Business Wire
Cloud DC Inc. has just executed a global CSP Distribution
agreement with Citrix.
Just as Cloud DC has a disruptive Workspace technology, it is
now also disrupting the go to market for the distribution
channel.
Today’s cloud vendors and traditional ICT distributors are
disengaging the channel and leaving them disillusioned over margins
and end customer ownership. Cloud DC has seen an opportunity to
work closer together to deliver alternative business outcomes for
its partners when moving to a cloud driven business model than that
of a traditional distributor/reseller model.
“Citrix is very excited by what Cloud DC has developed. It is
the first fully federated architecture that allows our partners to
have a multi-tenanted workspace environment delivering complete
self-administration management for real time adds/moves/changes.
The Cloud DC Workspace is unique in market that presents as a
turnkey solution with low risk investment aimed solely at channel
partners. This represents new and incremental value from a CSP
Distributor,” John Carey, Senior Director – World Wide Channel,
Citrix.
“This prestigious agreement with Citrix puts the Cloud DC
Workspace at the forefront of over 10,000 Citrix partners globally.
As a result of this agreement, Cloud DC is now a distributor of CSP
Citrix licensing. Our first priority is to work with Citrix to
develop channel programs for our flagship product, Cloud DC
Workspace. Our initial focus is North America, followed closely by
the EMEA and APAC regions,” said Steve Robinson, CEO of Cloud DC
Inc. www.clouddcinc.com.
Cloud DC is the first in market that has built out the entire
Citrix Reference architecture stack on public cloud, aimed solely
at the channel. The Cloud DC Workspace virtualizes applications and
delivers them to end devices of the user’s choice. It is a white
labelled, bundled infrastructure/management layer, fully automated
and highly scalable platform purely developed for the channel as a
turnkey solution.
“Cloud DC is exclusively focused on the Channel with an offering
partners can bundle with their managed services and deliver to
their customers today. Naturally, that’s getting us pretty great
traction with partners around the world. The global WaaS [Workspace
as a Service] market is set to grow from US$7.4B last year to
US$18.3B by 2022, and Cloud DC is uniquely positioned to take a
large slice of that market. We are engaging with both the Citrix
channel and other reseller partners globally, and I welcome the
opportunity to discuss how the Cloud DC Workspace platform can
develop new cloud annuity based revenues for your business, ” said
Maureen Lindsey, VP of Global Channels, Cloud DC.
