Called Riverbed Rise, it replaces a competency-based model requiring steep upfront skills investments with performance-based rewards for landing new accounts and selling more solutions to existing customers, among other accomplishments.

Targeted at OEMs and solution providers, the new program is designed to provide everything needed to create, implement, and support hardware-based solutions.

The latest in a succession of high-profile eFolder hires, Bystrak (pictured) will now be responsible for developing strategic alliances and driving increased adoption of eFolder solutions in the channel.

Called MSP Ignition! and available free of charge to both eFolder partners and anyone else interested in participating, the new offering will provide instruction in launching, growing, and selling a managed services practice.

In addition to X, T, and L series models, the laptops unveiled today include the Miix 630 (pictured), the hardware maker’s first Windows 10 device powered by an ARM-based processor.

The latest in a string of executive departures, the move comes less than a year after the hardware manufacturer added responsibility for its U.S. SMB business to Kinlaw’s duties atop the partner organization.

Available for both iOS and Android devices, the new edition of the vendor’s RMM app for smartphones and tablets arrives on the same day parent company SolarWinds announced that it has acquired cloud-based log monitoring and analytics vendor Loggly.

Aimed at better positioning both companies to help MSPs embrace operational best practices, the move brings a leader in managed services software and a leader in managed services peer groups together under one roof.

Called IoTConnect, the new platform runs on Microsoft’s Azure public cloud. A family of ready-made “smart” solutions based on that platform, also introduced today, target common use cases in a range of vertical industries.
