Computacenter, Europe’s preferred IT partner and Biomni, innovators in end-user-centric enterprise service catalogue fulfilment, today announce that Biomni is the first organisation in EMEA to be part of the US Early Access Programme for the new VMware vCloud hybrid service (vCHS). Computacenter, which will be taking the vCHS service to market when it launches in the UK in 2014 recommended the service to Biomni and will work with them in an advisory capacity as they participate in the US-only Early Access Programme for the new cloud environment. The new service offers the ability to easily deploy and move applications and data between public and private clouds in a secure, seamless fashion.
"We are delighted to be working with Biomni as it uses the new hybrid cloud environment and the initial testing of running live workloads on vCHS has been very positive,” says Paul Casey, Cloud Lead, Computacenter UK. "vCHS is a secure, enterprise-grade, reliable infrastructure where organisations can deploy and manage new services using the same cloud technology set they use in their own private cloud environments and more easily than with any other provider. It’s living up to our expectations so far and we think vCHS is going to have a big impact in both smaller organisations like Biomni as well as in our enterprise customers”
