CipherMax Launches Global SecurePartner Program
Alliance Technology and Systex Join Program and Win Storage Security Projects with Customers
STORAGE NETWORKING WORLD – DALLAS, Texas – October 15, 2007 – CipherMax®, Inc., the technology leader of enterprise-class storage security solutions, today announced the global launch of the company’s SecurePartner Program, which includes agreements with Alliance Technology Solutions and Systex to resell the CipherMax line of CM storage security solutions. The program enables VARs (value-added resellers), distributors and system integrators to sell and deploy the industry’s most scalable, flexible, manageable and cost-effective storage security solutions to help their customers protect their SAN-based data storage.
“As regulatory policies pressure corporations, financial services organizations, government agencies and healthcare providers to ensure that stored data is protected, the demand for SecureDR™, SecureVTL™ and SecureRemote™ is increasing,” said Jack LeWinter, vice president of sales at CipherMax. “This has opened up new opportunities for VARs, system integrators and distributors with data storage expertise. We are committed to helping our partners build successful and profitable relationships with customers through superior technology offerings and strong channel programs.”
The CipherMax SecurePartner Program is designed to provide organizations with best-of-breed storage security technology combined with the industry-specific expertise of leading systems integrators and VARs. This combination offers companies a complete business solution that is tailored to meet their specific needs. The CipherMax SecurePartner program facilitates strong revenue and margin opportunities for channel partners of all sizes with benefits that include aggressive product discounts, low-cost demo systems, joint marketing and lead generation programs.

“As a CipherMax SecurePartner, we have helped one of our financial services clients expand their data protection strategy to include both disk and tape,” said Margie Garza-Carlson, president of Alliance Technology Solutions. “The CipherMax solution simplified the process by providing single pane of glass management for both their tape and disk storage security. Offering a comprehensive solution with intelligent storage security management capabilities is key to satisfying our client base.”
“The architectural flexibility of the CipherMax solution is what landed us a storage security project with a major financial institution,” said Rich Yang, vice president of Business Continuity Service at Systex. “Although many of our customers need storage security, some are apprehensive to deploy encryption in a storage network because of the complex key management and SAN management activities that are typically required. CipherMax’s expertise in storage networking is clearly demonstrated by the minimal impact that the CipherMax solution has on SAN operations and the product’s well-executed key management across all network processes.”
“VARs and system integrators that are helping companies migrate to LTO-4 tape media need a cost-effective storage encryption solution that will ease the transition,” said Steve Norall, senior analyst at Taneja Group. “CipherMax has developed a differentiated solution that can solve the immediate data protection needs of an organization and simultaneously future-proof their storage security by supporting the migration to LTO-4 media and VTL deployments.”
