INX Acquires AccessFlow, Inc., a Leading VMware Virtualization Consulting Organization
INX, Inc. (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today that it has acquired the
operations of AccessFlow, Inc., ("AccessFlow”)
a Sacramento, California-based focused, expert consulting organization
focused on delivering VMware-based virtualization solutions.
AccessFlow is an award winning VMware Premier & Gold Certified VAC
Partner and is one of the first VMware partners experienced in VMware’s
new Site Recovery Manager product, expected to be available later this
year. The company currently has 30 employees of which 17 are solutions
engineers.
Commenting on the transaction, James Long, INX’s
Chairman & CEO said, "As we have been
communicating to INX stockholders over the past eighteen months, one of
INX’s key growth strategies is to expand into
a very few, very select adjacent and complementary technologies. This is
part of our strategy to capitalize on the increasing interrelation of
the IP network with data center technology. Our initial entry into the
data center market was through the addition of a focused network storage
solutions practice over eighteen months ago, and this new practice area
grew over 240% in 2007 to make up over 4% of total 2007 revenue.
Virtualization is highly adjacent, from a technology perspective, as
well as highly complementary, to both the data center network solutions
and data center storage solutions that we provide. As we chose to work
with Cisco Systems, the leader in enterprise network infrastructure and
unified communications technology when we created an expert solutions
provider focused on delivering those types of solutions eight years ago,
we wanted to work with VMware, the industry leader in virtualization
technology as we now expand into the market for virtualization
solutions. The trend towards the virtualization of data center servers
is rapidly changing how data centers are designed and operated, and our
customers are seeking resources to help them take advantage of all of
the benefits that virtualization has to offer. With the AccessFlow
acquisition, INX is adding a very complementary focused virtualization
practice area with one of the leading groups of technical talent in the
virtualization space, and firmly establishing a strong presence in the
market for server and data center virtualization.”
Steve Kaplan, President and CEO of AccessFlow, Inc., commented, "I
am excited to join the INX team and believe the addition of Access Flow’s
resources and growth of a data center virtualization practice will be
transformational to the customer base of INX. Customers are looking for
solutions organizations that can assist them in designing and
implementing data center architecture that is flexible and reliable.
Data center architecture that combines core network infrastructure,
storage and computing resources all in a virtualized environment allows
a customer to maximize the flexibility of their data center resources
while at the same time improving the reliability of the infrastructure.”
Mr. Kaplan will join INX as Vice President of INX’s
Data Center Virtualization practice.
Mark Hilz, President and COO of INX, commented, "AccessFlow
has a reputation for providing thought leadership in the area of
virtualization. They were an early VMware partner and have really lead
the market in terms of showing customers the many benefits and
capabilities of VMware. With the acquisition of AccessFlow, INX is
adding one of the leading focused VMware virtualization consulting and
solutions providers in the U.S., placing INX solidly into the data
center virtualization market segment. We intend to aggressively leverage
this capability into our other regions across the United States as well
as into our federal customer business unit.”
The acquisition closed on June 6, 2008, and was structured as a purchase
of the ongoing operations of AccessFlow by INX. INX expects the
transaction to be accretive to per-share earnings for the 12-month
period following the transaction.
