SYNNEX, SoftLayer Partner to Boost CLOUDSolv Capabilties
IT products and services distributor SYNNEX Corp. (NYSE: SNX) has partnered with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) firm SoftLayer to provide its cloud services to resellers partners through the SYNNEX CLOUDSolv platform. According to the companies, the partnership will allow SYNNEX resellers to provide an alternative cloud infrastructure service for customers that need to employ new technologies without having to invest in new hardware.
SoftLayer offers pay-as-you-go cloud computing that can be scaled to meet demand without long-term contracts. CLOUDSolv will offer SoftLayer’s managed and dedicated hosting plans, giving end users access to cloud computing, storage and content delivery.
SYNNEX launched CLOUDSolv in October 2011 in an effort to differentiate its cloud services form competitive IT distributors such as Ingram Micro Cloud and Tech Data’s TDCloud, noting at the time that CLOUDSolv is more than a cloud aggregator service for VARs and MSPs.
The SYNNEX website describes the CLOUDSolv service as a comprehensive platform that features hosted software, infrastructure, unified communications and technical support services. Other partners on the CLOUDSolv platform include Intermedia, Aplicor, Intronis and Symantec.
