This collaboration marks a new milestone in advancing cloud infrastructure solutions and support for organizations in the region, implementing Apache CloudStack as their IaaS platform.
Both companies recognize the benefits of having control over your cloud infrastructure and having a reliable partner deliver a fully managed IaaS solution. Embracing a managed private cloud environment ensures better cost management over the long term, enhances security measures, maximizes hardware investments, and ensures flexibility and compliance with regulatory standards. Utilizing Apache CloudStack to orchestrate the IT environment offers companies unparalleled flexibility to tailor their infrastructure to suit their unique needs while leveraging existing resources effectively.
Giles Sirett, CEO of ShapeBlue, commented: “With the partnership with proIO, we will address the needs of SMBs in Germany for a flexible and powerful managed cloud infrastructure. We will focus on the adoption of open-source technology, helping them to control costs and ensure reliability in the long run.

proIO and ShapeBlue recognize the need for companies to use managed private cloud solutions from a reliable partner, with proven expertise in building and managing IaaS with Apache CloudStack. They join forces to help companies in Germany harness the potential of open-source technology backed up by reliable support.
