Expanding its cloud services portfolio, the Services Division of
Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today unveiled four new cloud-based,
managed service offerings available now to channel partners
throughout North America.
Previewed earlier this week at the Ingram Micro 2011 Spring
VentureTech Network (VTN) Invitational, the new cloud service
offerings are managed by industry leaders IBM and Intermedia and
include:
- IBM Smart Business Cloud Enterprise - The first
compute-on-demand service available within Ingram Micro's cloud
services portfolio, IBM's infrastructure-as-a-service offering
enables channel partners to provide customers quick access to a
security-rich, enterprise-class virtual server environment on the
IBM Cloud. This offering supports development and test activities,
as well as other dynamic production workloads.
- IBM Managed Backup Cloud - Fast Protect Online - A
security-rich, affordable offsite data backup solution that
protects critical user data -- stored on laptops and desktops --
against loss and corruption, offering virtually continuous,
scalable protection along with easy-to-use restore
capabilities.
- IBM Managed Backup Cloud - Remote Data Protection - A managed,
offsite data backup and recovery solution for servers that is
designed to be automatic, secure and reliable.
- Intermedia Hosted PBX - A hosted, business-grade, VoIP
telephone service that integrates with Intermedia's hosted Exchange
offering and can be managed remotely from a single control panel.
It offers such features as "click to call," hunt groups, OCS
calling, unique extensions, unlimited calling to the U.S. and
Canada, "voicemail to email" functionality, international calling,
music on hold and toll-free numbers. The new Intermedia hosted PBX
offering is the first VoIP offering featured within Ingram Micro's
cloud services portfolio.
Solution providers and managed service providers can purchase
the new Ingram Micro compute-on-demand, backup cloud and hosted
VoIP service as part of the distributor's growing IT cloud services
portfolio, which can be found at www.ingrammicrocloud.com.
"Cloud-based services such as compute-on-demand, backup and
hosted VoIP represent significant business opportunities for
channel partners and offer a great entry point for demonstrating
the power, convenience and cost savings of cloud computing to
business owners," says Renee Bergeron, vice president, managed
services and cloud computing, Ingram Micro North America. "We're
thrilled to expand our relationships with IBM and Intermedia and
bring to market high-value business services that make it easy for
resellers to buy and sell cloud services to their end users."
As a master aggregator of cloud services, Ingram Micro is
building the IT industry's most comprehensive portfolio of cloud
services available to channel partners throughout North
America.
"Cloud computing is the future of IT services, and as the
trusted business advisor to thousands of solution providers and
MSPs, it's our mission to ensure the IT channel remains at the
forefront of the cloud movement and has the tools, technologies,
services and resources necessary to thrive in this new IT
