Standing Cloud Launches Solution Provider Partner Program
December 13, 2010: Standing Cloud, Inc. announced today that it has launched a Partner Program aimed at application specialist Solution Providers. The program is designed to help grow the business of service providers who customize, support and deploy online applications, ranging from CMS systems like Drupal, WordPress and Plone, CRM systems like vTiger and SugarCRM, and other business tools like Status.Net, OpenVBX and 70 other supported applications.
Solution Provider Partners obtain preferential pricing for hosting applications and sites through the Standing Cloud system, as well as membership in the Standing Cloud Application Network.
Specifically, Partners will receive:

Pricing and services include Standing Cloud's signature application management service:
- 24/7 monitoring and backups
- auto-restore and server resizing
- portability from one cloud provider to another in minutes
