Interoute, which operates a pan-European fiber network, 9 hosting data centers, 32 collocation data centers and a cloud services platform, launched CloudStore, an online marketplace aimed at accelerating ICT service delivery.
Interoute CloudStore hosts the full spectrum of core ICT infrastructure, network, computing, communication and storage services needed to build sophisticated platforms. Enterprise IT departments, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) developers, and even the largest websites can purchase Interoute’s network and infrastructure as a service through the CloudStore.
Interoute CloudStore also offers access to trusted appliance vendors, including Stonesoft and Riverbed, offering the cloud virtual equivalent of a firewall or load balancer.
Interoute VDC is built into Interoute’s pan-European MPLS/IP network.
"Interoute CloudStore is a game changer. It is the next generation of cloud computing; one that doesn’t compromise on data sovereignty, privacy concerns or performance. It essentially combines a seriously scalable integrated network, compute and storage infrastructure with all the appliances you need to run an IT environment. The difference with CloudStore is in the delivery. If you buy and run an enterprise application without the right platform and SLAs to support it, you are effectively placing the productivity and security of your business data in the wild. Appliance marketplaces perfectly complement the platform and are the future of the ICT purchasing model, but it is important for enterprises to understand what sits beneath them," stated Matthew Finnie, Interoute CTO.
