DigitalOcean Announces Solutions Partner Program

DigitalOcean, the cloud for developing modern apps, today announced the official launch of the DigitalOcean Solutions Partner Program. The program enables companies to deploy, modernize and migrate their customers’ infrastructure on DigitalOcean with custom support and pricing optimized for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).  

The Solutions Partner Program serves two distinct types of partners:

• Managed service and IT providers, cloud resellers and web development agencies who focus on selling DigitalOcean infrastructure along with their own services; and

• Platform builders who develop their own technology solutions on top of DigitalOcean.

Partners receive access to resources and content to help get their clients up and running seamlessly. They are also invited to an exclusive partner community where they collaborate with other members and get direct access to experts from DigitalOcean’s sales, support and technical teams. This allows growing businesses, which may lack the technical capabilities or resources, to take full advantage of DigitalOcean’s knowledge-base and expertise.

“DigitalOcean’s mission is to make modern app development easier for and more accessible to developers and businesses around the world. We believe partners are essential to this vision,” said DigitalOcean Chief Customer Officer Jeff Giannetti. “Our Solutions Partner Program, focuses on super-serving a segment of the market often overlooked – small to medium-sized businesses. With our core DigitalOcean Developer Cloud, partners benefit from the highly-performant, scalable infrastructure required to serve growing SMBs. This, coupled with a level of transparency and flexibility unseen in other vendor programs, enables partners to provide a highly reliable and cost-effective offering for their customers.”

In March, DigitalOcean launched a pilot program for the Solutions Partner Program alongside its Partner App Marketplace — a platform that connects developers with easy-to-use partner-built solutions to enable easier app development. Since then, more than 400 partners from 55 different countries have joined the program.

DigitalOcean partners focus on delivering value for the growing SMB market – offering everything from web development and hosting, to video streaming platforms and developer tools. Initial strategic partners include: Section.io, an Edge Computing Platform; Red 5 Pro, a real time video streaming platform; IncSub, a managed WordPress provider; Jet Server, a managed cloud provider; StablePoint, a fully managed cPanel web hosting service; efelle Creative, a digital creative agency; Indus Net Technologies, a premier web development and digital services company and MilesWeb, a managed web hosting company.

“With IndusNet providing offerings across industries including Financial Services, Healthcare, Public Services, etc., it helps to be a part of the Solutions Partner Program with DigitalOcean. The simplicity of their platform allows our team to focus on creating the best solutions for our clients. That’s the kind of peace of mind you can’t put a price on” said Abhishek Rungta, Founder and CEO, Indus Net Technologies.

“MilesWeb’s focus has always been to provide the best and most cost-effective solutions for our customers,” said Chetan Mahale, Founder and Director, MilesWeb. “Being a part of the DigitalOcean’s Solutions Partner Program provides us with access to a larger customer base and a reliable infrastructure that we’re proud to associate our brand with.” 

As the program evolves, partners can expect additional benefits and support that helps make it easy for them to get started.
