Innovative ProCloud program enables resellers and service providers
to quickly and easily launch ADTRAN branded or private label cloud
services
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 27, 2013--
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of cloud
connectivity, enterprise communications and mobility solutions,
today announced the first phase of its ProCloud℠ managed service program
with a hosted and fully-managed Wi-Fi service offering. The ADTRAN
ProCloud Wi-Fi services are a “no-worry” managed, business-class Wi-Fi
service, built on ADTRAN’s award-winning, multi-tenant Bluesocket
virtual WLAN (vWLAN®) solution.
The need for wireless connectivity is a critical and growing requirement
for business operations. As these needs grow, organizations are
challenged to not only handle the growing number of employee-owned
mobile devices, but also to connect customers and guests to the Wi-Fi
networks. ADTRAN’s ProCloud services were established to handle the
challenges that businesses face as the wireless demand grows:
-
Reliable, always-on service
-
Additional and dedicated IT staff to install and maintain a
business-class Wi-Fi
-
Ensure security as both guests and customers access the network
ADTRAN ProCloud addresses these challenges by providing ADTRAN partners
the ability to offer an affordable, fully-managed, business-class Wi-Fi
service that provides 24x7 monitoring and resolution of technical
issues, including hardware upgrades and moves/adds/changes. ADTRAN
ProCloud is staffed by ADTRAN-certified engineers that are responsible
for all aspects of the service, and provides a guarantee of 99.99%
infrastructure uptime. In addition, ProCloud coupled with the Bluesocket
vWLAN affords the freedom to migrate to in-house management anytime.
ADTRAN partners are offered two models for management, ProCloud and
ProCloud Private Label:
-
The ProCloud model is a complete turnkey ADTRAN managed service. It
provides 99.99% guaranteed infrastructure uptime and complete
redundancy, access to technical support at priority SLAs, next
business day or four hour hardware replacement, proactive monitoring
and 24x7 alerts, moves/adds/changes, and monthly management reports.
-
ProCloud Private Label enables ADTRAN partners to offer the service
under their own brand, while utilizing ADTRAN’s hosting infrastructure
and ProServices. This enables the partner to incorporate a Wi-Fi
managed service into their offerings, gain new customers and a new
revenue stream without the burden of training and certifying
additional staff.
“The flexibility of ADTRAN’s program empowers our partners to expand
business opportunities and remain competitive by providing an
international footprint,” said Todd Lattanzi, director of product
management for ADTRAN’s Enterprise Networks Division. “With the addition
of ProCloud, partners can deliver best-in-class managed network
services, and utilize our powerful ProStart and ProCare programs to
ensure the network is installed and maintained for their customers’
specific organizational requirements. As a result, businesses spend less
time and attention trouble shooting their IT challenges and remain
focused on achieving core business goals.”
The ProCloud Wi-Fi service is a game-changer for the industry. It is a
unique service offering that includes both a complete turnkey model as
well as the flexibility of a private label option. The duality of this
offering enables partners to offer advanced, reliable cloud-managed
Wi-Fi service while significantly reducing deployment time and ensuring
a recurring revenue stream. By combining ProCloud with ADTRAN’s other
private label offerings for ProStart℠ and ProCare℠, ADTRAN’s channel has
an instant, all-encompassing service arm.
