eLINIA and VMware have had a close technology and commercial relationship for some years. As the high point of this relationship, eLINIA’s cloud service has now achieved VMware vCloud® Powered status, illustrating to our customers that eLINIA’s cloud services are underpinned by VMware’s leading virtualization and cloud computing technology, namely VMware vSphere® and VMware vCloud Director.
As an Enterprise Service Partner and Premier Hosting Partner, eLINIA provides its VMware vCloud Powered service as a set of cloud computing services across a common platform, supporting the largest set of existing applications and offering distinctive application mobility uniquely available from VMware.
“The VMware vCloud® Powered programme was developed to enable our service provider partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their enterprise-class cloud services to market in this competitive landscape,“ said Gavin Jackson, Director, vCloud & Service Providers, EMEA, VMware. “We look forward to supporting eLINIA further as it delivers on the agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing landscape.”
Our customers now have the ability to move workloads from their VMware vSphere-based virtualized or private cloud environment to the VMware vCloud Powered service and back again. This application portability is a key differentiator allowing customers to achieve the flexibility and security they need while enabling increased IT agility.
eLINIA sought VMware vCloud® Powered validation in order to increase our service capability to our customers and prospective customers. As a validated provider, we can now provide users with enhanced responsiveness and agility, and reduced IT costs through increased consolidation, task automation and simplified management.
