OpSource announced the OpSource Partner Ecosystem, a comprehensive new program designed to enable integrators, developers, ISVs, cloud platform companies and telecom providers to offer integrated solutions for their joint customers. OpSource’s unique offerings address the needs for high security, control, performance and ease of integration.

OpSource said in a statement that more than 50% of its revenue will come from the Partner Ecosystem channel.  The OpSource Partner Ecosystem will speed enterprise adoption of cloud hosting by reducing the burden of integration, shortening time to market for new services, and lowering the total cost of implementation and ownership for both partners and customers. This will help companies thinking of switching to cloud servers to switch faster, and get the best option available to them. Cloud hosting is going to be huge.

“For the enterprise cloud to realize mass adoption, companies must recognize the importance of the channel,” said Antonio Piraino, Vice President and Research Director, Tier1 Research. “The majority of hardware and software is delivered through the channel today as part of larger solutions, but until now very few in the hosting space have acknowledged this simple fact. Companies that recognize the power of the channel and build their businesses around it will gain significant business advantages.”
