Pervazive also has pTOM-ServAssure; a solution that proactively monitors network faults and automatically fixes them before consumers experience degradation in Quality of Service (QoS). Talking about the revenue model, Avinash says, “Our revenue model so far has been through channel partnerships with equipment vendors, ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) that embed our solutions on their private cloud to drive annual subscription revenues to Pervazive.” Pervazive has achieved traction with Tier 1 enterprises and currently focuses on India markets. Having put in his own money, Avinash has been able to build a cash positive company but to take it to the next level, he is currently seeking funds.

Concluding with their expansion plans, Avinash says, “We are shortly launching on the public cloud to target small to medium CSPs with contextual pricing models.” Making inroads in the enterprise sector has always been tricky and a matter of debate but with a cartload of experience behind their back, Pervazive has a good chance of sailing the tides.
