Erie, PA, February 14, 2022 — Velocity Network (VNET) announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Velocity Network to its Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 List in the Security 100 category for 2022. CRN’s annual MSP 500 list identifies the leading service providers in North America whose forward-thinking approaches to managed services are changing the landscape of the IT channel, helping end-users increase efficiency and simplify IT solutions while maximizing their return on investment.
With many customers still recovering from the impact of the ongoing pandemic, MSPs have become a vital part of the success of businesses worldwide. MSPs empower organizations to leverage intricate technologies and help them keep a strict focus on their core business goals without straining their budgets.
The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: the MSP Pioneer 250, recognizing companies with business models weighted toward managed services and primarily focused on the SMB market; the MSP Elite 150, recognizing large, data center-focused MSPs with a strong mix of on- and off-premises services; and the Managed Security 100, identifying MSPs focused primarily on off-premises and cloud-based security services.
“In addition to having to adjust their business operations to account for the changed conditions during the pandemic, MSPs have also seen increased demand for their managed communications, collaboration, and security services,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “The solution providers on our 2022 MSP 500 list deserve credit for their innovative and game-changing approaches to managed services in these unpredictable times, as well as their ability to optimize operational efficiencies and systems without straining IT budgets.”
According to Velocity Network CEO Joel Deuterman, “We are honored to have been acknowledged on CRN’s Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Security 100 category for 2022. It’s a testament to the hard work and dedication that the VNET team puts into cybersecurity on a daily basis.”
The MSP 500 list will be featured in the February 2022 issue of CRN and online at www.crn.com/msp500.
