Applied Innovation Becomes Microsoft Tier-1 Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), Streamlining Azure Billing and Support for Customers
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) September 29, 2015 -- Applied Innovations, the leading provider of managed cloud hosting on top of the Microsoft server platform, has made it easier for customers to manage their public clouds and hybrid clouds through its participation in the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.
Through the CSP program, Applied Innovations can now not only offer Azure services to their customers and manage the lifecycle of its own customers but be the single point of contact for direct provisioning, billing, and 24/7 phone and email support of Microsoft cloud services.
When combined with onpremises Windows Azure Pack services, service providers can deliver a hybrid cloud offering based on Azure technologies.
Applied Innovations is a Tier-1 CSP partner, meaning it works directly with Microsoft, providing product and billing support directly to end customers. Applied Innovations is a cloud vendor that thousands of customers already trust, making it an ideal partner for businesses moving to a public or hybrid cloud solution.
“The Microsoft CSP program allows us to combine our unique managed hosting expertise with Azure’s global footprint and rapid innovation to deliver a global public cloud experience with the fast, friendly personalized support that our customers have come to expect,” said Jess Coburn, founder and CEO of Applied Innovations. “Being a Microsoft CSP helps further our mission of providing always available, always easy hosting services so our customers can focus on their business and provide value to their customers.”
Applied Innovations customers also have the ability to leverage Azure Site Recovery (ASR) for economical data redundancy. Geographic redundancy used to double the cost of hosting because it involved deploying the same hardware in two locations.
