HPE Hyper-Converged Appliance Boosts Recurring Revenue For MSPs Of All Sizes
HPE’s new hyper-converged appliance, the ProLiant Easy Connect EC200a, offers features to boost the recurring revenue for MSPs of all sizes.
HPE’s David Sung told CRNtv the appliance is perfect for resellers looking to enter the managed services space for the first time, but it’s also great for those MSPs who want to scale their business.
’This takes care of the mundane business, the things that – at the end of the day – the small businesses say I absolutely have to have that,’ Sung said.
Those ’mundane,’ but necessary, features include security control and backup and recovery.
For large, established MSPs, the EC200a solves the issue of expensive maintenance and security patches.
’That large MSP, they can get to the thousands of customers that they need to get to,’ Sung said.
In the end, it all comes down to serving the end user. According to Sung, MSPs aren’t the only ones who prefer operating on a subscription model.
’Having a subscription model for the end user is humungous,’ he said.
