Netcordia Partners with Galaxy Scientific for Growth with Military and Government.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Netcordia, a provider of network analysis products, today announced a partnership with Galaxy Scientific Corporation to accelerate the growth of its NetMRI product line with the military and the government. As part of the agreement, Galaxy will incorporate Netcordia's NetMRI product line into its portfolio, and will work closely with a key Netcordia reseller, ITS. Galaxy has strong expertise as to the technology needs of the government and military sectors, which are successful markets for Netcordia.

NetMRI is currently used in many tactical deployments across the globe based on early success with both Galaxy and ITS. These achievements include the 35th Signal Brigade in theatre as their network productivity tool and Communication Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (CE-LCMC), as a component of the IMSE System, a Foreign Military Sale to Taiwan. Other very significant Federal agencies and large US bases are NetMRI customers.

Galaxy Scientific's presence within the Army, Navy, Air force, Marines, plus the FAA and DHS will further grow the list of government and military customers for Netcordia. Galaxy is currently a prime contractor on the $2.7B CECOM Rapid Response (CR2) contract and therefore provides Netcordia even broader market reach.

"NetMRI has both the flexibility and deep analysis capabilities to meet the location and operational needs of our armed forces," said Jim Boyle, VP for Galaxy Scientific's Army Division. "It provides a single appliance for network analysis and diagnostics that previously would require several different products. The ease of the use and user friendly interface is just what is needed for the tactical networks and application networks supporting today's Warfighter."

Federal government and defense agencies have adopted NetMRI because it is a powerful network management tool that can be used without expensive training or complex integration projects. Installation is under 30 minutes, and the sophisticated DiagnosticBase has best practices built in, automatically discovering, analyzing and making recommendation on the network infrastructure. Redeployed personnel can quickly and consistently use the product to improve network operations, and the ongoing growth of the DiagnosticBase proactively helps stay ahead of problems.

"Galaxy Scientific has a strong track record of delivering innovative technical solutions to meet needs of the government and military," said Terry Slattery, CEO for Netcordia. "Working together enables us to be both responsive and proactive to the government and military needs."
