Copy data virtualisation company, Actifio, has forged a distribution deal with specialist distributor, Nextgen, in Australia.

As per the agreement, Nextgen will further expand Actifio's customer footprint in Australia and bring to market its copy data virtualisation technology.

Nextgen managing director, John Walters, said the combination of specialist knowledge, innovative technology platforms and services, enables the business’ partners and vendors to stay relevant and remain ahead in the fast changing IT environment.

"Actifio's copy data virtualisation technology is innovative because it helps progressive IT organisations solve old technology problems with new solutions. By eliminating multiple physical data silos and simplifying data management, it can deliver significant costs savings and business benefits to customers," he said.
