ATLANTA, Aug. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- iVision, a
leading IT consulting and managed cloud service provider, announced
plans today to offer third-generation DRaaS and BaaS cloud
offerings in collaboration with Equinix, the global interconnection
and data center company. The expanded capabilities will leverage
infrastructure by hyperscaler cloud providers, including AWS and
Microsoft Azure. Development of these new features coincides with
Equinix's recent acquisition of Infomart Dallas, a 1.6 million
gross-square-foot facility (one of the largest interconnection hubs
in the U.S.), where iVision currently hosts and operates a large
subset of its Fusion Recovery (DRaaS) and Fusion Protect (BaaS)
cloud-based service offerings.
With the variety of new features and choices available in cloud
infrastructure for backup or DR, customers using the iVision Cloud
Fusion platform will be able to build towards a true multi-cloud
strategy, while keeping the operations, procedures and support
centrally managed by iVision's engineering and support staff.
"We're very excited to see Equinix's acquisition of the Dallas
Infomart location; a key location for hosting the infrastructure
that powers our Fusion cloud offerings," states Eric Aslaksen, CTO of iVision. "Being able to
leverage the newly expanded Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ (ECX
Fabric™), puts our network and security edge closer to the
hyperscalers infrastructure, a key element in our multi-cloud
strategy, and an integral component for how we plan to evolve our
Fusion service platform into its 3rd generation."
Equinix Vice President of Global Partners & Alliances,
Greg Adgate said, "By providing
direct and secure access to iVision's Cloud for Backup & DR on
Platform Equinix, we can help enterprises interconnect with the
leading cloud hyperscalers and fully realize the benefits of hybrid
and multi-cloud in a trusted, secure, low-latency deployment."
As customer demand grows, iVision has already begun working
closely with key clients to preview some of the new Fusion
multi-cloud capabilities leveraging the features of ECX Fabric, for
example, low-cost high-speed direct access into Microsoft Azure
cloud storage for offsite backups. Development and testing efforts
are expected to speed up through the remainder of the year as
iVision increases its focus on supporting customers' multi-cloud
initiatives.
