May 13, 2011 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – A new cloud brand offering white label products to the channel was launched yesterday by leading cloud computing and managed hosting provider
iomart Group plc.
Westcoastcloud will offer web security, cloud storage and business mail as white label products utilising iomart Group’s 5 wholly-owned UK data centres, global network infrastructure and technical and customer service teams. The new brand was unveiled by iomart at the CRN Partner Connect Exhibition at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.
Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart Group plc, said: “Westcoastcloud brings together our cloud offering and expertise to the channel in one comprehensive portfolio. It will give resellers, distributors and our existing channel partners such as BT, Stone Computing, XMA and Comet the chance to take business critical services such as email, archiving, backup, storage and security to their customers with the knowledge that they have the full management service provided by iomart Group behind them.”
One of the iomart products included in the new Westcoastcloud brand is Netintelligence. It was the security package of choice for the Government’s Home Access project which allowed children from low-income families to have access to the internet at home and is now used by 500,000 consumers across the UK. The product was awarded the UK’s first BSI kite mark for online child safety.
Angus MacSween added: “All of Westcoastcloud’s services are offered through a single control panel with all provisioning and billing seamlessly taken care of in the background, allowing sellers to focus on revenues and profits. More and more customers are embracing the cloud for their security and storage and the market is growing quickly. Westcoastcloud means we can offer our partners direct entry into that market.”
