Our Business Case
The Solution
WINDOWS SERVER 2003
With the impending end of
support for SBS & Windows
Server 2003 we were looking for
a Hybrid IT alternative with a
unique offering, a good business
case and highly compelling
value proposition for customers.

the marketplace and provides a structured way to safely
migrate to the cloud for both IT partners and their customers.
We are building an ecosystem that leverages Zynstra's unique
value position and offers a complete business model that can
be customized and replicated profitably by our IT partners.
RECURRING REVENUE
We wanted a solution that
offered our IT partners and
Resellers a subscription based,
recurring revenue model that
enhanced our own service
vision.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
In order to lead the market we
were looking for a solution that
could help us and our IT
partners to offer something
truly unique whilst improving
efficiencies.
PREDICTABLE, RECURRING REVENUE

offers real value to end customers, and significant support
efficiencies to our IT partners. Working with CloudMSP can

opportunities or support more customers with their existing
team size leading to greater profitability and enterprise value.
Zynstra enables SMB organizations to cost effectively
access enterprise class IT, improve productivity and
eradicate the need for future IT refreshments.
THE ZYNSTRA PROPOSITION
Zynstra enables its partners to offer their customers highly efficient and cost effective ‘IT as a service’ for a predictable monthly fee.
The Zynstra solution runs local IT services on cloud managed server appliances (a private cloud) that are integrated with Public Cloud
Services like Microsoft Office 365 and Windows Azure for access to hosted applications and Disaster Recovery services in the event of
loss of local IT capability.
WHAT WE OFFER
Local IT Appliance
The Zynstra Cloud Managed
Server Appliance is the
intelligent, resilient onpremise IT hub. Delivering a
local private cloud, it
enables management of
customer credentials and
SSO through Microsoft
Active Directory, file and
print services and can host
applications that are
required to be run locally
on-site on Windows or
Linux VM’s.
Cloud Services
The Appliances are
monitored and managed
from a single cloud portal.
They are backed up to
Microsoft Azure from where
a full disaster recovery
service can be provided in
the event of loss of the
Appliances or customer site.
In addition, SSO is provided
to Microsoft Office 365 and
cloud hosted applications.
Office 365 files are backed up
to the local Appliance.
‘Keep Current’
& Backed Up
Zynstra’s unique technology
reduces server admin
workloads by 90% or more.
Appliances are ‘kept current’
in terms of intelligent
automation of security,
patching of operating
systems and managed
applications, and Back Up of
data and server images. This
capability dramatically
reduces the administrative IT
overheads and improves
service availability.
Managed Service
The Zynstra solution is
delivered as a managed service
by Zynstra’s approved
partners.
There are no capital costs and
the transition is managed and
supported.
Payment is via a service fee
which is available on monthly
or annual terms.
WHAT THE ANALYSTS ARE SAYING
“Hybrid clouds offer a cost effective way to manage viable demand capacity. To build a traditional private cloud requires not only
capital investment for hardware but also significant skills, both of which SMEs find difficult to acquire. The approach developed by
Zynstra offers a simple solution to this problem. “ Roy Illsley, Ovum
