Cosentry Named to Managed Service Provider 500 List by CRN

OMAHA, NE--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2015) - Cosentry, the leading provider of IT solutions in the Midwest, today announced it has earned recognition on The Channel Company's 2015 CRN Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list, as a Hosting 100 company, for their Managed Services. The annual list distinguishes top North American technology providers and consultants whose leading approach to managed services enables their customers to improve operational efficiencies, elicit greater value from their IT investments, and successfully leverage technology to achieve a greater competitive advantage. The company will be discussing its cyber security and disaster recovery services at Bytes Food and Lecture series, March 25^th in Kansas and March 26^th in Missouri respectively.

"The allure of Everything-as-a-Service to organizations is largely rooted in the appeal of predictable operational expenses, cost-cutting, resource allocation and access to on-demand/pay-as-you-go technology. Therein lies a great need for the expertise of managed service providers," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "We congratulate the managed service providers who have engineered, or re-engineered, their businesses to deliver the services their customers rely on for future growth and ongoing success."

This year, CRN's industry-focused directory highlights the Top 500 MSPs in three categories:
1. 100 Hosting Providers who are experienced in providing mainly off-premise, or cloud-based services.
2. 150 Elite Service Providers who are large data center-focused solution providers with a strong mix of on-premise professional services as well as off-premise services.
3. 250 Progressive Service Providers who have a business model heavily weighted toward managed services geared toward the small and mid-size business market.

Cosentry's services were selected for CRN's distinguished 100 Hosting Providers list due to the company's deep experience, expertise, and agility in managing sensitive, business-critical infrastructure and application platforms. Whether hosted on Cosentry's private cloud, multi-tenant cloud or public cloud platforms, the company's Managed Services include, but are not limited to:
