Akorri announced that it has been awarded a GSA/FAS Schedule 70 Contract, GS-35F-0497U, for general purpose commercial Information Technology equipment, software, and services by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

The GSA Contract, which represents Akorri's continued momentum in the government market, makes it easier for U.S. federal government as well as all state and local agencies to procure BalancePoint virtualization performance management software.

"We are pleased to have successfully achieved certification through GSA's rigorous process, and look forward to helping government agencies at every level simplify management and optimize performance, capacity and utilization in their data center," said Tom Joyce, CEO of Akorri. "BalancePoint will help government IT organizations obtain a holistic view of data center infrastructure -- across both physical and virtual, and server and storage resources -- as well as receive detailed monitoring and analysis that will resolve performance problems faster, improve server and storage utilization, and help plan for future growth."

The GSA is a centralized system for delivery of products and services for the U.S. federal government. The GSA manages more than one-fourth of the U.S. Government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets. For more information go to: www.gsa.gov.
