Grazed from PR NewsWire. Author: PR Announcement.

SendGrid, the cloud-based email delivery service, today announced its partnership with ProfitBricks, the Cloud Computing – Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) company. The partnership is a strategic milestone for both companies with SendGrid continuing expansion efforts with a leading IaaS provider and ProfitBricks referring customers with transactional email to SendGrid to solve their customers’ email deliverability challenges.

Launched in 2009, SendGrid has quickly emerged as a leader in transactional email, sending over 9 billion emails per month for over 150,000 customers, which include Pinterest, Spotify, Airbnb, and Foursquare. ProfitBricks, founded in 2010, has rapidly expanded its second generation Cloud Computing footprint in Europe and the U.S. It’s recent price drop and continued performance leadership puts ProfitBricks in the enviable position as Cloud Computing’s price/performance leader…

Through the partnership, ProfitBricks’ customers will benefit from SendGrid’s SMTP services and APIs, email deliverability features, best-of-class customer support, and advanced analytics. ProfitBricks’ customers can take advantage of SendGrid’s advanced deliverability features, including their own dedicated IP address, whitelist services, ISP deliverability outreach, feedback loops and more, as well as Sub-User, Parse and Event APIs.

ProfitBricks’ flexible and performance focused Cloud architecture allows developers to pay only for the Cloud Computing resources that they actually consume. ProfitBricks’ innovation also includes multiple methods for creating and managing virtual data centers including a unique drag-and-drop Data Center Design tool and APIs. This partnership will generate significant value to SendGrid’s business and customers.

Commenting on the partnership, Jim Franklin, CEO of SendGrid, said: “This is an exciting time for SendGrid as we continue to implement our global expansion strategy and build our presence in the fast-growing cloud computing market. We are delighted to be working closely with ProfitBricks, a recognised market-leader in IaaS innovation. I am confident that our partnership will grow and mature as we work together to help businesses solve email deliverability challenges globally.”

Achim Weiss, Co-founder and CEO of ProfitBricks, commented: “We’ve been seeing an increasing demand from customers that need to send email from their SaaS and Web applications hosted in our data centers. Our partnership with SendGrid alleviates the challenges and headaches our customers face when setting up and managing their own SMTP servers. SendGrid provides ProfitBricks’ customers access to all the necessary email deliverability capabilities for their applications via APIs, allowing them to focus on their business and application instead of managing email servers.”
