Jumpnode Continues Signing Managed Service Providers to New Partner Program

Jumpnode Systems (www.jumpnode.com), the pioneer in appliance-enabled software (AeS) services for monitoring and remote management, today announced that six new managed service providers have recently joined the Jumpnode Partner Program to sell its network monitoring product.

Announced on April 24, 2007, the Partner Program has enjoyed an enthusiastic reception from MSPs across the nation due to its attractive benefits, and as a result of Jumpnode’s unique and innovative approach to serving the exploding small and mid-sized business (SMB) market.

The newly accepted MSP partners include:

 —  Bit by Bit Computer Consultants (New York) —  Digital Integration Group (California) —  Ballavance Consulting (Minnesota) —  InfoTrust (Michigan) —  Emerald Technologies, LLC (New Jersey) —  DML Internetworks (New York)      

Managed service providers are enjoying rapid growth and acceptance as more and more businesses, especially those in the SMB segment, outsource their IT and network operations in favor of focusing on core competencies. Since they service their customers remotely, MSPs typically install a monitoring system as a core element of their service, giving them access to data about network and device performance and uptime.

“Other network monitoring systems out there are generally best suited to enterprise-level customers, which is not our base, or they’re desktop-type products. None are easy to install and manage,” said Bruce Steinfeld, president of Bit by Bit. “Jumpnode’s integrated appliance and hosted software architecture makes its system the easiest to install, use and maintain, and it doesn’t require us to make a large up-front investment to start offering monitoring as a service.”

Jumpnode is a pioneer in appliance-enabled software (AeS) services — a unique and flexible new application architecture that integrates simple and quick-to-install on-site hardware appliances with sophisticated, simple-to-use hosted software to create a monitoring platform that is tailored to the unique needs of companies with limited IT staff and budgets or unstaffed remote sites.

“This product is perfect for MSPs,” said Irfan Khan, chief executive officer for Jumpnode Systems. “It lets them offer network monitoring services with only a small up-front investment in appliance inventory, and we also give them the option to pay monthly or quarterly, which supports their underlying business model.”
