Arrow and Equinix are showcasing the first preconfigured
solutions at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference next week
in Toronto. Initially based on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
hardware and software, these are the first in a series of hybrid
cloud deployments utilizing the Equinix Cloud Exchange™ that Arrow
will release in 2016.
“Managed hybrid cloud will be the key to channel partners’
success for the future,” said Steve Robinson, vice president of
Arrow’s global cloud business. “The Equinix-Arrow hybrid cloud
solution coupled with a direct connection to Microsoft Azure via
Equinix Cloud Exchange gives our channel partners a robust,
easy-to-consume solution that delivers a secure, high-performance
hybrid cloud located in multiple markets around the globe.”
The new turnkey solutions include prepacked configurations of
HPE hyper-converged systems with HPE Helion CloudSystem and HPE
OneView. The server, storage and software preconfiguration is
located inside select Equinix International Business Exchange™
(IBX®) U.S. data centers and features direct, private access to
leading cloud computing platforms via the Equinix Cloud Exchange™,
including Microsoft Azure via ExpressRoute. Equinix is also adding
Canadian and European data center locations for the preconfigured
solutions over the coming months.
“We are seeing significant growth in enterprise customers
looking to re-architect and re-think their existing IT
infrastructure to reap the benefits of the cloud, and specifically
in a hybrid model. With these prepackaged solutions, we are helping
enterprises expedite their transition to the cloud and quickly
extend their existing infrastructure into Equinix and into the
cloud,” said Greg Adgate, vice president, global technology
partners, Equinix.
Resellers and managed service providers can quote, order and
provision the new preconfigured hybrid cloud solutions in a matter
of minutes through ArrowSphere, Arrow’s online marketplace. Arrow
is also offering a series of playbooks for the Equinix and HPE
offerings to further accelerate successful deployments for
resellers and managed service providers.
Arrow and Equinix will showcase the new solutions and facilitate
ArrowSphere onboarding at booth 1410 at the Microsoft Worldwide
Partner Conference in Toronto starting July 10. Interested
conference attendees are also invited to take a short shuttle bus
ride to the Equinix Toronto data center to tour the facility.
