CloudRunner today announced a new resale relationship with Dell Software, enabling Dell Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to leverage the CloudRunner platform to drive cloud solution adoption among SMB customers. The Dell CloudRunner platform allows MSPs to instantly deliver hosted high-value business applications, along with end-user management, technical support, and monthly service billing to their customers.
The platform features an easy-to-use interface that allows virtual desktops to be provisioned instantly by end users in a self-service approach. The solution features a vast library of applications packaged and available for speedy deployment. In addition, CloudRunner’s platform value, combined with Dell’s SMB solutions, creates a powerful combination of solutions now available to Dell’s MSP partner ecosystem.
“Self-Service is the key to the CloudRunner platform. We’ve created a quick and easy way for MSPs to instantly deploy virtual desktops on a mass scale without expensive engineering departments and expensive hardware costs,” John Gorst, CEO of CloudRunner, explains. “Our application marketplace already includes more than 600 client server applications and it’s constantly expanding.”
With the addition of CloudRunner, Dell continues to expand its IT-as-a-service offerings to MSP partners. Dell Software has worked closely with CloudRunner to ensure that this comprehensive solution is specifically focused on enhancing MSPs’ status as a trusted technical advisor to accelerate customer cloud adoption.
"We're excited about partnering with CloudRunner to enable MSPs to deliver a click-together consumer-based experience for SMB IT needs," explained Darrin Swan, director of Worldwide Sales and Business Development, Dell Service Provider Program. "With CloudRunner, our MSPs automate commodity IT services so their customers can focus on their core businesses and leave IT management to the experts."
