New Turn-Key, Subscription-Based Services Offering Makes Deploying
Managed Services Easy, Affordable and Profitable for Solution
Providers SANTA ANA, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Asserting its
leadership in the distribution of innovative IT services, Ingram
Micro Inc. (NYSE:IM), today announced the launch of its fully
hosted Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) platform as part of
the Ingram Micro Seismic Virtual Services Warehouse. Developed in
conjunction with LPI Level Platforms Inc. (Level Platforms), the
leading managed-services RMM software product for small and midsize
businesses, and SAVVIS, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVVS) a global leader in IT
infrastructure services, Ingram Micro's fully hosted RMM platform
is now available to solution providers across the U.S. and Canada.
The new Seismic hosted RMM offering gives solution providers a
turn-key, utility-based remote monitoring and management platform
for building their managed services portfolios. Solution providers
and managed service providers (MSPs) using Ingram Micro's Seismic
hosted RMM platform will receive all necessary operating system
upgrades, patches and refreshes, as well as the hardware and
bandwidth to run the application. "The new Seismic hosted RMM
offering gives partners what other MSP providers don't -- an
affordable, easy-to-use solution for delivering managed services
that doesn't require an upfront investment in systems and
hardware," says Justin Crotty, vice president, services, Ingram
Micro North America. "By using Seismic, solution providers can
establish a profitable managed-services offering that renders a
predictable revenue stream and will ultimately work to evolve their
business models and expand their services portfolios." To ensure
the success of the new Ingram Micro Seismic Virtual Services
Warehouse, Ingram Micro teamed with leading hosting-services and
data-center provider SAVVIS to deliver an impressive, world-class
hosted infrastructure that is designed to reduce services
supply-chain costs and minimize the barriers to entry for solution
providers looking to offer a managed-services portfolio. As part of
the new alliance, SAVVIS provides IT infrastructure and managed
security services and supports the applications with two completely
redundant data centers operating at separate locations. Ingram
Micro also gains access to a full staff of certified engineers who
are dedicated to ensuring the 24/7 availability, security and
stability of Seismic partners' mission-critical data. "SAVVIS is a
world-class provider, renowned for its security and hosting
capabilities," says Crotty. "This alliance helps provide our
Seismic partners with 99.9-percent availability of their
infrastructure and managed services application, and brings Ingram
Micro's services capabilities to a new level." Since its debut in
October 2006, more than 100 solution providers have partnered with
Ingram Micro Seismic and begun utilizing the Seismic Partner
Support Portal -- an industry-leading best-practices knowledge base
available only to Ingram Micro Seismic partners. The new hosted RMM
platform has been in limited release since mid-January 2007, and
many solution providers are leveraging it to deliver cost-
effective support services without having to purchase and maintain
a hosted infrastructure of their own. "Ingram Micro Seismic offers
a winning combination for me to deliver managed services," says
Jack Gerbs, president, Quanexus, Inc., a solution provider located
in Centerville, Ohio. "With Level Platforms' Managed Workplace,
SAVVIS' IT infrastructure and security services, and Ingram Micro's
ongoing commitment to growing our business, we have the technology,
infrastructure and support needed to successfully sell managed
services and sustain a profitable business." Availability and
