DRAPER, Utah, U.S.A. – March 6, 2007 – StorageCraft Technology Corporation, a provider of innovative disk-based backup, disaster recovery, data protection, migration and security solutions for servers, desktops and laptops, announced today it is launching the StorageCraft Managed Service Provider (MSP) Partner Program to give MSPs, VARs and other resellers a way to sell ShadowProtect™ disk-based backup and disaster recovery as a managed service.
The StorageCraft MSP Partner Program includes a licensing model which allows MSPs to sell backup and disaster recovery as a service. Through the program, MSPs may license ShadowProtect Server Edition™ and ShadowProtect Desktop Edition™ software licenses on a monthly basis. The StorageCraft MSP Partner Program provides a low-cost entry for customers and lowers the risk for MSPs by allowing licenses to be moved from one client to another.
“MSPs want to help their customers protect their valuable systems and data, but the start-up costs can be prohibitive,” said Mike Kunz, director of sales at StorageCraft. “The StorageCraft MSP Partner Program solves that problem by giving MSPs predictable costs and portable licensing.”
How It Works When MSPs join the StorageCraft MSP Partner Program, StorageCraft bills them each month for the total number of ShadowProtect licenses they activate. If a customer discontinues their service, the MSP can transfer licenses to another customer or deactivate the licenses. In this way, the MSP is only billed for the licenses they use. The portable license feature offers MSP partners the flexibility they need to manage disk-based backup and disaster recovery service across the entire customer base in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
The StorageCraft MSP Partner Program also provides cumulative volume discounts, including a price break on each additional license purchased. A discount applies for each additional license purchased – across all ShadowProtect product licenses purchased under the StorageCraft MSP Partner Program. This unique pricing feature gives incremental and cumulative price discounts for the entire MSP partner’s customer base.
