Infrastructure software distributor Dupaco from the Netherlands has recently signed a distribution agreement with the California-based cloud application management company Appcara. With this agreement, Dupaco adds a vital component to its ecosystem of cloud solutions.
Appcara’s flagship product AppStack solution enables enterprises, MSPs and service providers to build and deploy complex distributed infrastructures on top of generic IaaS clouds. This capability helps customers to distinguish themselves from the competition and engage specific market verticals.
This fits perfectly in Dupaco’s “Move up the stack” message towards its MSP customers. In the near future, providing generic compute power from the cloud (IaaS) will not be enough to survive and protect margins. Market differentiation is key for a successful cloud strategy. With Appcara’s AppStack organizations can build and market more profitable PaaS & SaaS solutions for specific market verticals.
