Zayo
Group Holdings, Inc., a VMware vCloud Air Network
Service Provider partner, today announced its VMware Hybrid Cloud
Powered cloud service, which provides customers with greater flexibility
through a dedicated hosting environment. Built with and operated using
VMware vSphere 6 and VMware vCloud Director, Zayo can now rapidly
deliver a differentiated hybrid
cloud solution that enables customers to utilize the same VMware
infrastructure off-premises as they are running on-premises.
With these enhanced hybrid cloud solutions, Zayo customers can manage
and move on-premises, VMware-based workloads to Zayo’s private or
multi-tenant cloud infrastructure seamlessly, from a single management
console. Zayo’s new hybrid system provides one integrated interface for
both public and private cloud access, delivering a solution that is
seamless and easy-to-use when moving VMware-based workloads among onsite
data centers, internal private clouds and the public cloud. By
leveraging VMware vCloud Director, Zayo is able to deliver improved
agility, performance and scalability to customers.
In addition, Zayo is offering potential customers a limited test drive
of its public
and private cloud services.
“The industry needs IaaS solutions delivered on a highly flexible,
workload-by-workload basis with the mobility optimized in hybrid cloud
solutions,” said Greg Friedman, executive vice president, Colocation and
Cloud Infrastructure at Zayo. “The enhancements we have made to our
platform, combined with the investments in security and advanced
monitoring, are enabling us to deliver on these new enterprise
requirements.”
“VMware Hybrid Cloud Powered services enable our service provider
partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their
enterprise-class cloud services to market in this competitive
landscape,” said Jim Aluotto, director, Service Providers, Americas,
VMware. “We look forward to supporting Zayo as it delivers on the
agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing
landscape.”

data center resources, enabling service providers to deliver complete
