Verari Systems, a premier developer of independent blade-based computing and storage platforms for the data center with the highest density, availability, and energy efficiency in the market, today announced the opening of a sales office in Hamburg, Germany to strengthen its European sales network and broaden local customer service capabilities.

“By opening a new office in Germany, we can manage the increasing demand for our popular energy-efficient blade-based computing and storage products and expand our sales and customer service capabilities across Europe,” said Dr. Juergen Kratz, Verari Systems Germany managing director and country manager. “Our presence in Germany will also forge stronger customer relationships at a local country level and improve our ability to respond to customer needs.”

Verari Systems’ new Hamburg office will complement its existing European headquarters in London and provide greater geographic coverage and access for its customers. With innovations such as the recent addition of Intel’s X-25M SATA solid state drives (SSDs) into its BladeRack® 2 X-Series platforms, Verari Systems is helping its customers save energy and reduce IT overhead and provide healthy, eco-conscious environments.

“Our goal is to develop a strong pipeline and expand our European market share by building recognition of Verari Systems’ brand and product quality that we are already well known for in the U.S.,” said Thilo Amann, director of sales and marketing, Verari Systems. “One of our greatest differentiators is our industry-leading patented Vertical Cooling Technology™ that allows us to provide our customers solutions with the highest density and availability on the market today with dramatically less power and cooling operation requirements.”
