Cloud Hosting

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CTERA Networks, the leader in cloud storage enablement today announced a collaboration with SYNNEX Corporation (SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services. SYNNEX CONVERGESolv group offers to its reseller and MSP customers CTERAs all-in-one storage, backup and file sharing solutions that integrate customer-premises managed appliances and software agents with secure cloud storage through SYNNEX CLOUDSolv portal. By partnering with SYNNEX, CTERA further extends its reach and commitment to the North America channel, providing new opportunities for resellers that seek to offer cloud storage services while retaining the usability and speed of traditional network storage solutions.

CTERA provides an easy entry into cloud storage, mitigating customers concerns about cloud security and performance, by using a hybrid solution that delivers LAN-speed access and end-to-end security. The solution includes out-of-the-box NAS, backup, file collaboration, and mobile access. By integrating all these functions into a single solution, CTERA greatly reduces the complexity and the cost of ownership compared to disparate file and backup server products, ideal for the limited budgets of small businesses.

Hybrid cloud storage is a major growth area, especially in the SMB market, said Clay Rogers, director of Channel Development, at CTERA Networks. By combining SYNNEX best-in-class distribution expertise and extensive reseller base with CTERAs channel-ready solution, we are creating a high-margin opportunity for resellers to enter the cloud storage space with a managed service that requires minimal upfront investment.

With CTERA, resellers can offer a managed storage service they fully control and brand. Each reseller receives access to its own management portal that allows custom service plans, remote administration and central monitoring. Resellers can have the choice of launching their offering based on the SYNNEX CLOUDSolv portal or leverage their own datacenter for running their private cloud.

Cloud computing is an important strategic direction for us, said Bob Stegner, senior vice president marketing, North America, SYNNEX Corporation. With CTERA, our partners now have a comprehensive SMB storage solution that allows them to ease customers into the cloud at their own pace. The CTERA solution offers our partners flexibility and control over branding, pricing and backend cloud storage infrastructure.

With CTERA, SYNNEX is arming MSPs and resellers with one of the industrys most complete and cost-effective SMB and branch office storage solutions, delivering the following:
