Austin, Texas – January 24, 2008 | Uplogix, the leading provider of next-generation secure remote management (SRM) solutions, today announced Mark Piening, VP of marketing, will speak at the 2008 Technosium Conference held January 29-31 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

In line with this year’s conference theme, Enterprise IT World and Broadband and Wireless Telecommunications, Mr. Piening will discuss the most common challenges operational and IT staff face when managing distributed satellite-based communication networks remotely and how next-generation remote management can help reduce the expense and headaches of supporting remote locations by automating routine maintenance and recovery, and improve service level agreements (SLA).

Most recently, Mr. Piening served as Senior Director for Symantec where he led the Global Partner and SMB Marketing teams.

His other marketing, sales, and business development leadership roles include Series A, pre-IPO, small cap and large public companies like Dell, DIGEX (now Verizon), and Ernst and Young.

Uplogix’ award-winning SRM appliance is like having the best IT administrator always on-site, 7×24, in distributed locations such as branch offices and remote datacenters. In comparison, traditional network management tools are not equipped to automate routine maintenance and recovery tasks because they depend on the network being available, and thus rely on people to do the work. The Uplogix solution is a new approach that significantly reduces labor costs and allows IT professionals to focus on more critical responsibilities.
