30% commission possible for Outsourcery's channel partners with new hosted product offering; Hosted Dedicated Windows Server 2008, Hosted Dedicated SharePoint Server (DSS) andStoreSafe now available

(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Outsourcery is launching three new hosted products to its channel partners offering them the opportunity to earn generous rates of up to 30% commission. Increasing the range of products available will give dealers an increased opportunity to benefit from the latest advanced hosted solutions and take advantage of the move towards Cloud computing. The products include Dedicated Windows Server 2008, Dedicated SharePoint Server and StoreSafe; Outsourcery will host the services and handle all billing on behalf of partners, making it easier for existing partners who are already benefiting from Outsourcery's hostedservices to increase their offering.

Each of the new products has a range of options available to suit the individual user, and partners can instantly expand the services they offer without any further investment, as they are easy to add to their current product range. Outsourcery also offers its partners additional benefits by including trouble shooting and technical support, meaning resellers do not have to invest time in training internal support teams or deal with inbound enquiries from end users.

New figures reveal revenue in the worldwide server market increased by 11 per cent in the first half of 2010, suggesting that more and more business are using online back-up services. The International Data Corporation (IDC) also confirmed this last month when a survey revealed that revenues increased to 7.1 billion in the second quarter of 2010, displaying the fastest quarterly revenue growth since 2003.

As well as using online backup to save money, businesses are buying new servers to replace old ones according to Jean S Bozman, research vice president of enterprise services at IDC. A Symantec survey last month revealed that 62 per cent of small and medium-sized businesses cited data loss as a key concern. In addition, 73 per cent of those questioned considered installing backup as "somewhat important" or "absolutely important".

Adam Cathcart, Head of Partner Management at Outsourcery said, 'There's a real appetite for these products in the market if the recent statistics are anything to go by.These new products provide our partners with a fantastic opportunity to earn unrivalled commission rates and offer their customers solutions that can really change the way they work for good. Outsourcery is the only company to offer complete, integrated hosted solutions which assist partners through strong commissions and support, while helping increase an end user's loyalty to an existing reseller who can now provide a complete, one stop, hosted IT and communications solution.' Dedicated Windows Server 2008 enables its users to save money by consolidating existing servers with a single, virtualised, dedicated server. Resellers will be able to provide their customers with total peace of mind by protecting them from outside threats and significantly reducing business downtime. For example, even if a server suffers a disk failure the service will remain available. The Dedicated Windows Server allows you full access to manage the server remotely 24/7, giving users complete control. Features of this product include a choice of Standard or Professional Server with the option to add advance virtualisation capabilities to run multiple business applications. Microsoft Windows Web Server 2008 operating system is installed as standard with options to upgrade as required. Furthermore, it includes security from online threats, shared hardware firewall and a 99.9% service level agreement (SLA). This is all available on an affordable budget for a small monthly fee and is potentially able to reduce costs and improve cash flow.

Dedicated SharePoint Server provides all the benefits of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) on your customers own server but with additional features and choices. No matter how large or small enterprises are, the new Dedicated SharePoint Server is the perfect solution to manage business information and processes.

StoreSafe offers customers comfort in the knowledge that their valuable business information is held at Outsourcery's secure, state-of-the-art data centre. Resellers can dramatically cut costs for customers as they will not need to install, manage or configure their own servers. StoreSafe backup acts as a disaster recovery tool which is easy to install and runs automatically ensuring that users have all information securely protected and easily located. Desktops and Laptops will have automatic back up of all files complying with FSA regulations, which is one of the key benefits that StoreSafe can offer including no installation fee and a small monthly charge. It is an intuitive software application that works on most common operating systems including Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Apple OS. It allows customers to see who has not been backing up their data or which backups might have failed. StoreSafe also offers a sophisticated recovery tool for any data that may be lost or accidentally deleted.
