Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider SingleHop has signed on Telecom Brokerage (TBI) as a master agent.
SingleHop offers dedicated server and cloud hosting. Its proprietary automation platform allows organizations to migrate or deploy workloads in the cloud by integrating its global data center footprint, remote management toolkit and SLAs together in one offering.
“We have the highest regards for SingleHop’s leadership, their offerings and flexible approach to the market,” said Ken Mercer, vice president of TBI. “SingleHop’s Bare Metal offering is a great first step for those customers looking to move into the cloud. It is a real alternative to colocation, yet without all the costs of managed hosting, and the customer retains complete control and management of their environments via SingleHop’s LEAP portal.”
TBI, which has more than 50 industry providers, said that interest in cloud migration is cresting.
“As one of the largest and most successful master agents in the country, TBI understands that cloud IaaS offerings are a natural next step and complimentary offering to their agents’ strong network infrastructure sales,” said Mark A. Mercado, vice president of channel sales of SingleHop. “TBI partners have some of the best solution-selling skills in the industry. It is not about trying to sell cloud or any particular service. It is about understanding what a customer is looking to accomplish with their business and realizing that the network and cloud are integral in making that happen. SingleHop is committed to helping TBI partners provide a holistic solution, thus delivering more value and deeper relationships with their customers.”
