Intel’s Business Exchange Programme, the online technology marketplace for Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), has selected Elina Networks in the IT and networking category for network infrastructure management and other essential IT services.
Intel’s Business Exchange is a programme that facilitates solution providers to bid for customer businesses that focus on SMBs, bringing together offerings with bundled software and hardware, and stand-alone business applications. The programme enables shoppers to research products and services, request quotes, and connect with solution providers to speed the identification, selection and implementation of technology they need to run their businesses.
Narendra Bhandari, director APAC, Software and Services Group from Intel said, “The Intel Business Exchange (Intel BX) brings together offerings such as bundled software and hardware, stand-alone business applications and services. The community-enabled website includes resources such as product descriptions, interactive demonstrations, whitepapers, case studies, blog entries and user-submitted product ratings and reviews, in order to help SMB professionals find answers to their business challenges.”
“IT and networking is a basic and important technology investment for SMEs. Elina Networks has an offering that allows any PC to be converted into a business and networking gateway. Therefore, we felt that Elina’s value proposition was well suited to customers on IBX.”
Shekar Nair, CEO of Elina Networks, said, “We are pleased to be the first vendor in the IT and networking category and this gives us a strong advantage in reaching customers. The network, security and management functionality provided by our ENPAQ series of Unified Gateway products reduces the cost of implementing and maintaining a network for the organisation.”
While affirming that the ENPAQ is designed to meet the networking and IT needs of today’s SMBs and distributed enterprises, CTO of Elina Networks, Vivek Shenoy said, “Speeding up roll-outs, improving on uptime, and delivering IT value-added services are a few key benefits of the ENPAQ.”
