In an announcement timed to coincide with Microsoft’s partner conference this week, the distributor introduced new services aimed at helping resellers design, build, and manage Azure-based infrastructure solutions.

The security vendor also added SD-WAN optimization capabilities to its NextGen Firewall product family, introduced a new API for its Web Application Firewall portfolio, and announced a new alliance agreement with DevOps toolmaker Puppet Inc.

On the second day of the company’s Inspire partner conference, Microsoft’s Judson Althoff (pictured) provided a detailed look at a new organizational model aimed at delivering complete solutions in targeted markets to customers in specific industries.

The acquisition is the first step in what Arcserve describes as a 12-month process to build the industry’s first “disaster avoidance” solution for mid-market companies with both hybrid cloud and cloud-only deployment options.

The distributor will add editions of its recently introduced hosted SMB network-in-a-box that include the Microsoft 365 Business suite as soon as that freshly unveiled product enters general availability this fall.

Named Microsoft 365 and available soon, the new offering combines Microsoft’s Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, and Windows 10 products in one integrated package priced at $20 per user per month for SMBs.

Called One Commercial Partner, it brings all of Microsoft’s partner resources together in one place and is backed by $250 million in new investments and a new set of embeddable cloud-based services for Azure software developers.
