Mazu Networks, the leading provider of behavior-based, enterprise-class performance and availability solutions, today announced expansion into Europe by establishing a local presence in London and signing strategic partnerships with three leading integrators: Kisdata and Solution Centre in the UK and Nomios in France. Through its London-based office, Mazu Networks can better meet the increasing international demand for Mazu Profiler, the only performance and availability solution based on Network Behavior Analysis (NBA).

"Customer requests for Mazu Profiler drove our decision to cement a strong European presence," said Paul Brady, CEO, Mazu Networks. "We were already supporting several international customers from our U.S. headquarters before making the decision to set up shop in London. Through our local presence and strategic partnerships with Kisdata, Solution Centre and Nomios we can ensure the efficient and effective delivery of Mazu Profiler to the European market."

Mazu Networks boasts more than 200 organizations in its customer base, which includes companies from both the United States and European markets. The company's regional partners and local roots are evidence of Mazu Networks' steadfast commitment to international expansion and support of its customers abroad.

"We were getting many inbound inquiries on Mazu Profiler from our customer base prior to partnering with Mazu Networks," said Carl Delaney, managing director, Kisdata, an IT solutions provider based in Birmingham, UK. "Through the partnership with Mazu Networks we can provide our clients with a solution that can ensure the performance and availability of critical business services, regardless of the size or complexity of their IT infrastructure."

"Mazu Profiler allows us to provide our customers with a solution that can monitor the entire IT infrastructure from end-to-end," said Richard Pain, director, Solution Centre, an IT solutions provider based in Basingstoke, UK. "The intelligence they gain from Mazu Profiler's behavior-based approach is something no other performance and availability solution on the market today can provide. Mazu Profiler is a welcome and needed addition to the wide-range of leading solutions we offer."

Mazu Profiler provides significant value to network, security and data center operations teams by offering organizations a new way of looking at the IT infrastructure.

"The addition of Mazu Profiler to our portfolio of solutions enables us to provide customers with a behavior-based approach to performance management unavailable from competitive products on the market today," said Sebastien Kher, Nomios, specialists in performance and security optimization. "Having the ability to offer customers a NBA system targeted to their specific IT operations, data center or security needs greatly enhances the value we can provide."
