IS Group, Dutch specialist in cloud computing and IT Services, has a new deal with Microsoft to deliver hybrid cloud computing solutions for business-critical e-commerce websites, media services and Software-as-a-Service companies.
Central to this collaboration is hybrid cloud, connecting separate components of an IT infrastructure (on-premise, private cloud and public cloud) so that applications and data can run at the most suitable place.
This can be a particular location or country, or distributed globally. IS takes care of the 24/7 management of the hybrid cloud environment and offers a wide range of managed services as well as monitoring and reporting possibilities.
Jan Willem des Tombe, CEO of IS Group: "With this innovative proposition we eliminate a number of important barriers for the adoption of cloud computing as a complete IT solution. We provide the knowledge and expertise to move into the cloud and we guarantee the availability and performance of the cloud. In addition, we are responsible for the security of applications and data. The specific knowledge of IS as a Dutch service provider in combination with the global scale of Microsoft Azure makes this a unique and compelling proposition."
