Ingram Micro announces CloudBlue, a new brand for its cloud platform business, planning to ramp up its offerings for service providers and Cloud Marketplace customers alike.
Service will allow ISVs to connect to Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace quickly, will put growth of apps on Marketplace in “warp speed,” Renee Bergeron says.
Ingram Micro did not make any new announcements at their ONE show this week. They did, however, give a sneak peek at some things partners can expect to see in 2017.
The Cloud Store deployment, which is now available to all Ingram partners, allows smaller customers to provision themselves, integrating them directly into the Ingram Micro Marketplace.
In addition to the Odin enhancements, Ingram Micro is emphasizing the relevance of their new referral program for Advisors, in the wake of Microsoft’s announcement that the program is being sunsetted.
Ingram buys the software it had been licensing since 2013, and in addition gets around 500 skilled Odin employees and greater exposure to telco and carrier channels.
