The investment will fuel R&D (research and development), sales and marketing for Avatara CompleteCloud. The platform's services span:
- private cloud capabilities;
- managed security services;
- managed IT services; and
- VoIP (voice over IP) services.
In some ways, Avatara is a master MSP of sorts -- providing a mix of managed and cloud services to peer MSPs and cloud channel partners.
