It seems everyone’s got their head in the clouds these days — and for good reason. Cloud services can go along way in reducing onsite storage needs and driving down costs, but more than a few VARs are struggling to turn cloud technology into actionable solutions. Cloud infrastructure management specialist 6fusion’s partner program is designed to address that roadblock, offering a brand new Cloud Reseller program tailored to VARs serving midsize businesses and enterprise customers.

The program targets resellers dealing with on-premise cloud solutions, with technology training, demo licenses, sales and marketing support, co-marketing development funds and sponsored events as part of the package. The company is also putting significant emphasis on developing utility-metering solutions based on Cloud Resource Meter, which allows users to evaluate the cost of running vSphere 4.1 or 5.0 environments in the cloud, as well as private and hybrid cloud solutions centered on the Enterprise iNode cloud management offering.

6fusion’s revamped Cloud Service Provider program, aimed at managed service providers and IT service providers working with SMB clients, offers expanded resources for marketing support, sales tools and access to the iNode Network — 6fusion’s multitenant cloud — and its self-service UC6 Cloud Platform. Partners also have access to a package of technical- and business-focused support tools, including marketing tools, profiling tools, TCO reports, white papers, case studies and benchmarks.
