More RMM news this week as UK based CentraStage has expanded the reach of its cloud based remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform into the Asia Pacific market. According to AMI-Partners, the APAC region is expected to spend more than $15 billion on cloud computing solutions this year.
According to CentraStage’s CEO and co-founder, Christian Nagele, “CentraStage is tailor-made for the Asia-Pacific market. Our platform gives high growth and highly ambitious businesses a single, scalable solution to manage, update and secure all of their business-critical IT devices. Today’s move further extends CentraStage’s global reach and enables us to service the high levels of growth we have been seeing to date. We are tremendously excited to be in a position to offer CentraStage to such an incredibly exciting market.”
Leveraging the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, CentraStage’s offers remote monitoring and management services which include the management of servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones. CentraStage has over 1,000 managed service providers using their platform globally.
The RMM market appears to have reached a tipping point in 2013 as many companies, including CentraStage, have decided that MSPs and cloud providers have been underserved in recent years due to lack of innovation in RMM technology. As I've mentioned in the past, I view this increased activity and expansion by RMM vendors as an extremely positive sign of the continuing maturation of our profession, as well as direct evidence of investor perception that MSPs hold the key to much of the IT management decisions that take place.
