D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumer and business, today announced it has formed a global partnership with ManageEngine, the leader in IT management software that offers high-end functionality of large network management frameworks at cost-effective prices to enterprises worldwide.
Through this alliance, D-Link's Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based business-class networking products will be able to be managed by the ManageEngine software suite. Both companies will work together to provide a wider and newer range of compatible SNMP-based product offerings, which include switching, wireless, security and storage product lines.
ManageEngine's software family offers enterprise IT management solutions for network management, helpdesk and information technology infrastructure library (ITIL), bandwidth monitoring, desktop management, password management, active directory reporting, managed services platform, security management and applications management, including voice over Internet Protocol and business service management capabilities. With more than 30 000 business customers around the world, ManageEngine is recognised as a leader in cost-effective, easy-to-use and highly effective infrastructure management solutions.
"We're pleased to be working with ManageEngine to bring their proven IT management software solution to our devices as a value-add to our customers," said Tony Tsao, CEO and president of D-Link Corporation. “In today's challenging environment, I am confident our customers will embrace the extended comprehensive efficiencies it provides, along with D-Link's strong business-class product offerings.”
ManageEngine enables IT managers to migrate from more expensive frameworks to lower-cost point products, presenting an alternative solution that offers nearly the same functionality found in larger, more costly applications.
“We pride our company on offering 90% of the functionality at 10% of the price of the larger management software vendors, and believe in delivering value to our customers by providing robust and easy-to-use software that nearly any business can afford," said Neil Butani, president of ManageEngine. “We are happy to be partnering with D-Link to bring our solutions to an even greater number of IT managers."
Both companies will collaborate on the design of new solutions, conduct joint marketing programmes, provide pre-sales support to channel partners and co-ordinate technical support.
