VMware vCloud Powered Validation Secured by Logicalis’ Enterprise Cloud
January 6, 2012
Logicalis (News – Alert) is aleading global provider of integrated information and communications technology (ICT) solutions and services. They recently made an announcement that their Logicalis Enterprise Cloud (LEC) public cloud service has secured the VMware vCloud Powered status. This is a clear indication to its clients that the organization’s cloud services are underpinned by VMware’s virtualization and cloud computing technology. This technology is called VMware vSphere and VMware vCloud Director. As part of the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP), the Logicalis Enterprise Cloud brings together VMware vCloud technology and gives it the ability to expand its security and workload isolation. In turn, this gives Logicalis the ability to make available highly scalable cloud services to its customer base…
In a release, Mike Martin, Logicalis’ vice president of Cloud Solutions, said, “Logicalis is pleased to have received this important designation. Being recognized with the VMware vCloud Powered status gives users of the Logicalis Enterprise Cloud yet another way to know that they have chosen a cloud partner that has a proven track record in the marketplace. At Logicalis, we recognize that cloud computing needs to provide an open framework that extends to our clients’ IT solution needs, and with the VMware vCloud standards combined with our strong ITIL managed services, we are able to provide a scalable managed cloud solution.”
Clients of Logicalis are now able to transfer workloads from their VMware vSphere-based virtualized or even from private cloud environments to that of VMware vCloud Powered service. This can also be done the other way round. The portability of this application is what sets it apart. It gives clients the flexibility and security that is needed for them to increase their IT agility.
Don Schleicher, Vice President of Service Providers for VMware, said, “The VMware vCloud® Powered program was developed to enable our service provider partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their enterprise-class cloud services to market in this competitive landscape. We look forward to supporting Logicalis further as it delivers on the agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing landscape.”
Logicalis needed VMware vCloud Powered validation to be able to confirm the level of service that was being made available from Logicalis Enterprise Cloud. Now a validated provider, Logicalis will be able to give its users a better responsiveness and agility.
