2016 Channel Initiatives

New to dinCloud's channel initiatives this past year included the creation of a partner advisory council, which allows dinCloud to solicit direct feedback from its channel community. Additionally, dinCloud surveys its partners to see what areas the company is succeeding in, and any areas that may need improvement. The survey results have led to several exciting enhancements to dinCloud's flagship offering, including:

• Virtual administration services - dinCloud has taken on an even more proactive approach in the day-to-day management of its customers' environments. Virtual administration services allow partners to focus on new customer acquisitions and not the mundane (albeit important) administrative tasks.

• Monitoring and analytics - the latest enhancement to dinCloud's cloud automation portal, dinManage, which enables dinCloud partners and end user customers to configure their hosted private cloud securely, giving them complete control of their own environment including desktops, servers, and network security resources. New monitoring and analytics features provide dinCloud's partners and their clients with visibility to the utilization of resources provisioned. This allows clients to optimize and right-size the resources within a customer's specific environment. Additionally, the new features include detailed reporting on bandwidth throughput, and a deeper sense of security through the assignment of role based administration.

"While our partner community has grown steadily over the past year, what's been even more exciting is the maturity we are seeing in the market, and within several verticals - we now have many partners selling into the financial services and healthcare verticals," said Graffia. "Regulatory compliance has been a large obstacle to overcome for both partners and clients alike, however our award winning solution provides the automation and orchestration of compute resources and wraps the security features needed for organizations and businesses alike to be compliant."
