Entreda Declares 2013 the "Year of SMB IT-as-a-Service"San Mateo, CA, Jan 03, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Entreda, the cloud IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) Company, exited 2012 well-positioned to capitalize on its innovative cloud services platform for SMBs---Entreda Unify with HybridSync(TM). In 2012 the company successfully executed across multiple dimensions of its transformative IT-as-a-Service vision, including: Industry Recognition: In Q4 2012, the company received a prestigious 'Best of Show' award at the Cloud4SMB Conference (an IT Expo event) for the launch of the Entreda Unify platform. Hundreds of IT specialists from SMB organizations and trusted SMB IT channel partners, as well as leading cloud hosting providers focused on the SMB segment, received hands-on demos of the Unify platform at the event. A video interview from the event can be seen at Entreda.com. Technology Validation: In 2012, Entreda Unify's innovative cloud-managed appliance model---a model well-aligned with the emerging XaaS (everything-as-a-service) wave of technology adoption---clearly emerged as the model of choice for leading technology companies. For example, Cisco's Q4 $1Billion plus acquisition of networking vendor Meraki strongly illustrates the vitality and market potential of the cloud-managed model (refer to citation 1 below). Entreda is taking this now-proven model in a powerful new direction for SMBs, integrating a suite of must-have IT infrastructure services into a unified offering available on a pure OPEX model. SMB & Partner Engagement: In Q4 2012, Entreda ramped up SMB user engagement of the Unify subscription service, introducing a Free-of-Charge Pilot Program for qualified SMB 'nano-enterprises' committed to IT silo reduction and cloud-powered innovation. This program is also available for qualified cloud services partners of Entreda in targeted categories, including IaaS hosting partners and SMB-focused MSPs. Under the program, qualified participants gain access to the complete Entreda Unify suite of IT-as-a-Service functionality, including cloud-managed WiFi, firewall, VPN, 2-tier backup/recovery, network and endpoint monitoring, online help and more. Current Pilot participants represent multiple 'nano-enterprise' segments including healthcare, legal services, financial services and engineering services.
