Logicalis, an international IT solutions and managed services
provider, has acquired a 51% stake in
NubeliU, a company specializing in
cloud computing projects based on OpenStack. The acquisition is part of
Logicalis' strategy to position itself as a cloud integrator, and
strengthens its commitment with the opensource community, in particular
with OpenStack, which is essential for large SDx and cloud computing
projects.
NubeliU was founded in January 2015 by the team that
deployed the first production clouds in OpenStack. As a services
company, NubeliU integrates OpenStack environments with customers'
existing platforms across multiple vendor product lines. From its
operations in Argentina and Brazil, it can remotely deliver its service
offerings around the globe, and this acquisition forms the basis for
establishing a Logicalis Global OpenStack practice.
Mark Rogers, CEO Logicalis comments, "We are convinced that OpenStack
will be one of the foundations for the ICT future infrastructure. It is
a platform that allows management and orchestration of hybrid
environments in public and private clouds, ensuring a safe and
transparent operation for corporate clients. This acquisition brings us
the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to position Logicalis as the
best placed organization, to deliver cloud projects to our customers".
NubeliU's
expertise in OpenStack will accelerate the global expansion of
Logicalis' cloud computing and SDx practices, strengthening its position
as a cloud integrator and ensuring its ability to meet its customers'
requirements on their journey to digital transformation.
