Unitas Global, the leading enterprise cloud solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership with
Equinix, the global interconnection and data center company, and
Microsoft Azure
to deliver an end-to-end hybrid cloud solution that enables enterprises
to consume public and private cloud services with full transparency and
ease. Combining Unitas Global's expertise in designing, deploying, and
managing hybrid cloud solutions, Equinix's data center and
interconnection services, and Microsoft's Azure public cloud, the
enterprise solution delivers application enablement and multi-cloud
orchestration capabilities, as well as extensive global reach enabling
connectivity into any market.
In a recent survey, Right Scale
found hybrid cloud to be the preferred enterprise strategy in 2017. Of
the enterprises they surveyed who have a strategy to use multiple
clouds, the majority plan to use hybrid this year. The partnership
between Unitas Global, Equinix, and Microsoft Azure eliminates the
common challenges the enterprises face associated with designing,
deploying, and managing hybrid cloud solutions, including security,
connectivity, scale, and management of multiple cloud and infrastructure
providers, simplifying the process for the enterprise customers.
"The partnership between Unitas, Equinix, and Microsoft Azure
creates the optimal trifecta for a successful enterprise hybrid cloud
solution: global reach, multi-cloud orchestration, and end-to-end
management and provisioning," says Patrick Shutt, CEO, Unitas
Global. "Unitas works hand-in-hand with customers to design secure,
easy-to-consume hybrid cloud solutions that are fully managed and
monitored 24x7x365."
The enterprise hybrid cloud solution leverages Equinix's global footprint of 150 International Business Exchange (IBX)
data centers and interconnection capabilities to enable end users to
deploy performance-driven, mission-critical applications in any market
around the world.
"As a longtime partner of Unitas Global and one of the first
data center providers to offer direct and private interconnection to
Microsoft Azure via Microsoft ExpressRoute on Equinix Cloud Exchange,
Equinix is an ideal partner for end-to-end hybrid cloud solutions," says
Greg Adgate, vice president of global technology partners and
alliances. "Our real-time interconnection capabilities and global
footprint of best-in-class data centers spanning 21 countries and 41
business metros enable enterprise customers to accelerate their hybrid
cloud strategies on a global scale."
