a Processing Area Network management solution provider, has reported profits in the 3rd quarter as well. This quarter is the 3rd one in a row to show profitability in the company’s financial reports. This was possible due to the record breaking sales of their main product, Egenera PAN Manager Software, in the 3rd quarter.  Here is what Egenera top management had to say:

“Our software strategy is paying off. We had record sales of PAN Manager Software on Dell blades, and that was even before we added support for Fujitsu blade servers earlier in October,” said Pete Manca, CEO of Egenera. “You wouldn’t buy a single-platform hypervisor, so why buy single-platform unified computing products? With our open approach, we’ve successfully appealed to enterprises and resellers alike.”

Egenera’s approach of converge, unify and simplify added up with openness of the platform, are the factors behind the software product’s success. Mostly enterprises with mixed physical and virtual server environments are opting for this solution. The main benefits expected are reduced costs, simplified and manageable systems, achievement of business-critical high availability (HA) and/or disaster recovery (DR). Egenera has also had some key product releases this year, including virtual unified communications support for Fujitsu blade servers.

The rising profits of Egenera  and other cloud based companies as Juniper Networks, IBM and EMC further confirm the bright future of cloud computing.
