MPLS: Sales Advice for the Cloud Era
Just because cloud has come along, that doesn't mean there's no longer use for MPLS.
Low-cost IP VPNs have improved, but performance can be inconsistent. MPLS is still important for performance-based applications on a wide-area network. And it’s often in demand in cloud infrastructures.
In this short video, Channel Partners' Craig Galbraith explains the topics that you should broach when selling MPLS to customers who use a virtual private network (VPN) over the Internet – and those who already have an MPLS network but want to add services or switch suppliers.

How to Sell Customers on DDoS Prevention Recorded: Feb 15 2016 3 mins

Partners can help their customers stop a DDoS attack, or, at the least, mitigate the consequences that result.
In this short video, Channel Partners' Craig Galbraith shows you how it's done.
