The offerings will broaden the portfolio that GreenPages can sell to its customers, the company said. "We are going to be adding their Freedom desktop solutions to our portfolio,” said Michael Halperin, vice president of managed services for GreenPages, in an interview. “We’re a leader in virtualization and cloud solutions and we see independenceIT's services as a great addition to our portfolio. We’re excited to be bringing this capability to our customers."

‘GreenPages are in the forefront of virtualization, and they will leverage our platform,’ said Seth Bostock, executive vice president of Business Development and Strategy at independenceIT.

Both companies have been actively adding partnerships in recent weeks.

On the same day, Allentown, Pa.-based IndependenceIT announced a new partnership with managed IT services and communications provider EarthLink, saying EarthLink will be adding independenceIT’s offerings to its IT services portfolio.

IndependenceIT has 20 to 25 partners and does not release financial figures. Greenpages said it expects to have revenue for 2012 of $125 million. GreenPages’ partners include VMware, CA Technologies, Hewlett-Packard, EMC, VCE, Cisco, and Dell.
