News: Web Hosted Microsoft OCS 2007 Services, Debut at BizCom
Raleigh, North Carolina - (The Hosting News) - August 13, 2008 - Hosted enterprise-class Internet solutions firm, BizCom Web Services, Inc., has debuted its Hosted Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 solution.
Offered as an add-on to BizCom's Hosted Exchange Service, this winning combination of advanced communications functionality and outsourced management gives small- to medium-sized businesses the ability to implement a fully unified, enterprise-class communications platform for minimal cost.
Don Rodger, Vice President of BizCom Web Services noted, ''In today's extended workplace, productivity and efficiency depend on fast, reliable, and secure communications. With OCS, mobile workforces can instantly connect and collaborate with local and remote team members, confer with customers and partners, and contact suppliers-without putting sensitive business information at risk.''
Microsoft's OCS enables real-time communications, including enterprise-class secure instant messaging, software-powered Voice over IP (VoIP), and audio and video web conferencing. It also powers presence, a key benefit that unites all the contact information stored in Microsoft Exchange to enable real-time employee monitoring and communication. This, coupled with BizCom's Hosted Archiving Solutions, is truly a breakthrough in state-of-the-art communications systems. However, SMBs are typically discouraged by issues of price, complex software and back-end requirements, and administrative learning curves.
BizCom's Hosted OCS 2007 service provides all the functionality of this versatile collaboration tool for a fraction of the cost and without all the headaches that come with in-house ownership and management. Key benefits include:
Instant remote communication with other organizations and users - Use an Internet connection to send secure instant messages from outside the corporate firewall-eliminating the hassles of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
- Secure collaboration - Safely share applications from work or home with encrypted instant messaging; maintain tight control over intellectual property and sensitive information with server-based audit logs.
- Total visibility - Determine users' online availability with a single mouse click.
- Robust, flexible development platform - Create and customize innovative real-time applications that can be easily adapted to changing business needs.
Mark Wiener, President of BizCom remarked, ''By integrating OCS with BizCom's Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 service, businesses can capitalize on all the technology advances that fuel the efficiency, productivity, and revenue growth of today's leading corporations. In addition, BizCom's Hosted Exchange servers are hosted in a fully redundant infrastructure that is reliable, scalable, and secure and comes with a 99.99% uptime guarantee.''
Hosted OCS 2007 plans are currently available for as little as $7.95 per user/per month, as an add-on to users of BizCom's Microsoft Hosted Exchange service. For the latest information on pricing and supported configurations call (866) 253-4316.

Stephen Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, Micro Focus noted, ''We are delighted to build on the success of last year's Micro Focus World by hosting an even bigger event for customers, prospects, analysts and developers alike.

News: Dedicated Server Virtualization Firm, VMware VIP Partner Program, Expands
Palo Alto, California - (The Hosting News) - August 12, 2008 - Virtualization solutions firm, VMware, Inc.'s VIP Partner Program, has instituted its new VMware System Builder Program, designed for selling the VMware virtualization solutions.
The VMware System Builder Program provides certain unique benefits for system builders, including pre-sales technical support, targeted training programs, and new and improved marketing tools. System builders also can leverage all the best-in-class benefits of the VMware VIP Partner Program including the Advantage+ financial incentive program, the VMware Alliance Affiliate Initiative, the VMware Going Green Program, and the ability to sell VMware's entire line of industry-leading virtualization solutions.
Steve Dallman, Vice President, worldwide reseller channel organization at Intel Corporation noted, ''For system builders focused on the server business, there is a great new opportunity for them to increase their value-add with VMware's virtualization software. We are excited about VMware's new System Builder program, which provides the necessary certified education and technical enablement resources for Intel channel partners to rapidly customize their server hardware solutions for a time-to-market advantage.''
A ''system builder'' is considered to be an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that focuses on local or national distribution. In addition, VMware has been working with leading global original design manufacturers (ODMs) to certify a wide range of one-, two- and four-socket server systems as well as blade servers for the VMware ESX and ESXi hypervisors. ODMs supply many system builders with the hardware they use to build and brand their custom systems. This existing effort from VMware provides system builders participating in the new program even more flexibility in how they make VMware virtualization available by offering a broader range of hardware options to suit the needs of customers of all sizes.
VMware system builders worldwide can sell VMware's entire line of datacenter and desktop virtualization solutions - composed of more than 20 products that run on top of the industry-leading VMware ESX hypervisor - and have access to specialized benefits including:
- Up to 10 instances of pre-sales technical support targeted to help system builders successfully integrate their systems for customers
- Online trouble-shooting courses and comprehensive technical training that helps system builders provide the unique technical support their customers need
- New marketing programs and sales tools designed specifically to help system builder partners capitalize on the market opportunity of VMware virtualization, including a unique system builder logo, a system builder community forum and sales training
In addition to the specialized benefits, system builders can take advantage of the full benefits of the VMware VIP Partner Program, including:
- The VMware Advantage+ financial incentive program, which delivers best-in-class margin enhancements to VMware VIP partners and is designed to help reward the partner's investments when proactively selling VMware products and solutions. The VMware VIP Partner Program rewards VMware VIP partners with a combined up-front discount and back-end rebate program when selling into new accounts, registering new opportunities and influencing deals.
- The VMware Alliance Affiliate Initiative, which enables partners to accelerate profitability through joint solution selling with VMware's technology alliance partners.
- The VMware Going Green Program, which provides financial incentives to partners in North America who participate in the energy-efficiency rebate programs offered by a growing number of utility companies nationwide, helping companies who virtualize their datacenters to reduce power consumption.
- VMware demand generation programs, which help partners integrate and execute virtualization marketing activities quickly and easily including pre-packaged customizable campaigns, Website-in-a-box content, RSS feeds and other activities.
Steve Houck, Vice President of worldwide channels at VMware remarked, ''System builders account for a significant number of servers sold around the world, especially to small and medium businesses, so it is important that we provide them with the tools they need to capitalize on the global market opportunity for VMware virtualization. Now that customers and partners can download the VMware ESXi hypervisor free of charge, we expect virtualization to become even more pervasive, increasing the demand for system builder offerings. To help address this, we will continue to broaden our world-class partner program, which now enables our system builder partners to more easily develop their expertise, achieve additional profitability and stimulate demand for their solutions through VMware virtualization.''
VMware, a global virtualization solutions provider, from the desktop to the datacentre. Customers of all sizes rely on VMware to reduce capital and operating expenses, ensure business continuity, strengthen security and go green. With 2007 revenues of $1.3 billion, more than 100,000 customers and nearly 14,000 partners, VMware is one of the fastest growing public software companies. VMware is headquartered in Palo Alto, California and on the web at www.vmware.com. VMware Canada is headquartered in Burlington, Ontario.
