Levanta, pioneer in Linux management, announced its continued expansion into the German Linux market with the formalized partnerships of leading German resellers dass IT, Basys EDV-Systeme, and Norcom IT AG.

Levanta first launched its international sales program in April 2006 with Millenux, the German-based Linux systems integrator, in Germany's southern region. Under the terms of the new German reseller partnerships, all partners will represent regional coverage for Levanta in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

"Linux system management is at the core of what we do," said Maik Aussendorf, Managing Director, dass IT Cologne. "The Levanta Intrepid M Appliance completes our portfolio of integrated solutions that we offer. We are now able to provide a complete package for Linux Server Management."

"As a VMware and Network Appliance partner, we realize that cutting-edge Linux environments wish to integrate disparate technologies," said Erwin Bartsch, CEO Basys EDV-Systeme, Bremen. "The Levanta Intrepid is unique in being able to integrate Linux management with Network Appliance and VMware to reduce implementation costs and complexity, increase availability, and facilitate server consolidation."

"Levanta's Linux Management solution enables us to provide a complete solution offering to our customers that face challenges with provisioning, implementation, and recovery of Linux servers," said Olaf Schmid, Sales Manager Consulting at Norcom IT AG.
