PAN Manager Delivers in the Cloud, Making Egenera’s Best Year Ever

With over a decade of providing converged infrastructure and unified computing solutions, Egenera has just reached the summit of success by making 2010 their best year ever in terms of profitability. One of the few industry players delivering this kind of data management service, the company’s growth starts to spike as PAN Manager enters the game. PAN Manager is a software that combines the simplification benefits of unified computing by means of integrated high availability and disaster recovery services for physical and virtual servers.

Pete Manca, CEO of Egenera, recollects on the things they have done to make things right in 2010, which had been a decidedly rough year for many companies in the virtual services industry. “With the commoditization of blade servers, Egenera has been able to narrow its focus to providing best-in-class converged infrastructure software to run on any hardware,” says Manca. He continues in a very excited tone with his 2011 predictions of Egenera saying, “We expect to grow at an even faster rate in 2011, as enterprises look to PAN Manager to create an agile and robust environment for the data center, while preserving customer choice and investments.”

When Egenera thought that record-breaking sales in Q3 were phenomenal, they didn’t know that the best is yet to come. Q4 made history as it pulled all numbers in superlative. The same period saw the launch of Partner Network Program, which inflated their channel sales in the open converged infrastructure and unified computing products.

Big data is living up to expectations and has already been a core focus of the first two months of the year, as seen in the annual O’Reilly Strata Conference. With big data being the hottest item today, there are several data management centers and organizations that are flourishing, including Datatrend, which recently received a Beacon Award from IBM.  Datatrend specializes in data consulting, storage and servers.

A giant in the industry, HP also hopes to bring in some competition as they offer a one-stop data transformation center that will simplify the process of designing and constructing data centers through the provision of design, construction and project management from a single vendor (if you don’t mind this type of vendor lock-in).  The growing sector around data management as a service is set to be a lucrative market, especially with data continuing to compound in the cloud.
