NEW YORK, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), has been named to the No. 2 spot on Nine Lives Media's seventh-annual MSPmentor 501 Global Edition (http://www.mspmentor.net/top501), a distinguished list and report identifying the world's top 501 managed service providers (MSPs). This year's report includes:

"Being named to the No. 2 spot on a list of the top global managed service providers is a significant achievement, and Logicalis is proud to hold that distinction," says Julie Spiller, Senior Director, Vertical Solutions, Logicalis US. "As today's CIOs transform their technology departments from delivering IT to delivering IT as a service, as many as 61 percent in a recent study said they want to make better or more extensive use of managed service providers. Because we are a global MSP with established vendor and distributor relationships and an array of service offerings, we are able to meet our clients' needs for outsourced services as well as extend our partnerships and industry expertise to help small and midsized MSPs scale their businesses to meet this growing industrywide demand. As both customer and smaller MSP organizations search for IT partners, lists like the MSPmentor 501 give them a good place to start. We are honored to have been included among the world's top managed service providers, and even more honored to have attained the No. 2 spot worldwide for the second year in a row."
The MSPmentor 501 report is based on data from MSPmentor's global online survey, conducted October-December 2013. The MSPmentor 501 report recognizes top managed service providers based on a range of metrics, including annual managed services revenue growth, revenue per employee, managed services offered and customer devices managed.
"MSPmentor congratulates Logicalis on this unique honor," said Amy Katz, president of Nine Lives Media, a Penton business. "Qualifying for our MSPmentor 501 Global Edition puts Logicalis in rare company."
MSPs on this year's global 501 list lifted their combined annual recurring revenues $2.61 billion, continuing seven straight years of strong growth. Together, those MSPs now manage more than 700,000 servers, according to Jessica Davis, managing editor, MSPmentor.
