CWPS selected as one of the

40 Most Innovative MSPs in the United States

 

CRN, the Technology News publication for Solutions Providers, approached some of the top managed service platform vendors and MSP organizations, including Kaseya, N-able, LPI Level Platforms, Zenith Infotech, GFI (CA Technologies) and MSP Alliance, to name who they thought were their most innovative partners.


While all MSPs look to offer their customers a value-added service, a smaller portion of that whole is truly changing the game, leading the way with new models and new technologies to separate themselves from the pack.

CWPS was selected because it delivers value through hands-on project-based engagements as well as a broad portfolio of managed services that are built around unified communications, storage, server, desktop, virtualization, LAN/WAN and security.

 

“Small and mid-sized businesses like to work with one vendor to do multiple things. We're always working to broaden the scope of services we can offer our clients,” noted Jason Waldrop, CEO of CWPS. “We're proud that CRN recognizes how hard we work to make life easier for our customers.”

Are you spending too much on servers and space?

Schedule a no-cost CWPS capacity analysis

 

We'll run the numbers using VMware Capacity Planner

and provide a consolidation plan

 

Virtualization is transforming the way organizations use their IT resources. Instead of paying for multiple servers, special “virtualization” software allows different operating systems, applications and workloads to be consolidated onto fewer machines. This greatly reduces your hardware costs, while saving on maintenance and cutting management time.

 

CWPS can guide decisions around server consolidation and capacity optimization for your datacenter.  Using VMware Capacity Planner, we'll gather the information we need to identify your cost-reduction opportunities − from the desktop to the data center.

 

Capacity Planner views CPU utilization across all of the servers in your datacenter. Our detailed capacity analysis includes CPU, memory, network and disk utilization across every server monitored.  Using industry data for comparisons and benchmarking, we'll do scenario modeling, trending and a “What-If” analysis so you can make an informed decision on next steps.

 

Let CWPS run VMware Capacity Planner on your network and prepare a consolidation plan − at no fee to you. For more details, contact us today at (877) 297-7472 or connect@cwps.com.
