Business Wire reports that Intermedia, the global leader in Microsoft Exchange hosting today opened its first hosted Exchange 2010 service to its existing and future partners. These managed service providers, value-added resellers and other technology providers can sell and support Exchange 2010 under their own brand names as part of the Intermedia’s Private Label Partner Program. It’d sort of be like owning a chain restaurant but, you know, without all of the grease and fat.

“With Intermedia, I can offer clients Exchange 2010 with a 100 percent Data Protection Guarantee, giving me an edge over competitors that offer only Exchange 2007,” says Etorre Dragone, president, Micro Technology Groupe. “I’m always looking for new solutions to help me expand my customer base – Exchange 2010 is definitely one that will help me close more deals with new prospects. Intermedia has proven to be a leader and a valued partner that focuses on offering us the latest in technology, security and reliability so that we can have best-of-breed offerings for our customers.”

“Managed service providers and other technology providers looking for a competitive advantage can get one through Intermedia’s Private Label Partner Program,” says Bob Leibholz, vice president of sales and business development, Intermedia. “Hosted Exchange 2010 is the most up-to-date service, and our partners are the only ones in the market reselling it. The competition is one version behind, giving our partners an edge with the tens of thousands of businesses looking to migrate off legacy versions of Exchange.”

Intermedia has offered private label Exchange hosting since 2001 and has over 4,000 partners – from mom and pop servers to gigantic IT firms.
