OpSource Redefines Strategy and Extends Application Management and ...

OpSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise cloud and managed hosting, today announced that it has redefined its strategy to better address the needs of enterprises and the channel. OpSource has restructured its product portfolio and developed customized solutions to enable its customers to use both cloud and managed hosting services together to support more complex IT requirements. Additionally, the company has introduced the OpSource Partner Ecosystem partner program to deliver joint solutions.

"In order to be more flexible and cost-efficient, CIOs must be able to use cloud computing resources and SaaS applications as easily and securely as internally-managed resources," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "More than 30% of our managed hosting customers with dedicated environments also use our pay-as-you-go cloud services. At the same time, more and more of our OpSource Cloud customers were asking for help to scale their mission-critical applications running on the cloud. It just made sense to integrate our product portfolio."

OpSource has reorganized its offerings into services and solutions.
Services now include:

• OpSource Managed Hosting: a bundled managed service including colocation, network connectivity, dedicated or virtual servers, operating system management, storage, firewalls, load balancers, and backup infrastructure
• OpSource Cloud Hosting: a pay-as-you-go service that includes a virtual server, Linux or Microsoft Windows operating system, CPU, RAM, storage and customer-configurable VLAN, firewall, and load balancer
• OpSource Application Operations: application management services including Database Management, Change Management, Performance Management, Application Optimization and Compliance
• OpSource Business Operations: business tools that simplify billing, analytics and customer support

Customized solutions include:

• SaaS ISV Solutions: Cloud and Managed Hosting services paired with Application Operations and Business Operations to scale operations and shorten time to market
• Telecom Solutions: White Label resale of the OpSource Cloud with Business Operations billing integration
• Cloud Platform Solutions: integration of the OpSource Cloud into Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions

"Many enterprises are beginning to see the intrinsic value of sourcing both managed hosting, colocation and cloud infrastructure service from a single provider," said Ted Chamberlin, Gartner Research Director. "Managed service providers who understand this trend, and offer these services with a single pane of glass management tools, will be the long term winners in the hosting market."

To support its new focus, OpSource today announced the OpSource Partner Ecosystem, a comprehensive new partnership program. This program expands the company's commitment to its partners by providing benefits for: developers and consultants; cloud platforms; integrators and MSPs; telecoms; and distributors and resellers.

"OpSource really understands how to help its partners make the most of the cloud, offering customized solutions like white labeling," said NTT America Vice President of Products and Solutions Doug McMaster. "Working with OpSource we were able to quickly and easily build the NTT America Cloud, which not only brings our customers a leading cloud offering but also demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with as complete and competitive hosting portfolio as possible."
