Gibraltar Solutions Announces Expanded Partnership with Microsoft and Citrix

Mississauga, Ontario, October 8, 2010 – Gibraltar Solutions, announced today that the company is working with Microsoft and Citrix in an expanded scope through the global partnership called V-Alliance to deliver a comprehensive set of virtualization solutions to address customers’ desktop and server virtualization needs.

Recognized as a pioneer and Ontario’s leading virtualization solution provider, Gibraltar looks forward to working with Citrix and Microsoft, through V-Alliance, to bring the transformational power and benefits of virtualization and cloud computing to customers in Ontario and Canada.

“Gibraltar is extremely pleased to be named as a contributing member of the V-Alliance,” said Don Lee, CEO of Gibraltar. "As a member of V-Alliance, Gibraltar will have unprecedented access to Citrix and Microsoft tools and resources that might have been labeled as ‘internal only.’ This incremental access will enhance the already very deep relationships between our collective engineering teams and ultimately bring more value to virtualization customers and end users in Ontario.”

“Since Gibraltar’s inception in 1996, virtualization technology has been a strategic area of focus. This makes today’s announcement to further expand the scope of cooperation with leading virtual computing providers like Citrix and Microsoft an exciting one for Gibraltar,” said Brad Henderson, COO of Gibraltar. “I am especially excited since cooperation opportunities such as V-Alliance will ultimately allow Gibraltar to build and bring better integrated virtual solutions to the market."

“We are continually looking for ways to work with Microsoft to add value to our joint channel,” said Tom Flink, vice president, Channel and Emerging Products for Citrix. “V-Alliance is the latest effort to do just that. This program will give our joint partners the information and resources they need, so they may more effectively deliver the kinds of virtualization solutions that the market is looking for.”

Ross Brown, vice president, Worldwide Partner Sales at Microsoft Corp said, “The Microsoft-Citrix relationship, which goes back more than two decades, has always been about delivering solutions that enable our customers to be more productive. V-Alliance is our latest effort to ensure that our joint partners around the world are always fully equipped to deliver the broadest array of virtual computing solutions to the market that only Microsoft and Citrix can offer.”
