StratoGen joins CMS Peripherals stable

Hosting provider enlists help of storage distributor to grow VAR base

Joe Fagan: StratoGen's services are margin-rich and easy to promote

Managed hosting provider StratoGen has appointed storage distributor CMS Peripherals to help grow its reseller base within the UK and Ireland.

The vendor specialises in the provision of hosted HP servers and cloud services based on VMware technology.

CMS Peripherals said it plans to use the firm's technology to allow users of Dell EqualLogic arrays to replicate their data in the cloud.

Joe Fagan, product marketing manager at CMS Peripherals, said: "StratoGen has an excellent solution that is margin rich, easy for the reseller to promote and painless for the end user to adopt.

"We believe this solution constitutes a significant value proposition to our Dell EqualLogic reseller community that allows them to participate in cloud-based services without any investment."

Karl Robinson, managing director of StratoGen, said all the firm's services would be made available to the distributor's VARs.

"We believe CMS resellers will welcome the opportunity to resell our high-margin services to their own customers," he added.
