April 10, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Managed hosting provider NaviSite (navisite.com) announced on Wednesday that it has partnered with Intel (intel.com) to offer a range of managed services sold through Intel's value added reseller community.
Level 1 PCI DSS Certified Service Provider! DataPipe delivers the best network & support; top tier data centers; New York metro, Silicon Valley, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai. DataPipe - Personal Touch, Global Reach.
The hosting service gives resellers access to a wide selection of services to market under their own brands. NaviSite will also provide Intel with the required technical, delivery, marketing and sales support to help the resellers in their transition to becoming managed service providers.
"We are very excited about our alliance with Intel," says Arthur Becker, CEO at NaviSite. "The hosting service offered thorough Intel and enabled by NaviSite will tap into Intel's extensive VAR network to offer the broad suite of managed services offered by NaviSite -- extending and deepening the relationship of the VAR to its customer from that of a traditional break/fix vendor to that of an ongoing service provider."
Intel decided to partner with NaviSite after the company's resellers requested for a way to enter the services area, says Steve Dallman, VP of Intel sales and marketing group and GM of Intel's Worldwide reseller channel organization.
Intel resellers were looking to "minimize the unknowns, lessen the upfront investment and lower the risks," says Dallman.
NaviSite recently signed a $10 million, 10-year agreement where it will provide colocation services to an unnamed online European gaming operator.
