In an announcement timed to coincide with Microsoft’s partner conference this week, the distributor introduced new services aimed at helping resellers design, build, and manage Azure-based infrastructure solutions.

The acquisition is the first step in what Arcserve describes as a 12-month process to build the industry’s first “disaster avoidance” solution for mid-market companies with both hybrid cloud and cloud-only deployment options.

The distributor will add editions of its recently introduced hosted SMB network-in-a-box that include the Microsoft 365 Business suite as soon as that freshly unveiled product enters general availability this fall.

Called One Commercial Partner, it brings all of Microsoft’s partner resources together in one place and is backed by $250 million in new investments and a new set of embeddable cloud-based services for Azure software developers.

The new deployment option targets SaaS resellers who want to use ConnectWise’s cloud management system but not the rest of its managed services software suite. New billing and single sign-on capabilities for CloudConsole debuted today as well.

The new options are designed to make selling the vendor’s virtual machine backup solution easier for MSPs.

It doesn’t exist as a shipping product yet, anyway. An experimental virtual desktop infrastructure system demoed at Datto’s annual North American partner conference this week has attendees buzzing with interest though.
