Parallels Partners with Tucows

Alliance enables the company's customers to easily resell domain registration and SSL Certificates from Tucows' OpenSRS wholesale internet division.

Parallels, a provider of virtualization and automation software, recently announced an alliance with Tucows Inc., a provider of domain names, email and other internet services, whose wholesale internet services group OpenSRS will offer domain names and SSL Certificates to end-users through direct integration with Parallels Business Automation, Parallels Business Automation Standard and Parallels Plesk Panel billing platforms. The company claims that the alliance will result in more ways for its users and OpenSRS resellers to help small and medium business (SMB) customers quickly arm themselves with the web services and tools they need to effectively compete and grow.

"Parallels is excited to augment our ecosystem of partners with an industry leader such as Tucows," said Bryan Goode, VP and GM of Marketplace, Parallels. "The ability to register OpenSRS domains and offer SSL Certificates directly from the Parallels platform is another great feature that bolsters our service providers' ability to profitably sell and deliver services to SMBs."

"We're thrilled to be working with Parallels to integrate domain name management and SSL Certificates through OpenSRS, directly into Parallels' platforms," said Dave Woroch, EVP Sales, Tucows. "This new partnership between Parallels and OpenSRS will provide an even greater opportunity to enable an ever-expanding base of Parallels customers in the hosting industry to offer OpenSRS services."
