Last week the analysts at ESG published their results from tests they ran on Akorri’s BalancePoint product.  You can download a copy of their report from here.

The guys from ESG were great. It’s clear they’ve done this before!  They showed up at the Akorri facililty in the early morning and wanted to do everything from the initial plug in of the appliance to running the most advanced analysis the product offers. Of course Murphy did have to raise his ugly head and when they plugged in the appliance it tripped a circuit breaker. Lesson learned! It’s not a good idea to plug the appliance into an outlet that already has a storage array, switch, and a few servers already plugged into it.

Akorri will be demonstrating its industry leading product, BalancePoint, at VMworld 2007. VMworld 2007 is being held September 11-13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I will be there all three days so please feel free to stop by booth #1128 and say hi.
