Network Engines, Inc. a leading provider of server appliance products and services for storage, security and communications software vendors, today announced its new corporate identity: NEI.

“The new name and logo is designed to reflect the firm’s “Go Forward” strategy and unify the employees of Network Engines after its recent acquisition of Alliance Systems”, said Greg Shortell, NEI president and CEO. “As the industry’s leading pure-play provider of high value-add appliance solutions, NEI has fused its core strengths to better deploy product with best-in-class ALM (Appliance Lifecycle Management) services and back-office logistical support.”

Hugh Kelly, NEI’s senior vice president, added, “Our customers demand an application delivery platform that reduces their total cost of operation. Unlike competing high-volume integrators and contract manufacturers, NEI delivers the broadest range of hardware, software and services to help our customers provide the best possible product. NEI is also a natural extension of our existing brand, since many of our OEM and software/systems integrator customers and partners already refer to us as NEI.

So this reaffirms our commitment to them as a trusted source of complete appliance solutions.”
