Nine Lives Media Inc. Names Excel Micro Inc. to the Talkin’ Cloud 50

First of Its Kind Research Report Identifies the World’s Top VARs, MSPs and Channel Partners in Cloud Computing

Philadelphia, PA, June 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Excel Micro Incorporated has landed on Nine Lives Media Inc.’s first-ever Talkin’ Cloud 50, a unique list and free research report identifying the world’s top 50 VARs, MSPs and IT service providers in cloud computing.

"We are honored to be recognized by Nine Lives Media and Talkin’ Cloud," said Joseph Vaccone, President & CEO of Excel Micro. "This would not be possible without the dedication shown by our internal support department to our thousands of valued resellers worldwide."

The Talkin’ Cloud 50 report, available at http://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.

“Nine Lives Media Inc. and Talkin’ Cloud congratulate Excel Micro Inc. 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.”

“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.”

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.
