Egenera Expands Xterity Cloud Service to AsiaPac

Egenera, Inc., a provider of wholesale cloud services and cloud management solutions, announced its Xterity Cloud Service in Tokyo.

Xterity is serving a total of six regions: San Jose, CA, Ashburn VA, and Boston, MA in the US, and Ireland, the UK and Japan.

Xterity Cloud Services deliver dedicated, managed, private and hybrid cloud services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), DR as a Service (DRaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS), exclusively through the channel. With Xterity, resellers can enter the cloud services market with no up-front capital or ongoing maintenance costs. Unlike reselling public cloud services, Xterity delivers the margins resellers need to develop a profitable cloud services business.

“Xterity will enable service providers to quickly provide flexible cloud services without upfront investment, so users can secure their data with high reliability and quality,” said Koichi Suzuki, deputy president, Daiwa Institute of Research Ltd (DIR). “We also have a high degree of confidence in the further enhancement of Xterity so that we can enjoy and deliver easy-to-use and reliable IT services.“

With Xterity Cloud Service established in Tokyo, the company is poised to gain traction in the large and growing Japanese cloud market. Research indicates that Japan and the APAC region as a whole is adopting cloud services at a record pace. According to International Data Corporation, the size of the public cloud market in Japan for 2015 is ¥251.6 billion (29.5% growth over 2014) and is predicted to be ¥540.4 billion (2.8 times of 2014) by 2019.
