Fremont, CA., May 01, 2007- KIS, the pioneer and global leader in enterprise application and network performance analysis, joined in a Partner Program with Asempra Technologies.

Asempra’s patented application-aware, file-based, and real-time continuous data protection (CDP) technology delivers resellers and their customers guaranteed application and data availability for Windows environments. Using Virtual On-Demand Recovery™ technology, an application’s data is available for use within minutes, even seconds, of recovery. The data recovered is guaranteed to be completely usable on the first recovery, eliminating the need for multiple, costly manual recoveries that often result from other technologies and products. With the Business Continuity Server, simple point and click global to granular recovery provides recovery flexibility that ranges from individual objects, such as a single e-mail or file, all the way to a complete data center. Asempra dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of mid-market IT data protection by consolidating the needs of backup, business continuity, disaster recovery, recovery management, compliance and governance into a single solution.

The Asempra partner program offers resellers qualified regional leads, priority service and support, sales and technical training, product discounts, pre-product release information, and more.

“Asempra is enjoying phenomenal growth because of our ability to protect and restore Exchange, SQL, and Windows file servers with guaranteed data usability in seconds,” said Mike Joyce, Senior Director of Marketing at Asempra. “To continue to build on our strong growth trajectory, we are expanding our efforts with our channel partners.”
