Symantec has unveiled its Managed Service Provider (MSP) strategy, designed to make it easier and more cost effective for partners to deliver Symantec's market leading backup and security solutions as managed services.

Symantec is committed to providing service providers with trusted solutions, flexible deployment options and innovative programs that enable them to differentiate their services, maximize opportunities and accelerate profitability.

Through new and expanded integration with leading remote monitoring and management (RMM) platforms and new cloud-based offerings, Symantec is helping partners more effectively deliver and manage multiple products and services while minimizing added overhead costs. Symantec’s MSP strategy also includes the ExSP Licensing Program, a pay-as-you go subscription licensing model designed for service providers.

“Symantec is committed to providing our partners with programs designed to help them grow their business. With this announcement, we are empowering them to offer Symantec’s trusted solutions though flexible deployment options,” said Ajay Goel, managing director (India & SAARC), Symantec. “Our partners now can offer differentiated services to their customers, giving them the flexibility of choice.”

Symantec Backup Exec 2010, Backup Exec 2010 for Windows Small Business Server, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1, and Endpoint Protection 12.1 Small Business Edition integrate with leading RMM platforms, including Level Platforms, Kaseya, LabTech, Storage Online and N-able. This integration allows Symantec partners to more easily deploy, monitor, and manage their customer’s backup and security solutions to reduce costs and deliver improved service to their customers.

In addition, Symantec partners can leverage and tie Symantec cloud-based security products into their existing MSP offerings. Symantec Endpoint Protection. Cloud is quick to set-up and can be managed through a single console hosted in the cloud by Symantec.

Symantec's ExSP licensing Program offers Symantec partners of all sizes the choice of buying Symantec software in a monthly subscription-based model, providing them with greater flexibility in how they deliver solutions to their customers. The program rewards service partners for their growth by reducing licensing costs as their volume of business increases. The Symantec ExSP Licensing Program is open to partners enrolled in Symantec’s Partner Program who are qualified service providers.
