Managed Service Provider Week in Review

Managed Service Provider Week in Review

By Laura Stotler

A strategic acquisition and several key partnerships topped the managed services headlines this week. As MSPs continue to expand their reach through niche services offerings, they are quickly learning about the benefits of teaming up with strong and accomplished partners.

Masergy Communications has spent the past few years expanding its portfolio of managed services and has moved into the security space with this week’s acquisition of Global DataGuard, Inc. The company offers a patented technology leveraging machine learning and expert human intelligence that Masergy is using to enhance its Security as a Service Suite. The MSP now offers Unified Enterprise Security and Professional Services as a result of the acquisition.

Cisco teamed up with Centerity this week in support of its SAP HANA Cloud and Managed Service (CMS) offering. The company is using the Centerity Monitor Solution to manage the multiple layers of its offering through a unified architecture. Cisco SAP HANA customers can now view their entire landscape through a “single pane of glass” thanks to the partnership.

A targeted partnership in the cloud storage space was announced this week between Cleversafe and Avere Systems. The companies are working together on a solution to accelerate access to data and applications in cloud environments while also providing scalability and efficiencies. The new offering will integrate Cleversafe’s object-based storage solution with Avere Cloud NAS technology.

Tech Data Corporation is distributing Peak 10’s suite of cloud and managed services powered by Cisco through a new partnership. The solutions are available through TechData’s TDCloud business solution in their Solutions Store, and are delivered as pubic, private and recovery cloud offerings through Peak 10’s 24 IaaS facilities.
