In August 2006, the company announced reseller agreements with four firms to expand distribution of its DeviceAuthority software. The available reports do not establish the program’s full terms or whether it remains active today.
What AlterPoint’s partner program was
The program was a channel effort to recruit solution providers to sell AlterPoint’s DeviceAuthority network configuration management software. CRN reported that the program had launched four months before its article appeared, but the retrieved page does not show its publication date. An exact launch date therefore cannot be confirmed. CRN’s report
Which resellers AlterPoint named
In an announcement dated August 21, 2006, AlterPoint identified four new resellers: Tabula Rosa Systems, WadeWare, GLOCOMP Systems, and Network Media. The announcement said the agreements would extend the company’s reach in North America and Asia, with the resellers adding DeviceAuthority to their software portfolios. The Houston Chronicle’s republication of the announcement
What the partners were distributing
DeviceAuthority was described as a suite with three components. The historical CRN report associated them with these functions:

- Audit Module: configuration auditing.
- Update Module: implementing device configuration changes.
- Server: a secure, centralized repository and user control.
The report listed historical prices of $19,950 for a suite covering 100 devices, $5,000 for the Audit Module covering 50 devices, and $7,500 for the Update Module covering 50 devices. These are prices reported at the time, not current quotes or evidence of present-day availability. CRN’s report
A separate partnership announced in 2006
On May 31, 2006, AlterPoint and Skybox Security announced an integration of DeviceAuthority with Skybox View. This provides context for AlterPoint’s partnership activity, but it does not establish the reseller program’s benefits or indicate that either product is currently available.
