Large client contracts driving record results; projects continued sequential improvement for full year
FOLSOM, CA July 10, 2012 – RACKWISE®, Inc. (RACK.OB) (the “Company”), a leading developer of data center infrastructure management (“DCiM Xtm“) software and service solutions, expects to report record bookings and revenue for the second quarter 2012 ended June 30, 2012.
The Company expects revenue for the second quarter of 2012 to be approximately $1.2 million, a 362% increase from Q2 of 2011, and an increase of 75% from Q1 of 2012. The Company also anticipates bookings to reach approximately $1.5 million, compared with approximately $823 thousand recorded during the first quarter of 2012, an increase of 82%. Bookings volume during the second quarter of 2012 was driven by the receipt of several purchase orders from large customers who chose RACKWISE® DCiM Xtm solutions to manage their data center infrastructure operations.
Guy Archbold, RACKWISE®, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to see our efforts and investments over the last several months produce significant results during the second quarter. Our business is strong and we are attracting larger clients from both the private and public sectors. These record results demonstrate the differentiated quality of our offerings and the strength of our product sales and marketing team. The current quarter provides an excellent example of how RACKWISE® benefits from licensing agreements with major IT service providers who choose and deploy our products to manage their largest clients’ infrastructures and facilities. We have a solid pipeline and anticipate signing additional software license and professional services agreements in the months ahead resulting in continued positive improvement in revenue and bookings throughout the second half of this year.”
RACKWISE® recently introduced its DCiM Xtm offering. Mr. Archbold noted that this latest version of the Company’s DCiM Xtm software is rapidly increasing the Company’s footprint in the industry, citing its distinct advantages over competitors’ offerings, including the unique capability to manage a worldwide network of data centers from a single console. “RACKWISE® DCiM Xtm empowers IT professionals with the ability to assure reliability, discover hidden capacity, and enable efficiency within their data centers and facilities, and across their IT infrastructure. The operational and economic gains that are realized allow for potentially significant reduced time to value and accelerated returns on investment for our customers,” he stated.
The newest RACKWISE® DCiM Xtm offering includes extensive power modeling, energy monitoring and management, and advanced real-time reporting features which the Company says are designed specifically to address the increased demand for power consumption and management tools. Doug MacRae, RACKWISE®, Inc. Executive Vice President, Technology Development Group, commented, “The Federal government is implementing incentives encouraging data center operators to “green” their facilities by improving energy usage. In conjunction with those efforts, we are very excited to be working with a leading government agency and a major utility to design programs that utilize our DCiM Xtm to optimize equipment utilization and reduce energy consumption to make data centers greener.
