MegaPath Extends Reseller Program
and Expands Managed Security Channel Offerings
MegaPath SecureConnect Enables Service
Providers to Increase Protection for Distributed Enterprises
COSTA MESA, CA.
February 6, 2007
MegaPath, the leading provider of Virtual Private
Network (VPN) solutions and other managed IP services to businesses
nationwide, today announced it is extending its solutions for the
channel, adding antivirus, firewall, anti-spam, content filtering
and IPS services on top of its leading VPN and broadband connectivity
services. MegaPath's Reseller Partner Program gives CLECS, VoIP
communication providers and systems integrators a complete suite
of next generation broadband, network security and remote access
services to increase revenues, penetrate new markets and build customer
loyalty.
"To effectively run their businesses, our customers require
a wide selection of broadband access, network security and remote
access services to help drive productivity and revenue," said
Tracy Bogans, President of OCLR Inc. "To augment our services
with these offerings would take considerable time and resources,
so we turned to MegaPath. With the company's history as a leading
provider of managed IP services, OCLR is confident that we are
providing our customers with the best portfolio of services available.
SecureConnect
is a network-based Unified Threat Management (UTM)
solution that helps organizations safeguard information assets.
SecureConnect protects business information and systems from both
internal and external threats through the use of Attack Mitigation,
Anti-Malware, Web Filtering, and VPN capabilities. As such, it provides
an ideal complement to MegaPath’s MPLS VPN, Internet connectivity
and remote access services.
The MegaPath Reseller Partner Program
is designed for businesses that sell communications and integration
services and want to utilize
MegaPath’s infrastructure to expand their breadth of service
options or service areas. Partners may opt for a Network-to-Network
Interconnection (NNI) to the MegaPath MPLS Network, giving them
private network access to their customers' sites and the ability
to prioritize performance-sensitive and mission-critical applications,
like VoIP and video, over other traffic using the Class of Service
capability inherent in the network and customer premise equipment.
For connecting multi-site customers, partners can offer MegaPath's
MPLS and IPsec VPN services with integrated, network-based Managed
Firewall, Intrusion Prevention, Anti-virus, Spam Tracker and Content
Filtering services. And, partners can offer MegaPath's SSL VPN
with the optional remote access client and Personal Protection
software
to securely connect their customers' mobile workers.
This complete
suite of services allows Local Exchange Carriers (ILECS/CLECs),
network and systems integrators, and application
or VoIP service providers to be more competitive and penetrate
new geographic or vertical markets; increase revenues by growing
their
customer base and Average Revenue Per Unit (ARPU); and reduce
churn by building customer loyalty and dependency through the sale
of
multiple, non-commoditized services to each customer.
MegaPath
provides premium quality, pre-packaged managed broadband, network
security and remote access services at discounted rates,
while partners manage all sales and marketing, billing and 1st
tier support. A dedicated Channel Account Manager is assigned to
assist
partners with all of their needs for selling and supporting MegaPath
services. This includes providing sales training on each of the
services offered and marketing materials that can be re-branded
so the partner can effectively private label the service. MegaPath
also provides access to Partner Portal for ordering services and
tracking the progress of their customer deployments and network
availability. These resources ensure that each of its partners
is able to specify and deliver the best and most cost-effective
solution
for its customers.
“Distributed enterprises are increasingly interested in deploying
integrated site-to-site and remote access network services through
a single vendor to simplify management, improve organizational efficiencies
and reduce operational expenditures,” said J.T. McFadden,
Vice President of Channel Sales at MegaPath. “As the leading
independent provider of managed IP services in North America, MegaPath
is enabling our partners to cost effectively deliver these high
value services that their customers are demanding. These services
not only increase revenue margins, but fill a critical gap in many
service providers’ portfolios.”
