TierPoint Launches Hybrid Private Cloud Built on Microsoft Azure Stack and the Dell APEX Cloud Platform
21 Mayo 2024 - 8:00AM
TierPoint, a leading provider of secure, connected IT platform
solutions that power digital transformation initiatives, today
announced its newest service, a Hybrid Private Cloud built on
Microsoft Azure Stack, with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and
Azure Arc, offered exclusively on the Dell APEX Cloud Platform for
Microsoft Azure.
The new private cloud solution enables Microsoft
Azure services and capabilities in all of TierPoint’s 40 secure,
enterprise-grade data centers nationwide. Offering both
infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service
(PaaS), Azure Stack shares its code, application programming
interfaces (APIs), and management portal with Microsoft Azure,
enabling seamless connectivity to Azure for backup, disaster
recovery, and cloud-based monitoring.
Coupled with TierPoint’s extensive experience
with private, public, and hybrid cloud deployments, the new
solution is ideal for companies seeking private cloud alternatives
that enable high-performance databases, virtual desktop
infrastructure (VDI), and disaster recovery, while fulfilling
production, business continuity, security, and regulatory
compliance objectives.
“Increasingly, today’s IT leaders are building
their cloud strategies on a hybrid approach, blending private and
public cloud options to achieve the best possible performance and
integration of their diverse applications and workloads,” said
TierPoint Chairman and CEO Jerry Kent. “Our managed private cloud
offering built on Microsoft Azure Stack and the Dell APEX Cloud
Platform is hybrid by design, deployable on the edge of the
network, enabling the seamless movement of workloads between
private and public clouds, all supported by our well-established
track record as a Microsoft advanced specialization partner and
Dell Technologies Gold partner.”
“This move strengthens TierPoint’s relationship
with Microsoft and allows its clients to leverage Azure VMs, Azure
Kubernetes Service, and Azure Virtual Desktop in TierPoint’s 40 US
data centers, increasing TierPoint’s capacity to serve customers
anywhere and offering a vital option to their private cloud
customers,” said Chris Andrew, general manager, datacenter
optimization at Microsoft.
