Zadara, a leader in edge cloud services, announced that it has expanded its technology partnership with Cyxtera, a global leader in data centre colocation and interconnection services. Zadara’s enterprise-grade, expert, managed cloud services – including compute, storage and networking – are now available to Cyxtera customers. Together, the two companies enable customers to upgrade their IT environments, leveraging existing footprints, with a true 100 per cent OpEx consumption-based private cloud.
In a partnership that began spring of last year, Zadara’s fully managed storage-as-a-service has been available in Cyxtera’s 61 highly connected, hybrid-ready data centres worldwide. Now, as a natural extension of the partnership, Zadara’s zCompute has been added to the Cyxtera product portfolio. zCompute delivers a seamless on-demand cloud experience available in Cyxtera data centres, built and managed by Zadara.
Zadara’s cloud services platform simplifies operational complexity through automated end-to-end infrastructure provisioning of compute, storage and networking resources. Following a similar model as Zadara’s industry-leading storage-as-a-service offering, the company’s cloud platform delivers superior turnkey solutions with the benefits of on-demand compute and storage services anywhere, in an existing on-premises data centre, in a private colocation facility, or the cloud.
