New Delhi, India; March 18, 2016 – ZNet Technologies, the leading cloud and web services provider since 2001, announced today the launch of RackNap – a cloud service delivery and business automation platform. The first of its kind unified platform, RackNap, aims to enable the cloud and IT service providers with complete cloud service business cycle automation across several modules – Marketplace and product display, Billing and pricing, Service configuration and delivery, Sales and marketing, Inventory and assets monitoring, CRM and support management, Multi-tier partner channel enablement, End- customer panel, and Business analytics.
While RackNap has been built in-line with the needs of cloud service providers, datacenters, telcos and web hosters, it is functionally rich enough to support any business that provides products and services on subscription-based pricing models.
“Currently, cloud service providers have to rely on multiple applications to manage different facets of their business – support, CRM, sales and marketing, inventory and service delivery; which mars the end-to-end automation. RackNap, with its diverse modules and functionalities, will serve as a stand-alone, self-sufficient and unified platform for the cloud providers, helping them get rid of the mismanagement and manual processing that stems from dependency across several applications,” said Munesh Jadoun, Founder & CEO, RackNap.
“RackNap will also make datacenters, telcos and web hosters, who wish to add cloud services to their existing product portfolio, ready-to-go to sell cloud. They already have a huge infrastructure, technical competencies and an existing customer base; all they need to sell cloud is a unified platform that can automate the complete customer lifecycle, and RackNap provides them just that,” he added.
RackNap is currently integrated with, and has capability to automate complete product delivery cycle of Microsoft Azure, Openstack, OnApp, Amazon Web Services, IBM – Softlayer, Parallels Cloud Services, LogicBoxes, Office 365, and Google Apps for Work, among others. Along with cloud services, providers can also deliver traditional web services as RackNap also comes integrated with cPanel, goMobi, SmarterMail, WordPress, Joomla, Opencart, Magento, WebsitePanel, etc.
The noteworthy product integrations in pipeline include OpenNebula, VMUnify, Acronis, Google Cloud Engine, Open – Xchange, VMware, Cisco WebEx, CloudFlare, SiteLock, SpamExperts, McAfee, BackupAgent, GoDaddy, eNom, and OpenSRS, among others.
“RackNap enables us to manage billing & provision services from multiple cloud providers like AWS, Azure, VMware and Hyper-V plus. Using RackNap, we have been able to expand globally and manage our Global Cloud Infrastructure in a single pane of glass. Apart from offering traditional web services like domains, web hosting, SSL; using RackNap, we are also able to plug in Next Generation Cloud Applications and offer it to our Cloud Partners with its 2-tier Partner model,” said Samir Jhaveri, Managing Director, XcellHost Cloud Services.
