Industry-leading distributor announces three new managed services offerings powered by LogMeIn and Alert Logic

NEW ORLEANS, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingram Micro VTN Invitational -- Ingram Micro (NYSE: IM) today announced the immediate availability of three new Seismic service offerings. Delivered as part of Ingram Micro's Seismic Virtual Services Warehouse, these affordable on-demand service solutions include:

    --  Seismic Remote Support, powered by LogMeIn -- Enables solution
        providers and managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver on-demand
        support to remote PCs for faster, more efficient incident resolution.
        Simple to try, deploy and use, the service allows providers to lower
        support costs while increasing end-customer satisfaction via
        chat-enabled remote support.
    --  Seismic Threat Manager, powered by Alert Logic -- Combines the power
        of intrusion protection and vulnerability management technology into a
        single integrated, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that offers
        clients both proactive and reactive protection from the latest threats
        and vulnerabilities.
    --  Seismic Log Manager, powered by Alert Logic -- An intelligent SaaS
        solution that helps partners manage log data and more easily comply
        with policies and regulations such as PCI, SOX, HIPAA, and GLBA, which
        mandate log data be collected, regularly reviewed, and securely
        archived.

Available now, these new managed services offerings are ideal for solution providers and MSPs who want to increase their remote service and support capabilities without adding significant infrastructure costs.

"Being able to easily troubleshoot and deliver real-time, affordable remote technical support, as well as on-demand compliance and security solutions, are services that channel partners can no longer do without," said Justin Crotty, vice president, Ingram Micro Services Division, North America. "IT has become a business necessity, with customer demands going well beyond just delivering the right technology. Today's business owners want the added assurance of 24/7 service, support and security at a price they can afford."

By tapping into Seismic Remote Support, Threat Manager and Log Manager solution providers and MSPs can radically increase service levels and profitability, while enhancing IT compliance and the overall security of their clients' networks.

"These truly are must-have offerings for those partners who are serious about delivering great service and support and keeping their clients protected from the threats and vulnerabilities that constantly work to plague the technologies we've all come to rely on," concludes Crotty.

Ingram Micro's new Seismic Remote Support pricing is based on the number of technicians using the tool. Both annual and monthly subscriptions are available.

Pricing for the new Seismic Threat Manager and Seismic Log Manager is based on the number of IP addresses being monitored within a specific network. Ingram Micro partners who are using Seismic Threat Manager may also purchase Alert Logic's ActiveWatch Monitoring service through Ingram Micro. This valuable 24/7 service allows Seismic partners to leverage Alert Logic's proven global Security Operations Center (SOC) and provide clients with affordable, around-the-clock network monitoring 365 days a year.

All Seismic services, including the Seismic Hosted RMM, Print Monitoring and Management, Online Backup and Restore, E-mail and Web Defense, Network Operations Center (NOC), Hosted Professional Services Automation (PSA), Remote Support, Threat Manager, Log Manager, and Help Desk, can be purchased together or separately.
