R1Soft (http://www.r1soft.com), a developer of Continuous Data Protection products for Linux and Windows, recently introduced its Hosting Partner Program, R1HPP, allowing R1Soft partners to take advantage of volume discounts, automatic 50% off MySQL add-ons, professional public relations services and a variety of brandable marketing materials.
The program, which has been in development for the past 6 months, is intended to give hosting service providers an edge in marketing and offering R1Soft’s Continuous Data Protection to their own customers. Service providers ranging from managed hosting providers to small resellers of virtual hosting are encouraged to participate.
“The partner program is like tech support for your hosting company’s sales and marketing team. We are going to work closely with our hosting partners every step of the way and show them how to make lots of cash with R1Soft,” said David Wartell, Vice President of R1Soft, a division of BBS Technologies. “I am going to pay a professional public relations firm out of pocket to launch a successful press release for every hosting partner who joins us, and our marketing team has even developed entire sets of Web site content our customers can use to sell data protection services. The only things missing are our partners’ logo and prices.”
R1HPP will offer marketing tools, including product datasheets, press release assistance, promotional graphics and images, Web site verbiage, a partner directory, case studies, and more. Providers joining the hosting partner program before March 31, 2008 can enter a drawing to win a free full page ad in a major hosting publication.
R1Soft is the only provider of Continuous Data Protection solutions for Linux and Windows. With a world-class customer list, including some of the world's largest hosting providers, R1Soft products provide Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for over 80,000 mission-critical Linux and Windows servers worldwide. Today R1Soft is one of the most trusted names in CDP and the gold standard for high performance Linux Server data protection.
