The leader in disk defragmentation software, Raxco Software, announced today an expansion of its partnership with specialty software distributor Lifeboat Distribution. Raxco’s popular PerfectDisk® 2008 disk defragmentation utility, as a result of this expanded relationship, is now available from new resellers in countries around the world. The expansion follows significant worldwide sales increases by Raxco in its first quarter of 2008.

Adding to an existing worldwide network of solution providers and resellers in the Europe, Americas, Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East, the expanded partnership with Lifeboat Distribution has already resulted in new resellers in over a dozen countries, including India, China, Russia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Panama. Both Lifeboat and Raxco believe the timing is right for this new international push for PerfectDisk.

Vice president and general manager at Lifeboat Distribution at Lifeboat Distribution, Dan Jamieson, said: “The PerfectDisk 2008 family is a perfect business and technology fit for solution providers and resellers, offering undeniable value in both virtualized and non-virtual environments”. “With the recent VMware enhancements, PerfectDisk 2008 is a compelling addition to every reseller’s best-of-breed portfolio.”

Vice president of sales at Raxco Software, Richard Moskowitz, said: “Throughout the world, interest in PerfectDisk 2008 in the enterprise and SMB markets is at an all-time high”. “With the momentum from the launch of the PerfectDisk 2008 family continuing to build, we are very excited to exploit this worldwide opportunity with a company such as Lifeboat.”
