MEXICO CITY, Dec. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM)
announced today that Nubity Inc., has grown from a startup in
Mexico City to a global provider
of cloud services by partnering with IBM as part of the SoftLayer
Catalyst program. The Catalyst program, which is currently being
integrated into the IBM Cloud Global Entrepreneur Program, helps
startups like Nubity Inc. by providing access to open, secure,
scalable cloud infrastructure, executive mentorship and a robust
ecosystem of partners and clients.
Nubity provides an on-demand consumption service that helps its
clients integrate and monitor public and private cloud deployments
– as well as deployments from disparate vendors – through a
software-as-a-service (SaaS) model based on cloud infrastructure
from SoftLayer, an IBM company. With this tool, customers can easy
consolidate a view of their complete IT environments with a unique
and strategic dashboard. The system provides alerts for preventive
and corrective actions and on-time delegation of server management
to help customers maintain confidence as they migrate to cloud.
"We have found a technological partner in IBM with which we
count on every time we start a new project or a daring idea," said
Dario Pena, CEO and co-founder of
Nubity Inc.
Nubity expects 100 percent year-over-year growth through 2015,
focusing on clients in Mexico,
Colombia and the United States. With operation headquarters
in Mexico and Argentina, and with service deployment
coverage throughout every country in Latin America, Nubity has grown more than 600
percent since the end of 2012 and serves clients for more than 10
countries in Latin America,
Europe and the US, in e-commerce,
media, advertising and marketing industries.
"Nubity's story is a testament to the value that IBM and
SoftLayer can bring to startups. Through a comprehensive mix of
consulting, a robust ecosystem and scalable global cloud
infrastructure, Nubity is helping its clients gain control over
their IT environments with an innovative, secure platform," said
Rita Radi, Catalyst Community
Development Manager for LATAM, SoftLayer.
Having grown through the SoftLayer Catalyst program, Nubity is
now a part of IBM and SoftLayer's partner programs, giving it the
opportunity to take advantage of the consulting, promotional
initiatives, entrepreneur forums and IBM's cloud ecosystem
development from each program to drive growth. Also, Nubity
participated as a finalist within SmartCamp Mexico 2014 edition,
IBM's global entrepreneurs program. Nubity is now part of a select
group of startups in Mexico
supported by 500Startups, an early stage investment fund.
Through IBM, Nubity gained access to new markets through IBM
Cloud marketplace – a single online destination that brings IBM's
capabilities-as-a-service and those of partners and third party
vendors with the security and resiliency enterprises expect.
SoftLayer is the only IaaS provider with a single private network
connecting all data centers and points of presence. This has
enabled Nubity to scale out its cloud infrastructure while taking
advantage of SoftLayer's unlimited private network traffic between
all of its facilities to lower its bandwidth costs.
"Nubity is one of those fundamental companies for any business
seeking to scale their operations efficiently," said Juan Lopez Salaberry, 500Startups Partner.
"Today we see how companies are looking to provide the best
customer experience through new models based on the best
technologies. Nubity is able to help its clients find that
balance."
