ScienceLogic: Hybrid IT monitoring software provider ScienceLogic launched its new channel program, called ChannelLogic, the company announced on Wednesday.

“We are very excited about launching ChannelLogic and enabling our partners to share in our growth.  Our success has been driven by growth in the network, data center and most of all in the number and size of hybrid clouds,” said Dave Link, Co-Founder and CEO at ScienceLogic.  “With payback in as little as 6 months, we believe our value added partners will find a relationship with ScienceLogic beneficial both for themselves and their customers.”

An assortment of standard partner program features are available to resellers, including market development fund allocation and sales tools, as well as webinar and training access. Deal registration opportunities are also available, according to the announcement.

itopia: IT service provider itopia recently announced the availability of its channel-exclusive Cielo Suite of cloud services, which is designated to allow resellers to offer workspace as a service (WaaS) to end users.

The Cielo Suite is currently only available to itopia’s U.S. channel partners, according to the announcement. Channel partners can also private label the WaaS platform for customization.

“Our new user friendly Cielo Suite gives channel partners the flexibility and control to move their clients’ on premises applications, infrastructure and workspaces to whatever cloud infrastructure they choose – whether it’s public, private or a combination of the two,” said Scott Markley, senior vice president of sales at Itopia. “Tailor-made for service providers, the Cielo Suite is the only true end-to-end WaaS solution on the market.”
