And why not? Service providers have long rested in an undifferentiated market and with the advent of something new in &#8220;hosting,&#8221; cloud computing, the pressure has been on to provide more features to users. A strong IT management tool fits the bill there, so little wonder many startups and others in this area are trying to fill that hole.<\/p>\n<p>AccelOps has recently launched a service provider version of it&#8217;s SaaS IT Management platform (along with a virtual appliance, if you prefer), AccelOps 2.1 SP. It wraps up the in-depth monitor, event management, analytics, and CMDB (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/cote\/2009\/07\/13\/accelops-all-in-one-it-management\/\">my previous write-up for more detail<\/a>). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accelops.net\/product\/service-provider.php\">full rundown  from AccelOps is<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nAccelOps SP edition delivers multi-tenancy, console consolidation, advanced incident management, agentless-discovery, automated integration, and dynamic scaling to manage multiple customers or multiple divisions on-premise, off-premise and in the cloud.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Having a multi-tenant architecture is key for the service provider bundling. Here, the point is a service provider can take the AccelOps 2.1 Service Provider edition and offer it for use among their own customer base.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pic\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cote-media.redmonk.com\/cote\/files\/2012\/06\/service-provider-incident.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cote-media.redmonk.com\/cote\/files\/2012\/06\/service-provider-incident-tm.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"235\" alt=\"service-provider-incident.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having worked on a similar product in my previous life, PATROL Express, there&#8217;s certainly utility to service providers with a multi-tenant tool like this. Throwing in white-labeling, &#8220;super users,&#8221; and other administrative things and you can start to provide IT management as a service among your own customers or internally at a company if you want to divide things up that way.<\/p>\n<h2>More<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accelops.net\/news\/092110.php\">Official press release on AccelOps 2.1 SP<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Susana Schwartz covers <a href=\"http:\/\/connectedplanetonline.com\/bss_oss\/news\/accelops-sever-sprawl-092110\/\">AccelOps 2.1 SP<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewhir.com\/web-hosting-news\/092110_AccelOps_Updates_IT_Monitoring_Solution_for_Service_Providers\">David Hamilton covers it as well<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/cote\/2009\/07\/13\/accelops-all-in-one-it-management\/\">A more in-depth look and review of AccelOps from myself<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/cote\/2009\/10\/29\/contempory-root-cause-analysis\/\">A webinar I did with AccelOps<\/a> on root cause analysis in virtualized, cloud, and &#8220;traditional&#8221; settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Disclosure:<\/b> AccelOps is a client, as are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/clients\/\">many other IT Management vendors<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A service provider edition of the SaaS IT Management offering AccelOps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,34],"tags":[56,857,517,664],"class_list":["post-5336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cloud","category-systems-management","tag-accelops","tag-cloud","tag-msp","tag-saas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/cote\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
