Intronis, Inc., a provider of world-class backup and data
protection solutions for the IT channel, today radically transformed how IT
service providers will market, price, and ultimately sell data protection
solutions by introducing a new, flat-fee unlimited cloud and unlimited local
storage pricing plan.
Available now, the Intronis U2 Plan enables managed
service providers (MSPs) and value-added resellers (VARs) to proactively
address all their customers' data storage and data protection needs with a
single solution that is supported by a simplified pricing strategy. With a
fixed monthly cost for access to the entire Intronis ECHOplatform, channel
partners are freed from the limitations of the industry's legacy
cost-per-gigabyte pricing and associated storage limits. Simultaneously, the
new plan empowers IT service providers to generate greater business
opportunities by shifting the conversation from the commodity value of storage
to a more strategic discussion centered on the appropriate data protection
strategy for their clients' business requirements.
"We are declaring the end of the legacy ‘per gigabyte'
pricing models that have long been the norm in our industry," said Rick Faulk,
CEO, Intronis. "In today's rapidly evolving market, it no longer makes sense
for our partners to be forced to justify the price of their services ‘by the
gig.' Moving forward, our partners will be able to focus on delivering valuable
data protection services with a predictable monthly cost. This will generate a
massive transformation in how our partners go to market, and create more
opportunity to grow their revenues and profits."
"By removing the variability of storage-based pricing,
Intronis is providing me with greater flexibility in how I price backup to my
customers. Now I can maximize both the data protection services I provide my
customers and the profit potential for my business," said Larry Phelps, Vice
President of Sales at Solbrekk Business Technology Solutions, an IT service
provider and Intronis partner based in Minneapolis, Minn.
Unlimited Cloud and Unlimited Local Storage Create
Unlimited Opportunity According to the recent Intronis Cloud Study, one of the
top reasons businesses and IT professionals cannot restore data after a loss
occurs that the data was not properly backed up to begin with. By advancing its
technology and simplifying the pricing and delivery process, Intronis is
empowering its channel partners to easily expand the data protection strategies
of their SMB clients and eliminate the need to pick and choose what data should
be protected.
The new flat-rate, monthly Intronis U2 Plan also
introduces greater flexibility, predictability and profit potential for channel
partners. By fixing costs on the back end and expanding its solution, Intronis
is enabling its channel partners to use the Intronis ECHOplatform to deliver
customizable services that will help increase their revenue potential and scale
their profit.
Announced today, the new Intronis ECHOplatform delivers
the industry's most secure, scalable and comprehensive cloud backup and data
recovery solution-supporting a variety of in-demand services, plug-ins, and
extensions such as physical imaging, VMware and Hyper-V, and SQL and Exchange
backup. Engineered to simplify delivery of cloud backup and data protection
services for channel partners, the new all-in-one platform features an open
API, seamless integration with today's leading professional service automation
(PSA) and remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools, and a robust management
portal that provides a single pane of glass view of all account activity.
"The combination of the new U2 Plan and the Intronis
ECHOplatform delivers an unbeatable value proposition that channel partners can
easily extend to their customers," summarized Faulk. "These seismic moves
represent big wins for our existing channel partners, and without question,
this breakout go-to-market strategy will bring greater advantage to our channel
partners and radically change how they price and deliver services."
