San Jose, CA –
June 17,2008 — RHUB Communications, Inc. (RHUB), a premier
provider of Web conferencing appliances, announced the expansion
of its US reseller channel program with the appointment of D&H
Distributing. D&H is one of the largest distributors of
computers and peripheral devices in the United States, and has
been on the leading edge of technology and innovation for 90
years. Under the agreement, D&H will offer RHUB’s on-premise
TurboMeeting Web conferencing appliance, configured with the
Company’s proprietary TurboMeeting software and other key Web
conference applications.
TurboMeeting supports both fully interactive and “view only”
attendees in the same Web conference. Users can share
information from one computer or among many, and TurboMeeting is
both PC and Mac-compatible. Users can also remotely control and
support other computers and access one computer from another.
TurboMeeting extends real-time collaboration beyond conventional
Web conferencing solutions
by combining multiple applications:
• Web conferencing: Web-based
interactive meetings
• Remote support: remotely
support PC and Mac users
• Remote Access: remote
access to computers at home or office from anywhere, anytime
• Web Seminars:
non-download results in quick (in seconds), easy (URL only) and
the most reliable way for large groups of attendees to join
meetings
“D&H is always working to deliver innovative networking products
to its resellers,” said Rob Eby, Vice President of Purchasing at
D&H. “We want to help those resellers assemble better solutions,
ones that create more effective ways for their end users to
conduct business. RHUB has a strong solution that will let VARs
help their SMB customers build more sophisticated communication
infrastructures.”
“The primary factor driving RHUB’s reseller channel expansion is
to reach the small and medium size resellers who support their
customers remotely,” said Larry Dorie, CEO of RHUB
Communications. “TurboMeeting helps resellers improve customer
satisfaction and enhances their ability to demonstrate products,
while driving down costs.”
The market for Web
conferencing services and products is projected to grow from
$1 billion in 2006 to close to $1.5 billion by 2010, according
to Andy Nilssen, Senior Analyst & Partner with Wainhouse
Research. "Fueling this growth is the expansion of
Web conferences beyond
scheduled to ad-hoc meetings,” said Nilssen. “This requires
users to have access to a web conferencing resource that is on
tap at all times with little-to-no incremental cost per use.
RHUB's TurboMeeting fits this model well."
