Me having experience dealing with cloud based tech and consulting and integration services, I realize the need for a secure and consistant cloud service. Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

PlusOne Launches Its Cloud-Based Services Offerings From Its Chicago Datacenter
PeakColo Provides PlusOne Customers with Enterprise Cloud Computing Services

CHICAGO, Dec. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PlusOne, a data center solutions provider announced today it will be offering customers an enterprise-class suite of Cloud-based services from its facility in Chicago, IL. PlusOne's Cloud offering, built upon industry leading VMware vCloud Powered® solutions from PeakColo, provide a complement to its colocation services and fill out the suite of sophisticated services for its customers.

Kevin Francis, PlusOne's Director of Real Estate, said "PlusOne will differentiate itself by delivering its own branded, enterprise-class Cloud-based services to our customers. In addition to these Cloud-based services, our operating model will continue to deliver best-in-class infrastructure solutions comparable to nationally recognized competitors, but at a more attractive value to customers."

With the emergence of cloud computing, a growing number of PlusOne customers were asking for a robust cloud services offering running on an enterprise-class Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).  PlusOne's core competencies, however, revolve around highly reliable physical infrastructure and colocation services, not cloud technology. Therefore, PlusOne decided to find a partner that could provide a white-label IaaS solution.

PlusOne selected the WhiteCloud Services® from PeakColo.  PeakColo, based in Denver, CO, is a leading provider of white-label Cloud-based services. Its WhiteCloud Services are built upon VMware and NetApp foundational technologies. As a testament to its design, development, support and validated world-wide usage of its WhiteCloud Services, PeakColo's offerings have achieved the designation of VMware vCloud Powered®.

"We are delighted to enter into this relationship with PlusOne for their white-label usage of our WhiteCloud Services", states Luke Norris, CEO and founder of PeakColo. "In partnering with PeakColo, PlusOne is able to immediately offer its customers efficient and reliable Cloud-based services with enterprise-class features and performance".

PlusOne data centers are engineered to meet and exceed the demanding uptime, security and scalability criteria of today's enterprise.
