Parallels Ignites HostingCon!

HostingCon is in Maryland this year, and as always, it presents an excellent opportunity for small & medium businesses to learn tips and tricks for creating a stable client base in the service provider industry. That's especially true for those interested in expanding their boarders into the Cloud, and this year Parallels will be in full attendance to talk all about that.

Parallels CEO Serguei Bellousov will be amongst the Parallels guest speakers for the event, and will be conducting the keynote speech, "Finding Your Position to Compete in a Changing Hosting Industry," the afternoon of August 10th. The goal is to teach and help service providers adapt their current setup to provide automation and SaaS offerings for their clients.

HostingCon 2009 will be held August 10th - 12th. See the press release HERE to find out more!

Parallels Announces First EMEA Partner Roadshow!

Problem:

There are hundreds (and by extension thousands) of businesses out there in the hosting and service related industries who aren't familiar with the benefits of virtualization and automation technology, and even if they are, they may have no idea how to effectively integrate that technology with their current system. There's a huge potential for service providers to save money and heighten their efficiency. Cloud computing can revolutionize an enterprise for both service providers and their clients, but like many things the awareness factor sometimes isn't there. Service providers can offer more dynamic services to customers with the right technology in place.

Solution:

Parallels will meet you half way! We’re inviting existing and potential future partners to join us during our first EMEA Partner Roadshow. Learn how to optimize your SP offerings with Parallels solutions! Sponsors for the event series include VeriSign, RedHat, Epages, OpenSRS, Unison, Internet X, Backupagent, Scalix/Xandros, Bobcares and Commtouch.

The roadshow runs throughout September, and our goal is to educate as many server and hosting professionals as possible about SaaS and how it can enhance their offerings through virtualization and automation. It will also be a perfect opportunity for existing SaaS-driven providers to connect and discuss the best practices of cloud computing during our sessions.

The dates and locations are below. For more information, including a full list of attending sponsors, see the EMEA Partner Roadshow press release HERE.
