Ceryx named Hosting Partner of the Year at the Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards
TORONTO, November 17th, 2008 – Ceryx, the leading provider of secure and reliable hosted and managed Microsoft(R) Exchange, announced that it has been named Hosting Solutions Partner of the Year at the 2008 Microsoft Partner Program IMPACT Awards. The sixth annual IMPACT Awards recognizes excellence within the Microsoft technology partner community as well as the innovative solutions and value they deliver to customers.
Within the Hosting category, this award carries particular
significance as Microsoft has begun to put a strong emphasis on its
Software plus Service strategy. Looking to expand their market reach
and provide greater choice to customers in how they consume software
services, Microsoft has acknowledged with this award Ceryx's unique
and complementary contribution to this strategy.
Ceryx, with its proprietary provisioning platform, has been able to
successfully penetrate and expand into new markets, satisfying the
needs of larger organizations and complex channel partners with an
entirely hosted solution. "We are thrilled to be recognized by
Microsoft for our innovations in the area of hosting," says Gus
Harsfai, President and CEO of Ceryx. "This recognition by Microsoft
is further confirmation that hosted solutions are the new norm for
application delivery, even for the large Enterprise."
Ceryx stands alone in the hosting market through their development
of an offering that exposes a broader range of features and
functionality than is found in out-of-the-box solutions. By exposing
significantly more 'configurability' options and making
customizations to Hosted Exchange possible Ceryx has been able to
meet the complex needs of larger organizations looking to reduce
risk, cut costs and outsource their messaging to a reliable partner.
"As real leaders in their fields, technology partners like Ceryx
continue to help customers optimize their business performance,"
said Lora Gernon, Senior Director, Partner Group, Microsoft Canada
Co. 'Our annual IMPACT Awards celebrates top technology partners who
have shown true passion through their tremendous service to
customers and innovative solutions."
Recently recognized by the Radicati Group as
the top 'trailblazer' in their 2008 Market
Quadrant, Ceryx is best known for their
development of a geographically redundant Hosted
Exchange architecture, providing real-time data
replication to a secondary Tier 4 data center,
over 500 miles away. This robust architecture
allows Ceryx to provide a 100% uptime guarantee
and a 'near-local' application performance that
far surpasses the availability and performance
of an on-premise solution.
