This new integration enables Resello partners who use Autotask as their IT business management platform to utilize the Resello cloud services automation platform for provisioning and managing cloud solutions such as Office 365 or Azure.

“Over the past months’ partners have been asking us for an integration with Autotask, so it’s our pleasure to announce this new integration today,” said Harald Nuij, CCO at Resello. ‘The Resello automation platform has always been very open and easy to integrate with. Partners can use our API and extensive documentation to integrate our automation platform with their business. We also develop our own integrations for other platforms, based on our partners’ demands. For instance, last year we launched modules for the WHMCS platform that are extensively used by our partners since.”

Customer Invoicing on Cloud Solutions

Resello partners can use the Autotask integration to synchronize customer data between the Resello cloud services automation platform and Autotask. Partners who use Autotask as their IT business management platform can pull invoicing data from the Resello automation platform to Autotask, enabling them to use Autotask for customer invoicing on cloud solutions and services provisioned through Resello.

“Our in-house development team will continue to develop this Autotask integration based on direct feedback from our partners,” added Mr. Nuij. “We are also working on integrations with other platforms. We expect to make some more announcements in the coming months.”

Founded in 2013, Resello has over 30 employees, with a development team and sales and support based in the Netherlands. The company’s automation platform would help accelerate digital transformation and help VARs, MSPs, Telcos, webhosting providers and ISVs run a “successful” cloud business. The automation platform enables partners to manage customers and provision products and usage all in one place.

Altitude Tickets, a high volume U.S. ticket sales website, has selected Managed Services Provider (MSP), ePlexity to oversee the company’s migration to a 100% cloud based solution. ePlexity standardized on Faction Cloud, a private cloud solution it white labels and re-sells as its own.

Altitude Tickets has utilized a traditional colocation environment, purchasing and managing their own equipment in a third party data center. The model required significant CAPEX reserves to address peak usage spikes and hardware refreshes.

Altitude Tickets was searching for an IT partner who could offer personal attention, seeking a boutique, consultative relationship. By selecting ePlexity as its technology partner, and migrating to a private cloud solution, the company could scale up or down as needed across a “state-of-the-art” infrastructure without incurring a CAPEX expense.

Garth Brooks World Tour

Faction’s cloud platform recently contributed to Altitude Tickets‘ extremely high volume of U.S. sales traffic for the Garth Brooks World Tour. The nine show lineup hit record-breaking sales with over 140,000 tickets sold by Altitude online in less than three hours, instantly shattering the previous Denver concert ticket sales record.

“We chose to re-sell Faction Cloud, because it is the only cloud service provider that is 100% channel centric,” said John Clendennen, CEO and Founder of ePlexity. “Their ‘no compete promise’ means I can build a business atop Faction’s cloud infrastructure and be assured I will retain my customer relationships, contracts and branding. It was great working alongside Faction on behalf of Altitude Tickets.”

As a result of ePlexity‘s successful assistance, Altitude Tickets anticipates expanding its use of cloud throughout its parent company, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.

“Faction and ePlexity have helped us to create a hosting environment which better meets our needs in terms of both performance and cost efficiencies,” said Rick Schoenhals, VP of Information Technology, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. “We’ve also gained the flexibility to respond to business challenges more quickly with effective solutions that can directly target our business needs.”

SherWeb, a Canadian cloud hosting provider founded in 1998, has released a blueprint to help its resellers build a hosted version of QuickBooks for their clients using its ‘Performance Cloud Servers.’ Intuit’s QuickBooks operates in the small business market, sized at approximately 29 million businesses in the U.S. alone, while it claims to have more than 80% market share with small businesses that use financial management software.

QuickBooks Hosting is run on a Remote Desktop solution powered by SherWeb’s Performance Cloud. This solution allows companies to run a virtual desktop that can be accessed by any employee from anywhere and on any mobile device.

Guillaume Boisvert, Product Director for SherWeb’s Performance Cloud, said a hosted QuickBooks solution from SherWeb has many advantages users won’t find in an online version. This includes flexible pricing (you pay only for the resources used), free, extra features and SherWeb’s 24/7 technical support.

QuickBooks Hosting powered by Performance Cloud Servers would be a great sales opportunity for SherWeb’s 4,000-member partner channel, according to Mr. Boisvert.

“As we were examining our partners’ offers, we noticed that QuickBooks hosting kept coming back as a pressing client need,” said Mr. Boisvert. “We want to help our partners present their clients with a best-of-breed solution that can be deployed quickly, reliably and that is priced to match their reality. The early response to this initiative has been great.”

SherWeb currently has more than 25,000 customers in more than 100 countries that would benefit from the added value of its wide range of SaaS, IaaS and PaaS solutions.

ReliableSite.Net, a company founded in 2006 with fully-managed dedicated server offerings in the New York City metro area and Miami, Florida, has launched an API, allowing programmatic access to dedicated server management. Resellers and developers can now seamlessly integrate and control server, network, and DDoS protection functions within their own project.

The API (application programming interface) is available for dedicated hosting customers and dedicated server resellers. This new feature from ReliableSite would allow for better management, including giving resellers the freedom to give their customers accessibility through their own internal interfaces.

Customers will be able to power the server on, pull up resource details, manage null routes and DDoS attack protection settings and logs, and more.

Resellers will get the ability to add or remove users and give their customers’ access to certain server details and advanced functions. For example, a VPS hosting provider can reduce their system administrator’s workload by giving individual customers the ability to add and remove their own null routes or adjust DDoS protection settings.

“We built the API from the ground up for users who value automation and the ability to easily customize our services to their needs,” said Radic Davydov, founder and CEO of ReliableSite. “By its nature, the feature we’ve developed is tailored for anyone who relies on our services – from enterprise IT teams to app developers to cloud hosting providers.” 

ReliableSite developed the API with their in-house development team using SOAP standards. This will allow programmers to be able to integrate the API for their needs using virtually any language, including PHP, Ruby, JavaScript and .NET.

At Hosting Con 2015 in San Diego, InterNetX, a cloud hosting provider headquartered in Regensburg, Germany, has announced the availability of its Reseller Cloud on the U.S. market. Reseller Cloud resellers can create and offer their cloud products on a modular basis.

“The customer receives a dedicated hardware resource which he can divide into individual instances through a one-click user interface,” said Marco Revesz, Project Manager Automation, InterNetX. “The user selects one of four configurations as a basis. Features such vCPU, HDD or RAM can be customized for each instance and can be adjusted even during operation. Thanks to the “Memory Overcommitment” feature, resellers can assign even more virtual RAM to an instance in the Reseller Cloud package than physically available.”

Additional features of this reseller hosting platform include, among others, various monitoring tools, license administrations and various statistical functions. Separate accounts can be created for sub users through the InterNetX Server Administration Center (ISAC). The white label enabled interface automatically adapts to the logo CI by dragging and dropping the Logo. The new iOS app allows for server administration on the go.

The hardware of this Reseller Cloud is hosted in InterNetX’s Tier 3 Data Center in Munich, Germany. The data center is certified according to ISO / IEC 27001 and would meet all requirements of a modern high-security infrastructure in the areas of climate control, power supply and security technology. Multiple redundant connections with a total bandwidth of more than 50 Gbit/s would guarantee a maximum performance.
