company of Intel's stature. This alliance will enable us to reach out to the
large registered base of Intel BX, which also comprises of ISVs, application
providers and resellers. As the first Indian managed IT services provider to
partner with Intel BX, we intend to leverage our leadership in the marketplace
to reach out to millions of Intel BX users. Managed IT services dramatically
reduce costs for any organization and also allow them to focus on their core
competencies.”

descriptions, interactive demonstrations, white-papers, case studies, blog
entries and user-submitted product ratings and reviews. The sole focus of this
business alliance is to help SMBs and other professionals find answers to their
toughest business challenges. Through this alliance we are happy to provide our
customers the benefits that Netmagic can offer by virtue of being a leading
managed IT services provider.”

Customers can avail solutions tailor made to their needs, through the

instead. In addition to this, they can also use the Netmagic cloud computing
services.

Netmagic will also allow ISVs and application providers to service their
customers by helping them choose hosting options through the SaaS model. This
alliance with Intel will also benefit the reseller community as it will allow
them to add another business to their existing portfolio through the Netmagic
partner program. This is the latest business alliance with a high profile
company for Netmagic which in the past has had tie ups with companies like HP
and Sun Microsystems.
