Datacentre services company ControlCircle is expanding into the channel with a new sales programme and two new senior appointments to the channel team.
 
The move, says ControlCircle, will help meet customer demand for managed services such as virtualisation, hosting, disaster recovery, storage and infrastructure monitoring and management.

To lead the channel programme, ControlCircle has appointed two new senior members to its channel team, channel account directors, Jason Vaughan-Phillips and David Blesovsky.

 The company is also looking for partners across its three channel streams, referral partners, approved reseller partners and white-label partners. Partners will work across each of the company’s service areas.
 
“We want to build channel relationships with partners of all sizes. ControlCircle has previously built relationships with partners informally, but we feel now is the time to build on our past efforts and engage more widely with the channel across a range of business areas,” says channel director, Jason Vaughan-Phillips.
 
The firm says that without the huge investment in their own Network Operations Centre (NOC) or Monitoring platforms, ControlCircle Partners will be able to punch above their weight and win business at the most profitable end of the market. ControlCircle says is able to offer such benefits and negotiate more competitive pricing through its relationships with vendors and its complete neutrality when it comes to suppliers.
