Offering Private Cloud Platforms - MSPs
Cloud Geeni has a supportive partner community featuring resellers selected based on their skill sets and overall fit with the company’s product and brand. We consider our partners to be part of the team.
We don’t just become the infrastructure provider; we work closely with our partners to ensure that their clients receive the most appropriate and effective end solution to meet their business needs.
“Cloud Geeni provides partners with the tools and knowledge to provide the best solutions to their end clients,” says Conor Marken, Sales Director at Cloud Geeni.
For example, you might have clients looking to move their legacy applications off-site, or they maybe struggling with the complexities of offering and facilitating remote working for their employees.
How can you, as our partner, leverage our private cloud managed service solutions for your clients?
Adopting a private cloud infrastructure for your end user removes the need for costly servers and infrastructure maintained in-house. Notably, the solution is flexible and offered to your clients on a pay-as-use basis, which creates a revenue stream that continues to grow as your client’s business grows.
The solution is widely cost effective, as your client pays only for the resources they need at the time. Coupled with the elastic nature of the cloud, fully managed private cloud infrastructure removes complexity whilst offering flexibility and scalability.
In addition to private cloud infrastructure as service, our partners can provide Cloud Geeni Desktop as a Service for their clients with a hybrid workforce. The solution removes the need to manage and install operating systems on each individual device within the company. Cloud Geeni’s Desktop as a service also disproves the need for costly, time-consuming VPNs, freeing your clients from unnecessary burdens.
