Manchester, England, 28th January 2008 — VXL Instruments, a leading global manufacturer of Thin Client devices, today announced a distribution agreement with Interwork Technologies to supply VXL equipment throughout Canada. Interwork is one of Canada’s leading value added distributors with particular strengths in security and VOIP. Interwork will offer VXL’s entire range including the Itona series of thin client devices with embedded Windows XP, Linux and Windows CE operating systems, the thin client notebook range and the XLmanage suite of remote management software. This move will further raise VXL’s profile in the fast-growing North American thin client market and enable Interwork to deliver more choice and value to its many reseller customers.

VXL is committed to growth through a strict channel-only policy and the new agreement with Interwork is a vital step in achieving worldwide growth targets. “VXL’s investment in North America is starting to pay off, and we are now seeing significant growth, particularly for the Itona range” said Frank Noon, VP of Sales at VXL, “Interwork’s substantial expertise as a value added distributor means that they are an ideal partner for VXL. Together we are perfectly placed to take advantage of the current and projected growth in the use of thin client technology throughout Canada”. The appointment is part of VXL’s continued global channel development programme and aggressive growth strategy to achieve 15% market share by the end of 2009.

Interwork has an excellent reputation as a true “value-added” distributor with a strong market presence in VOIP and Security, the latter expertise being of particular relevance within the thin client sector. “Interwork sees great growth potential in the thin client market and we want to leverage our existing expertise” said Tim Laroque, Director of Business Development at Interwork, “We have seen VXL rise from strength to strength and the commanding price, performance and quality of their products has ensured that they are now a leading worldwide brand.
