Thrive Networks Named to CRN’s Managed Service Provider Elite 150 List

Company Recognized for Forward-Thinking Approach to Meeting the Needs of Today’s IT Channel

Thrive Networks, the complete IT solutions for emerging to mid-sized businesses, has been named to CRN’s Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list as one of the MSP Elite 150. The annual list recognizes the top technology providers and consultants in North America whose cutting-edge approach to managed services puts end-user customers in the best position to improve efficiencies, cut costs and speed time to market for their own products and services.

This year, CRN’s MSP500 is broken down into three groups highlighting the MSP Elite 150, who are large data center-focused solution providers with a strong mix of on-premise professional services as well as off-premise services; the MSP Pioneer 250, who have a business model heavily weighted toward managed services focused on the small- and midsize-business market; and the MSP Hosting Service Provider 100, who own and operate their own data centers, providing a wide array of subscription-based outsourced services.

Clients depend on Thrive Networks to proactively maintain their networks, provide 24/7 complete network protection, resolve end-user issues, deliver strategic technology consulting and implement network migrations to a fully-managed cloud platform – all aimed at improving the bottom line results clients receive from their technology investments. Clients who incorporate Thrive Networks into their day-to-day operating model spend more time building their core business and less time worrying about their technology.

“The managed services landscape continues to evolve rapidly as organizations are discovering they can impact both bottom-line and top-line growth,” said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. “When it comes to strong managed services and off-premise solutions, these companies are the industry’s proven leaders, showing just how they can change the game for their customers and we congratulate them on their success.”

Coverage of the MSP500 will be featured in the February/March issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
