Troye partnership introduces hot new technology
“ We believe there is a good revenue opportunity, especially for managed services providers that cannot afford to purchase the full cloud infrastructure,” said Craig Freer, Executive Head of Cloud and Managed Services at Vox.
Since the launch of its Virtual Data Centre offering in 2017, Vox has seen a significant uptake by customers and believes that by extending availability to its channel, that more companies can leverage the power of the cloud to transform their business.
“ We do still have customers that work directly with us and this is unlikely to change, but we are keen to grow our channel and extend our solutions footprint,” added Freer.
Channel partners that are interested in offering VDC to their customers can contact Vox to find out how to benefit from this offering.
“ Finding ways to empower the channel to sell solutions and services like our Virtual Data Centre means we can grow a thriving and profitable ICT eco-system that is based on value and value-for-money,” said Freer.
