dinCloud has launched a white-label solution for channel partners to brand its online cloud orchestration and management platform, dinManage, to enable custom configuration of their customers’ private virtual data centers securely in the cloud.
Value added resellers, managed service providers, systems integrators, consultants, dealers and agents looking to offer turnkey, automated business provisioning services without upfront investment can use the platform to reduce the time required to add hosted virtual desktops and virtual servers into a customer’s IT infrastructure. Partners can gain full access to a customer’s IT environment, including desktops, servers, storage and network security resources, in minutes. Partners can also integrate their existing services into the platform.
The solution also offers the ability to give end-customers a self-provisioning tool – customers can go online and submit additional orders to change or augment servers, desktops and networking.
“By offering our services as a white label solution, we are able to provide more support to the channel by arming our partners with the tools they need to increase their bottom line and make them more competitive,” said Kevin Schatzle, CEO at dinCloud. “Since dinCloud is 100 percent channel focused, it’s important to make our partners efficient. The mutual partnership is a win-win – as they grow, we grow.”
The solution also offers a range of features, including the ability to offer custom hosted server bundles based on various memory, storage and CPU combinations; a custom online branded portal with unique URLs and a branded look and feel; the ability to manage multiple data centers and its components (firewall, VPN, servers, desktops) from one dashboard; and an administrative portal for partners to manage customer orders, generate and view monthly usage and billing reports.
“dinCloud is a good example of a number of converging trends in infrastructure and IT services. It provides a service delivery model and a range of infrastructure services that can help IT services providers get to market faster with a comprehensive offering,” said Carl Brooks, research analyst at 451 Research.
