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.
