ProCloud Subscription Services empower MSPs to deliver new cloud
services to customers at an affordable price
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 6, 2016--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of next-generation open
networking solutions, today announced ProCloud
Subscription Services— a first of its kind managed services program
where businesses can take advantage of the latest wired and wireless
networking technologies at an affordable monthly price. ProCloud
Subscription Services provide Managed Service Providers (MSPs) with an
easy to use model where they can quickly turn up new cloud-managed
services for their customers. For the end customer, this means
offloading the management of their network to a trusted provider, with
the ability to easily support more mobile devices, more quickly access
cloud applications, and support high-bandwidth video content and quality
voice services, without the capital expense overhead.
“ADTRAN’s subscription services offer a real game-changer for MSPs, and
we’re thrilled to be the first to provide this innovative solution to
meet our customers’ demands for predictability and flexibility,
essentially delivering them a high-performance network-as-a-service just
like any other monthly expense they may have,” said Keith Fletcher,
chief operating officer, Speros. “The addition of this first of its kind
offering is permitting us to deliver the highest quality infrastructure
to our customers at a low monthly cost. We promote our business as
‘technology you can trust,’ and our long-standing partnership with
ADTRAN plays a big part in our ability to provide that high level of
reliability needed to meet modern business networking needs. This
revolutionary program is virtually eliminating our customer’s high
capital expense previously associated with upgrading and maintaining
their network.”
“I think ADTRAN’s approach and offering is very smart,” said Robin
Robins, IT marketing strategist and CEO of Technology Marketing Toolkit,
Inc. “All IT service providers must have a cloud services offering to
stay competitive; to that end, all IT service providers should check out
ADTRAN’s ProCloud Subscription Services, if, for no other reason, to
make sure they fully understand all the cloud solutions available in the
marketplace and to ensure they are bringing the best-in class service
offering to their clients.”
ADTRAN’s new subscription services feature the ProCloud management
portal that offers a single view into all connected devices across wired
and wireless networks for each customer. The services also report trends
on network health and data usage. MSPs can leverage that insight to
tailor services with a pay-as-you-grow model and proactively engage with
customers on capacity planning and upsell new solutions and/or services.
Additionally, service providers benefit from a future-proofed service
that includes automatic product refreshes, which is critical for all
infrastructure technology, but especially Ethernet switches and Wi-Fi
access points. With these new services, MSPs can easily grow their
business by as much as double annually, helping them to cost-effectively
create differentiated service portfolios from which they can generate a
more predictable and profitable revenue stream.
“Throughout ADTRAN’s 30 year history, we have delivered enterprise class
solutions to millions of businesses of all sizes, and across all
verticals. This success has come through tight partnerships with the
world’s top carriers and thousands of VARs and MSPs, and has placed us
at the center of today’s networking revolution where the industry is
making a monumental shift towards cloud services and applications,” said
Meggin Sawyer, VP, business solutions and cloud services, ADTRAN.
“ADTRAN will continue to build off of our successful leadership with a
monthly subscription model for switches and Wi-Fi. We are also excited
to have Speros, a long time ADTRAN partner, helping to lead the way in
bringing this unique solution to market.”
