Cherry-picking cloud services

More partnership news as cloud services providers look to effectively `share out’ their services add the ones they lack from others that have that particular capability.

A recent example is the partnership formed between IT solutions provider, Norisco Ltd, and Core DataCloud, a cloud service provider. Core DataCloud specialises in the provision of services in three key areas – Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service, Cloud File Archiving, and ‘Sync and Share’ for enterprise file sharing across multiple devices.

‘We are really pleased to announce our new partnership with Core DataCloud. We’re expanding our portfolio of cloud services and these additional managed cloud services enhance what we already offer. Blending both cloud services and on-premise solutions is a key requirement for our customers today, backed by technology from leading vendors such as EMC, with whom Norisco already have established relationships”, said Eamon Campbell, Managing Director at Norisco.

The amount of data that has to be stored, backed up and managed in businesses today is phenomenal – over 80 percent of which is inactive after 90 days. This represents huge costs in both time and money. The solutions now offered to customers not only allow anytime access to their data from any device, but also reduce storage and management costs. The data is held and managed in secure UK datacentres, an important consideration for many organisations.

“Core DataCloud are building our channel only go-to-market strategy in the UK and working with fast-growing and established partners like Norisco, will be an important factor for our growth and success. It’s an exciting time for us both as we join forces and combine our sales and marketing effort to find opportunities for cloud-based services”, added Sharad Saggar, Managing Director at Core DataCloud.
