Virtuozzo, a leader in alternative cloud platforms, has announced the release of its new Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud for the IT channel. This innovative cloud solution aims to revolutionize the cost and profit equation for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their clients.



According to Virtuozzo, the Hybrid Cloud offering enables MSPs to achieve a 20 percent profit when offering compute cloud services, as opposed to the typical 3-7 percent profit when relying on hyperscaler public cloud technology like AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure. Additionally, Virtuozzo emphasizes that MSPs can save up to 25 percent in expenses for their clients through the utilization of Virtuozzo's open-source hyperconverged cloud technologies.

Gary Morris, the Chief Technologist at Climb Channel Solutions UK, commented, "Virtuozzo is transforming the cloud landscape for the IT channel by providing more choices and removing vendor lock-in."

To simplify the marketing, management, and selling of virtualization, infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, Kubernetes as a service, and backup as a service, Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud consolidates all core cloud services into a single, user-friendly web interface for MSPs. Currently available across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, this hybrid cloud offering is tailor-made for the IT channel and hosted by Virtuozzo and its network of Cloud Service Provider (CSP) partners.

Joe Morgan, the Vice President of Cloud at Virtuozzo, stated, "No one should have to deal with the exorbitant prices of public clouds or the complexity of building their own cloud service. I faced similar challenges when I was an MSP. There were no ready-to-sell options for the cloud services my clients needed, and I had to rely on large hyperscale public cloud ecosystems or build everything from scratch. To address these issues, we developed Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud. It is specifically designed for MSPs, providing all the essential cloud services their clients require, a user-friendly interface, and pricing that makes sense economically."

Climb Channel Solutions, a global technology distributor, is leading the deployment of Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud technologies in North America and the UK.

The new Virtuozzo Hybrid Cloud IT channel offering includes the following features:

- Infrastructure, Platform, Kubernetes, and Storage-as-a-Service
- Integration with Backup-as-a-Service using Acronis
- Highly optimized OpenStack virtualization
- High-performance S3 Compatible Storage
