Bitrix, a provider of web business communications, has introduced Bitrix Intranet Portal / Cloud edition, an enhanced version of its Enterprise 2.0 offering suitable for cloud deployment and rent-a-portal distribution model.
According to Bitrix, the new edition of Enterprise 2.0 will allow service providers to reinforce their service portfolio and maximise profits while customers can save up to 80% of intranet implementation costs.
Dmitry Valyanov, president of Bitrix, said: "The cloud is a challenging distribution channel for Enterprise 2.0 solutions. Service providers are constantly looking for new ways of increasing revenues, while their customers are searching for tools to create effective internal workspaces while streamlining financial, personnel, and hardware resources. The new edition of our flagship product is a perfect fit for both sides."
Bitrix claims that the new edition is a ready-to-go solution for small organisations with up to 50 users that prefer installation of the product on a service provider’s premises. It allows customers to avoid the costs associated with additional software and hardware acquisition, product installation, and maintenance.
In addition, the Cloud edition minimises concurrent risks of system downtime, data breach and data loss, as these issues are managed by the service provider.
Further, the Cloud edition is cross-cloud support of all major virtualisation platforms including VMware, Xen, OpenVZ, Virtuozzo and Hyper-V. Service providers create a dedicated VPS for a new customer and launch a specially crafted RPM-distribution kit, which contains all the necessary software and an installation script.
