SMC Networks Launching Managed Services Platform

SMC Networks plans to launch a managed services platform in late 2008, enabling VARs and MSPs to remotely monitor networks and minimize system downtime, according to an SMC press release.

It’s good to see networking companies getting into the managed services game. But I need to play devil’s advocate: I hope the SMC platform is holistic, and allows MSPs to manage a range of network devices — not just SMC hardware.

I’ve pinged SMC for more information about their strategy. As soon as I have the details I’ll share them with MSPmentor readers.
