PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2014) - SingleHop , the leading provider of cloud-enabled managed hosting and on-demand infrastructure, has been selected a winner of Channel Partner's 2014 Cloudys Cloud Channel Innovations Awards. SingleHop's LEAP3, one of the first proprietary automation platforms in the market that allows users to easily design, deploy and manage hybrid infrastructure in minutes, was awarded "Most Innovative Cloud Enablement Tool."
"LEAP3 was created so that our partners have the ability to deploy and manage hybrid cloud solutions for their customers as easily and efficiently as possible. We bring enterprise-class technology to our end-users and make it consumable on demand," said Mark Mercado, Vice President of Channel at SingleHop. "Our increasing number of industry accolades, especially in the indirect sales community, is proof that we are on the right path of innovation and service quality. SingleHop will continue to execute on this plan to provide custom-built solutions from a mix of leading enterprise-class technologies. LEAP3 is just another way that we make selling cloud easier for our partners."
SingleHop's LEAP3 Control Center offers customers comprehensive control over their servers, firewalls, load balancers, storage, and more. The platform offers the ability to design, deploy, configure, control, clone, monitor, manage, resize, scale, virtual and physical servers, at any time and from any device in any of SingleHop's global data centers.
"The response to the inaugural Channel Partners Cloudys awards has been overwhelmingly positive," said Khali Henderson, Editor-in-Chief of Channel Partners. "This program rewards innovation across the cloud ecosystem and success in a world where traditional distinctions among developer, vendor, provider and partner blur."
To determine the winners of The Cloudys, companies were asked to demonstrate how they are driving innovation in the cloud channel -- either for their partners or for their business customers.
Channel Partners editors evaluated and scored all applications to determine the winners in five categories, including:
- Most Innovative Cloud Service
- Most Innovative Cloud Customer Deployment
- Most Innovative Cloud Partner Business Model
- Most Innovative Cloud Best Practice
- Most Innovative Cloud Enablement Tool
The winners were honored during an awards ceremony on Sept. 8 at the Cloud Partners event in New Orleans. The winners will be featured in a Channel Partners' November print issue, as well as a digital issue that can be downloaded from The Cloudys Immersion Center at www.channelpartnersonline.com/cloudys .
