UK Based Cloud Provider SymetriQ partner with Canadian Provider, Enomaly to bring Government Level Security Cloud Computing to the UK with a unique ‘Green’ angle
Glasgow, UK – (March 14, 2011) - SymetriQ, the leading UK provider of Enterprise Level Cloud Computing, today announced the launch of their new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) ‘Public Cloud’. Based on the Enomaly ECP platform, it brings together 2 organisations with a commitment to the highest levels of security in Cloud Computing. SymetriQ and Enomaly are already working with Government bodies on Cloud projects on both sides of the Atlantic.
Stephen Melville, CEO of SymetriQ’s parent company, MyKey Global Holdings said “Our Group’s vision has always been to deliver ‘financial and environmental solutions, that make commercial sense and commercial solutions that make financial and environmental sense’. SymetriQ’s Cloud Computing platform delivers significant cost savings through its innovative technology-based shared services platform and a Zero Carbon Footprint reducing Carbon Tax liability for our clients”.
Since its launch in 2008, and subsequent acquisition by MyKey Global Holdings in 2010, SymetriQ has broadened its portfolio of cloud solutions, adding Private Cloud, Consultancy, Managed Services and Software Development offerings. Based on the breadth of its offerings and rapid customer adoption, SymetriQ has expanded rapidly into both Public and Private sectors in EMEA which has led to this exciting new partnership.
Phil Huber, Co-Founder of SymetriQ said “After evaluating the market for a partner for the next stage of our ‘Public Cloud’ platform, it became very clear Enomaly was the best fit for us. Not only in terms of performance, functionality and scalability, but perhaps most importantly was their commitment to security in the Cloud. We share a desire to ensure that organisations which move to the Cloud have levels of security which are greater than they would have in-house”.
Martin Low, Group Business Systems Manager at South Lanarkshire Council stated “South Lanarkshire Council were looking for a solution which would reduce up-front cost and complexity on software and infrastructure for a key project, but at the same time would allow us to grow our resource usage as the business requirements increased. It became clear that a ‘Cloud’ solution would help with fulfilling these criteria. SymetriQ’s Public Cloud platform gave us these benefits, along with the levels of security that we require”
“We’re thrilled to work with SymetriQ to offer UK Government-focussed cloud solutions,” said Dr. Richard Reiner, CEO of Enomaly. “Starting with the USA, Governments around the globe are recognising the strength of the Enomaly ECP platform to deliver the requirements of the most demanding Government users for mature, massively scalable, highly reliable cloud services..
“The Enomaly ECP IaaS platform helped ARC address many of the rigorous demands of the recent US Federal government, GSA Cloud Computing Contract. ARC was selected as one of a few, exclusive contract awardees, having successfully differentiated its offering based on a higher level of security and flexibility, made possible by Enomaly ECP ” said John Keese, President of Autonomic Resources.
