Kantrix partner program

Your brand.
Your customers.
Your margin.

Kantrix gives you one platform for every customer, on any hardware and any cloud: virtual machines, containers, storage and networking, run from one portal with your name on it. You set the price. We never sell around you.

01The channel promise

We never go around you.

Your customer relationships took years to build. We are not going to compete with you for them.

  1. 1We don't sell paid plans. Partners do.
  2. 2When a business asks us about Kantrix, we hand it to a partner in its region.
  3. 3If it names you as its provider, you hear from us first. We never sign it up around you.
  4. 4The one exception, stated plainly: we sell Kantrix Sovereign directly to defense and intelligence, central federal government, energy and water, and telecommunications. Partners don't sell into those sectors unless the organization's own legal counsel permits it in writing. Businesses in our design partner program never buy from us either: when it ends, each moves to its own MSP if that MSP is a partner, or to the highest-tier partner in its region.
02What you sell

One portal for every customer. Your name on it.

Stop stitching five tools together for each site. Run every customer from one place, and sell more from the same platform.

Your brand, not ours

Your logo and your domain on the portal. Your customers never see the Kantrix name.

Every customer walled off

Each customer gets its own networks, roles and audit log. Nothing for you to build.

Billing that adds up

Usage measured per customer, ready to export to your PSA or billing tool.

Backup and recovery to resell

Another line on every invoice, run from the same portal as everything else.

Cloud in the same fleet

Cloud and on-site nodes side by side, so you can offer recovery to the cloud.

Your own app catalogue

Publish the apps your customers use, and deploy them to any site from Hub.

03How you make money

You set the price. The margin is yours.

You buy Kantrix per node, at a partner rate that drops as you grow, and you decide what your customers pay. There's no minimum commitment, and two nodes stay free, so a new customer costs you nothing to start.

Shared once we've both signed a mutual NDA, so your customers never see your cost
04Bring your customers across

Every VMware renewal letter is a project for you.

Kantrix Migrate moves your customers' VMs onto Kantrix at no charge, and the original VM stays as your fallback until the customer signs off. Offer a free VMware exit assessment, and turn the renewal into your proposal.

  1. Step 1

    Connect

    Point Migrate at the customer's vCenter.

  2. Step 2

    Copy

    Migrate copies the VM onto the new nodes.

  3. Step 3

    Cut over

    Start it on Kantrix. Keep the original switched off until the customer signs off.

05Any hardware. Any cloud.

We don't care what it runs on. Neither should you.

Kantrix treats a server in a customer's back room and a VM in a public cloud the same way: as a node in one fleet. No hardware list to buy from, no capacity to license.

Your vendor, your pricing

Buy servers from the vendor you already partner with. Build your status there, and get better pricing on hardware you trust.

You own it. Use all of it.

Every core, every gigabyte, every terabyte. We don't meter it and we don't cap it.

Cloud in the same fleet

Enrol cloud VMs as nodes beside on-site servers, and see your customers' cloud accounts in the same portal.

  1. 1Install on a server, or start a cloud VM
  2. 2Enrol it to a customer and a site
  3. 3Run VMs, containers and apps across all of it from one portal

Want a hand showing it to a customer? Ask, and we'll help you run the demo.

08Questions

What MSPs ask us.

All partner questions →
Do you sell direct?

Not paid plans, with one exception we state openly. We sell Kantrix Sovereign directly to defense and intelligence, central federal government, energy and water, and telecommunications. Everything else goes through partners, including the few businesses in our design partner program: when it ends, each moves to its own MSP if that MSP is a partner, or to the highest-tier partner in its region. Anyone can run two nodes free.

What happens when my customer contacts you?

We send them back to you. If they name you as their provider, you hear from us first.

Why isn't partner pricing on this page?

Because your customers can read this page too. We share partner rates after a mutual NDA, so your cost and your margin stay between us.

Will my customers see the Kantrix name?

No. The portal carries your logo and your domain.

Who supports my customers?

You support your customers, and we support you: business hours for Registered partners, 24/7 for every tier above.

Bring Kantrix to your customers.
