Industry Innovator Delivers 50 Percent Cost Advantage to Channel Partners by Automatically Migrating Windows Workspace Deployments into Google Cloud #GoogleNext17
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Mar 7, 2017 -- Google Cloud Next - Making it easy and more profitable for IT service providers to deliver full-stack Windows workspaces in the cloud, itopia today announced it is the first and only Workspace-as-a-Service (WaaS) partner for Google Cloud.
The new alliance is set to disrupt the market dominance of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure, and provide channel partners with considerably more reliable, affordable and secure cloud desktop solutions for midmarket and enterprise clients. News of the game-changing relationship broke this week at Google Cloud Next in San Francisco, an immersive event that brings together more than 10,000 executives, customers, partners, developers, IT decision makers, and Google Engineers to build the future of the cloud.
"Working with the Google Cloud team is a big deal for us and a strategic move by Google to accelerate the channel's adoption of Google Cloud Platform. Together, we'll simplify the decision-making process of CIOs and IT directors by making it easy to move full-stack Windows desktops to the cloud," said itopia CEO Jonathan Lieberman. "Secure and flexible cloud-based workspaces are the future of IT, and our bet to win is on the IT channel, itopia and Google Cloud."
"Enterprises are looking for competitive advantages and are eager for the greater efficiency, scale and security gained from Google Cloud-enabled workspaces," said Lieberman. "Think of itopia workspaces as the next generation of VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure). As the first and only Google cloud desktop Partner, itopia is uniquely positioned to provide channel partners with the means to securely migrate and manage enterprises in the Google Cloud in record time and with unparalleled results and manageability."
With zero capital expense and the industry's lowest cost of deployment by 50 percent, itopia + Google Cloud Platform represents the best option for channel partners and IT professionals in terms of performance, price and value. Crash Lowe, Alpha Dog at Waterdog Technologies agrees. "We've introduced itopia's new product combined with the Google Cloud to several of our clients and the response has been fantastic," said Lowe. "We couldn't be more excited to get started."
