NetEnrich Launches New Cloud Practice for Solution Providers Building Cloud Computing Solutions for Small-to-Medium Enterprises(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/06/11 -- NetEnrich, the IT channel's top source for "Closet to Cloud" IT infrastructure management services, today launched a new Cloud Practice designed to support IT solution providers who have or want to build a full portfolio of cloud computing solutions aimed at small-to-medium enterprises. The new Cloud Practice uses NetEnrich's unique Service Delivery Framework to remotely manage IT application stacks and databases within private, public and hybrid cloud environments. Solution providers can use NetEnrich's new Cloud Practice to develop their own cloud managed services business, or deliver ongoing managed services for aggregated network, software and other hosted cloud services from top vendors or distributors, such as those launched last week at the Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) Cloud Summit event. NetEnrich CEO, Raju Chekuri, encourages IT solution providers to become cloud managed service providers, "Solution providers play a vital role in bringing cloud services to fast-growing small-to-mid-market enterprises -- a segment that is virtually untapped when it comes to operational IT and managed services. All they need is a comprehensive portfolio of services and a credible IT operations back office with the confidence and experience to fully manage larger, more complex IT infrastructures 24x7. Our Cloud Services Practice offers this, and ensures they retain complete control of their clients." Unique Service Delivery Framework Ensures Higher Performance Cloud ComputingAll NetEnrich cloud services are delivered via the company's unique "Closet to Cloud" Service Delivery Framework. The Framework provides solution providers a "single pane of glass" access to an end client's infrastructure and business critical applications. The fundamental technologies that power this Framework include a proprietary NetEnrich Services Gateway (NSG) and Agent technology enabling the remote management of any IT infrastructure that exists within a traditional data center (or closet), on-premise at any office location, or provisioned from a cloud environment. NSG provides an agentless deployment with built-in discovery capabilities to identify infrastructure and application instances, track and, record actions performed, and report on the Standardized Operating Procedures (SOPs) required. In addition, NetEnrich provides enterprise-class, ISO 27001-certified Network Operations Center (NOC) fully staffed 24x7, 365-days per year with the capability to perform ITIL-based SOPs and full remediation with root cause analysis to ensure optimal performance of any cloud environment.
