    OS33, a cloud-based IT delivery automation platform for managed service providers (MSPs), announced its Quick Start Program, which provides new partners with a branded demo environment within 24 hours, giving them access to a hosted IT automation platform. Quick Start is available on a month-to-month basis for $500 per month. Partners can then transition to a production environment upon activation of their first live client.

    Designed to let new partners gain momentum, Quick Start provides MSPs with a complete cloud-based service delivery platform, along with a set of marketing and sales materials. Partners begin with a branded environment that includes access to OS33 multi-tenant cloud and dedicated application server resources. Quick Start is designed to provide a foundation for conducting proof-of-concept trials of clients' custom applications, as well as enabling the MSP to conduct real-time demos with clients and prospects.

    "The demand for cloud based IT delivery is rapidly increasing," said
    Jacob Kazakevich, president of OS33. “Partners are reporting up to 50 percent growth in their hosted IT delivery business within six months of using our platform. The MSP Quick Start program is a way for new MSP partners to quickly and easily experience how our technology along with the sales and marketing tools offer them a turnkey cloud business opportunity.”

    Features include wholesale, cloud-based IaaS, available to partners directly from OS33 to provide access to business-ready, cloud-based computing resources, a training curriculum, sales presentations, "End User
    Experience" video and other marketing materials, access to a range of sales support resources including Price Configurator, ROI calculator and others, and VMware, Citrix, Microsoft volume licensing available through OS33.

    "Investing in our partners is essential for our growth,” Kazakevich said, noting 24/7 support for partners is available at no additional charge. “OS33 technology in the hands of a competent partner is a powerful business model and an undeniable value for the end user."

    The OS33 platform consists of four critical components; Cloud Connector, Cloud Control Panel, Application Delivery, and Webtop GUI. The platform helps enable providers to have access to cloud-based infrastructure and turn it into business-ready Web and Windows-based applications. From a single interface, MSPs can provision servers, deploy and package custom applications, select from a broad catalog of pre-integrated business software, and activate third-party SaaS offerings.
