"The explosive growth of the BlackBerry Enterprise solution in the business world today is creating enormous opportunity for Hosting Providers that cater to small and mid-sized organizations. The CytexOne Stratus Appliance was designed to provide Hosting Providers with Hosted BlackBerry services in a simple and fast way to fill their client's needs, regardless of the total number of deployments," said Dan Levine, CytexOne CEO and co-founder. "By providing an appliance that is already configured and can be remotely managed and supported, Hosting Providers can quickly roll out high-reliability Hosted BlackBerry services without any hesitation. It takes all the trial and error out of serving this rapidly growing market."

The CytexOne Stratus Appliance with Hosted BlackBerry services comes complete with the features and licensing requirements that will enable Hosting Providers to offer Hosted BlackBerry services to their customers. The Stratus is highly cost-effective, easy to operate, and keeps the control local.

The Stratus Appliance for BlackBerry is part of a family of products that uses CytexOne's proprietary Secure Distributed Virtualization™ platform. This revolutionary distributed host-and-infrastructure platform enables unprecedented access for client premise devices for remote programming, monitoring, network maintenance and server scalability.

"The Stratus Appliance is based on our distributed virtualized platform, which can offer highly scalable Hosted BlackBerry services without purchasing and configuring hardware, so buy-in as well as ongoing costs are a fraction of traditional systems," notes Dan. The Stratus not only dramatically reduces hardware needs and lowers energy costs, but it also reduces downtime expenses due to CytexOne's proactive monitoring.

In addition, the Stratus Appliance is fully configured out of the box so it sets up in under an hour, provides licenses for small to large BlackBerry smartphone deployments, offers automated license collection and reporting, and easy upgrading for customers. The Stratus Appliance also simplifies remote monitoring of hardware, OS and Hosted BlackBerry services. Providers can get encrypted, remote administrative access to the BlackBerry Administration Service console from any web browser anywhere in the world. CytexOne offers 24/7 support for its Stratus infrastructure. The Stratus Appliance leverages Dell servers and their hardware replacement program. Technical support for Hosted BlackBerry services are available directly from Research In Motion (RIM).

CytexOne is exhibiting at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium 2010, April 27-29, World Center Marriott, Orlando, Florida in Booth #417.
