Ipanema Technologies, a provider of WAN Governance solutions, today announces the launch of AppsWork. Provided as a service, AppsWork enables the SMB market to take full advantage of any application, including cloud and Internet based, guaranteeing performance and delivering full application visibility.
“Many SMBs struggle to deliver predictable performance for business critical applications and their attempts to embrace cloud-based applications to reduce costs and increase IT agility, are often undermined by reduced business productivity and a poor user experience resulting from unpredictable application performance,” said Joe Skorupa, Distinguished Analyst, Data Center Convergence at Gartner, Inc.
“It is a game-changer for the industry to empower SMBs with guaranteed application performance, traditionally reserved for large enterprises,” said Rogier van der Wal, Vice President Cloud Services, Ipanema Technologies. “SMBs can now consume applications as needed, without worrying about performance and end-user experience.”
“With AppsWork, for a few dollars per user per month, applications just work,” continued van der Wal. “AppsWork leverages Ipanema's unique technology made available to large enterprises via managed service providers.”
AppsWork will be distributed by Ingram Micro via its Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace. AppsWork will be available to Ingram Micro’s entire network of system integrators, cloud service providers, MSPs and technology resellers with immediate roll-out in the USA and other countries in subsequent months.
AppsWork is provisioned and managed via a service portal based upon the Force.com platform from Salesforce. Scalable, high availability hosting is provided by IaaS provider, Rackspace.
