Ospero Launching of its Storage-as-a-Service Offering

Ospero Ltd., a cloud service provider,
announced the launch of its Storage-as-a-Service offering powered by the EMC
VMAX Cloud Edition, a self-service, enterprise, as-a-service, cloud
delivery platform.

Ospero joined the group of EMC Velocity Service Providers
early this year. The program enables a selected
group of service providers to deliver cloud services to
customers. Together, EMC and Velocity Service Providers offer a consolidated,
customer-focused approach to designing, architecturing and running an environment
that coordinates private cloud with compatible off-premises workload services
to form an hybrid cloud strategy.

The Ospero Storage-as-a-Service (StaaS) offering delivers a change
to enterprise customers in terms of cost, performance, reliability, speed and
security. The payment model is for what they consume in terms of space and
performance, which means a capital expenditure of an appliance is not necessary.
By leveraging different solutions – public, private or hybrid cloud – this
service, which is powered by VMAX Cloud Edition, simplifies the storage
procurement and management process, allowing lower.

Ospero will be leveraging the strengths of its global data center provider, Equinix, Inc. who has one of the largest
data center worldwide footprints. With access to over 100 data centers in five
continents and service availability in EMEA, NA and APJ, Ospero has the ability
to manage any enterprise work load with virtually limitless capacity and
performance in any major business hub.

"Joining the EMC Velocity Service
Provider program is an honor. At Ospero, we are proud to be a part of this
prestigious group of Service providers, and we’re thrilled to deliver services
to our customers based on EMC’s powerful VMAX Cloud Edition offering,"
said Jason Currill, CEO, Ospero. "The
Ospero Storage as a Service, based on VMAX Cloud Edition, provides an
EMC-powered service that enables our global enterprise customers a wide range
of performance choices and capacity, which enables us to scale our business
quicker than ever. The resulting elasticity allows users to expand and contract
at will. This is achieved by using the performance catalogue,
self-provisioning, data encryption, pay as you consume model and the overall
exceptional performance – all managed by our own vPlatform."

"We believe that Ospero’s approach
to storage-as-a-service will provide our mutual customers with the ability to
migrate and deploy private and hybrid workloads to the cloud while addressing
the concerns many enterprise customers have when considering pure-play public
cloud platforms" said Mauro Bonfanti, EMEA service provider group director. 
"We are delighted to welcome Ospero
to the Velocity Service Provider Program as a partner leveraging VMAX cloud
Edition."
