Halcyon Software has announced a partnership with Network Services Plus, Inc. (NSPI) to enhance the automated operations behind NSPI's data center and managed service offerings supporting IBM iSeries customers.

Under the terms of the partnership, Halcyon and NSPI will deliver an array of IBM automation solutions including Halcyon System Operations Suite and Operations Center to provide message management, reporting management, and job scheduling, to enterprise organizations hard hit by recent economic and resource challenges.

"Halcyon is delighted to be working with NSPI to deliver our advanced systems management portfolio to its managed services customers," said John Dominic, channel manager for Halcyon Software Inc. "After years of working with large managed services companies, we have a good understanding of the outsourcing business."

Halcyon's multi-platform systems management solutions proactively manage and automate IT operations--dramatically reducing system operating and support costs, thereby enabling organizations to do more with less resources, the company said.

NSPI managed services help organizations extend the life and value of legacy systems and applications, reduce service and support costs, and even take advantage of greater computing power and scalable capacity.

With the Halcyon Outsourcer program NSPI will be able to deliver Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to their customers at fixed prices and with a flexible contract. Further, NSPI will be able to easily monitor thousands of users on a 24/7/365 basis.

System and data availability are absolute musts for NSPI customers. Providing a 24/7 monitoring solution is critical for small and medium sized businesses that might not have a hardened, secure, secondary facility and/or the staffing to support," said Tim Roe, sales and marketing director for NSPI. "By working with Halcyon Software, we are excited to be able to offer advanced monitoring and automation to customers at a reasonable cost.
