By signing up with the Embotics Partner Program, Embotics Value Added Resellers (EVARs), Embotics Technology Alliance Partners (ETAPs), OEMs and vertical-market solution providers can employ the company's control software which is designed to identify, track, secure and manage enterprise-wide virtual machines, according to the company.

"The need to utilize server virtualization in IT environments is growing more pressing by the day," said David M. Lynch, vice president of marketing. "We help our channels understand the technology and are fully committed to providing stellar customer support, which means a lot more service revenue for our resellers."

The Ottawa-based firm provides services such as certification and co-marketing. Embotics' EVAR program is a multi-tier reseller program for partners that provide virtualization consulting and support services. The company said that EVARs can expand their solutions with its technology and receive discounts, leads, sales and technical training, as well as marketing and sales support.

The company offers several products to tackle virtual sprawl, such as its lifecycle management solution V-Commander, which aims to reduce risks in virtual servers by providing policy-based management and control, automation and operational oversight.
