e-ternity Achieves Ranking in Top 50 VARs, MSPs and Resellers in Cloud Computing Based on the Talkin’ Cloud 50 Annual Survey for 2011

Mississauga, Ontario - June 22, 2011 - e-ternity Business Continuity Consultants Inc. a leading services organization that provides monthly internet-based technology services that guarantee business continuance to customers in Canada, was recently ranked among the top 50 Cloud Computing Services Providers globally  in Talkin’ Cloud.  Talkin’ Cloud (www.talkincloud.com), owned by Nine Lives Media Inc. (www.NineLivesMediaInc.com), covers the convergence of cloud computing and the channel. The site combines a video blog, daily news analysis, timely insights and forum chatter (beta) for VARs, MSPs, cloud service providers, cloud aggregators and cloud brokers navigating cloud computing.  

The Talkin’ Cloud 50 report, available at www.talkincloud.com/biz-talk/talkin-cloud-50/ , is based on data from Talkin’ Cloud’s online survey, completed in March 2011. The resulting report, overseen by Editorial Director Joe Panettieri, recognizes top VARs and MSPs in the cloud based on cloud-centric revenues, applications offered, users supported, and additional variables. The report also includes new classes of channel partners, including cloud service providers (CSPs), cloud aggregators and cloud brokers.  The Talkin’ Cloud 50 ranks organizations based on revenue, revenue growth, and percentage revenue growth, where e-ternity ranked in all three categories.  e-ternity is currently represented among global competitors but was the only company in the Greater Toronto Area to be appointed to this list. 

“Nine Lives Media Inc. and Talkin’ Cloud congratulate e-ternity for their leadership role in cloud computing,” said Amy Katz, CEO of Nine Lives Media Inc. “It’s a great to see the channel stepping to the forefront of cloud computing.”

e-ternity’s growth can be attributed to their success with their e-ternity SkyCentre cloud services portfolio.   e-ternity SkyCentre is a suite of monthly cloud services that guarantee business continuance while optimizing business processes. e-ternity uses today's innovative cloud computing technologies to allow an organization to transfer selective day to day management tasks to e-ternity as a strategic method to improve efficiency and effectiveness within its operations. 
“e-ternity recognized the paradigm shift that was taking place in technology services four years ago and made the necessary investments to capitalize on this change,” began Greg Onoprijenko, President and Managing Director of Sales for e-ternity. “Our inclusion on the Talkin’ Cloud 50 today validates our decision to modify our business model four years ago.” 

Panettieri’s involvement in Talkin Cloud, MSP Mentor, and the VAR Guy has given him a perspective on the entire cloud movement in the industry.  “If you tune out the hype and look at the facts it’s clear that the cloud is real,” added Panettieri. “The Talkin’ Cloud 50 companies saw their annual cloud revenues grow nearly 50 percent on average. And the typical company on the list generated at least $6 million in cloud revenues -- a healthy figure considering the market is just getting started.”

“Our inclusion on Talkin’Cloud 50 is a notable accomplishment for us especially since Talkin Cloud.com is a well-respected resource centre for technology professionals,” noted Michael Aaron, Managing Director of Client Experience for e-ternity.  “We’re proud to be recognized and associated with Talkin Cloud.com.”
