Boston, MA - March 28, 2011 – Intronis has been named to CRN’s 2011 Partner Programs Guide. Intronis was also awarded a 5-Star Partner rating. CRN’s Partner Programs Guide and 5-Star Partner ratings serve as the definitive list of vendors who have robust partner programs or products that service solution providers offer directly to the IT channel. The annual list recognizes the vendors who offer solution providers the best possible partnering elements for channel success.

Intronis offers a comprehensive partner program, which is designed specifically for the IT channel. Intronis provides everything a reseller needs to deliver cloud backup and recovery to their SMB clients. The partner-friendly program includes customer support, account management, sales, marketing and the industry’s leading technical support in order to ensure the partner succeeds in their selling efforts. Furthermore, the software is a white-label solution allowing it to be re-branded with the partner’s name and logo for marketing and reselling ease and efficiency. Intronis is a reliable and partner-centric cloud backup and recovery solution, which will be there every step of the way to help increase partner revenues and margins, proactively manage the backup and recovery processes, and support flexible pricing, alerts, and notifications.

“The companies listed on the 2011 Partner Programs Guide represent the best channel programs in the market today Of those, only a few get our five-star award, based on their commitment to the channel, breadth of program offerings and services offered to their partners. Each of these organizations understands that technology alone does not make for a successful channel program. By focusing on delivering a comprehensive partner program, vendors and solution providers can work together to drive business opportunities and revenue,” said Kelley Damore, VP and Editorial Director, for Everything Channel’s CRN.

Intronis Spring Release 2011 Improves Cloud Backup and Recovery

BOSTON- March 7, 2011- Intronis, a leading cloud backup and recovery solution for the IT channel, announces today its new Spring Release 2011, which greatly improves the ability for Intronis partners to efficiently run a cloud backup and recovery business. Using the Intronis platform, IT service providers can now configure backups and restore data for their clients from a centralized web portal, avoiding time-consuming remote sessions and costly travel for on-site visits.

The Spring Release expands upon existing functionality by offering customers an easy-to-use web interface for managing backup and recovery operations. Now, instead of establishing a remote session or going to a client’s location, MSPs and VARs can use the Intronis Partner Portal to:

· Remotely create, edit or run local and remote backup sets for their customers

· Remotely restore data directly back to a client’s computer

· Quickly adjust archiving and retention rules

· Effortlessly schedule backups via a new drag and drop scheduler

“The Intronis Spring Release 2011 saved me a huge amount of time, especially on scheduling. I no longer have to call up my customer to schedule a visit or get the OK to remote in. All I have to do is look at their account from the Intronis Partner Portal and take care of their issues, “says Tom Bender, owner, Oneicon. “No need to go onsite anymore. This is a really great feature.”

“The Intronis Spring Release 2011 extends the feature set that we offer MSPs and allows them to provide backup and recovery services faster and more efficiently for their customers,” says Intronis CEO Kent Plunkett. “The Spring Release 2011 is an example of our commitment to provide the channel with the easiest to use, most reliable product in the industry,” he continued.

To facilitate a smooth transition to the new features and to provide training on the full Intronis solution to its partners, Intronis will be hosting a series of luncheons across the country starting in April. The list of planned venues includes Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles, and New York City. Click here to register.
