Giving your networking services business a significant boost with Netgear ‘Insight’

For value-added resellers and managed service providers delivering networking services, being able to stay on top of, and quickly manage client's networking ecosystem is key to success.

As well as this, as reseller partners struggle to remain competitive and migrate from a straight up reseller model to operating under a service provider model, the fact is that speed-to-market is critical.

Netgear's Insight platform is giving resellers a leg-up in the market in this sense, delivering the ability for service providers to remotely and efficiently manage the networking environments of multiple clients from a single pane of glass.

Netgear Insight gives partners "Unified visibility and control" over their clients networking environments, providing the capacity for easy device onboarding, intuitive set-up, remote network management and full monitoring.

It allows partners to instantly discover, configure, and continuously monitor and manage the network ecosystems of multiple clients, including access points, switches and storage devices.

Netgear says its mission for Insight is to give Netgear channel partners a real platform to build and grow their SMB networking services business.

Insight provides the ability for rapid migration with a flexible platform that grows as partners grow, enabling the transition from reseller to service provider with cloud-based device management and monitoring platform.
