Virtuozzo announced the general availability of Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud, a new cloud for the
channel, which resets the margin and cost equation for Managed Service
Providers and their customers.
For the first time, Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud enables MSPs to sell
compute cloud services at 20% margin, compared to a typical 3-7% selling large
public clouds such as AWS, Google and Azure. At the same time, Virtuozzo's
open-source-based hyperconverged cloud technology enables MSPs to reduce costs
for customers by as much as 25%.
Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud brings together all core cloud services
in a single easy-to-use web interface for MSPs, making virtualization,
infrastructure as a service, S3-compatible storage as a service, platform as a
service, Kubernetes as a service and backup as a service easy to take to
market, manage and sell. The new cloud is designed for the channel, hosted by
Virtuozzo and its network of Cloud Service Provider partners, and available now
at locations across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
"No-one needs today's crazy public cloud prices, or the
complexity of trying to piece together your own cloud service," said Joe
Morgan, VP of Cloud, Virtuozzo. "When I was an MSP, I went through these exact
same challenges. Nobody could give me a ready-to-sell solution for the cloud
services my customers needed. I had to build everything myself, or lock my
customers into one of the big hyperscale public cloud ecosystems. Virtuozzo Hybrid
Cloud was built to overcome all of those problems. One cloud, designed for
MSPs; all of the core cloud services an MSP's customer needs; one easy-to-use
interface; and pricing that actually makes sense for today's economy."

point that is palatable to both the customer and provider that also delivers
