Technology systems integrator IGXGlobal, a subsidiary of US-based ePlus Inc, will begin offering its customised storage as-a-service, powered by Pure Storage Evergreen//One, to customers across the UK and Europe.
IGX's offering combines flexible subscription models for storage consumption of Pure Storage Evergreen//One with IGX technical support and customer success resources.
Expansion of the service into the UK and Europe will enable European organisations to leverage IGX benefits, including expedited time to issue resolution, first-call technical support, greater insights into storage capacity planning, billing, and forecasting, a consumption-based utility model, and on-demand burst capacity to facilitate business “agility and growth”, said the provider.
"Storage as-a-service is resonating with our customers across many industries due to its flexible consumption model, which enables organisations to minimise the risk of over- or under-buying data centre infrastructure capacity," said Justin Mescher, vice president of AI, cloud, and data centre solutions at IGXGlobal. "With the rapidly growing interest in AI applications, the need for on-demand burst and growth capacity has increased substantially, resulting in new customer demands."
"The expansion of IGX's storage service offering demonstrates exciting momentum for delivering the Pure Platform to our joint customers," said Wendy Stusrud, vice president of global partner sales at Pure Storage. "With Pure Storage Evergreen//One powering the IGX technology, our customers have an unrivalled data storage solution that meets their most challenging use cases.”
