SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Solix Technologies, a leading provider of enterprise data management solutions for compliance and information lifecycle management, today announced three seasoned executives have joined the Solix executive management team from EMC Corporation, a private consulting firm for the storage industry and SAP. Craig Bradley, vice president of sales, joins Solix from EMC and is responsible for driving business development and revenue through both direct sales and channel partners. Greg Duplessie, vice president of strategic alliances, joins from a private consultancy firm that provided executive-level business consulting to companies such as Compellent and InMage Systems, and is responsible for establishing strategic relationships with technology partners such as NetApp and IBM, as well as building Solixs indirect sales channels.

“It’s all about the data,” said Bradley. “It’s not a cliché, it’s true. My customers have burned this into my brain. They tell me they have to understand, utilize, protect and preserve their data to stay in business. They also tell me the solutions that they adopt that meet those needs must help them control operational costs, improve efficiency for end users, and simple to implement and manage. These customer requirements are not easily met. At Solix Technologies, I found a team as passionate and dedicated to customers as I am, with a set of enterprise data management products that surpass our customer’s most demanding needs. We are a great team, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
