CloudCentral, an award-winning provider of secure Australian cloud computing solutions announces today the expansion of its Partner Program with new signings from Managed Service providers, Systems Integrators, Telecommunications Providers and Independent Software Vendors.
New Program entrants including Infinite Networks, OOKI, Simple ID and Standard Computers will benefit from tailored, branded and customised enterprise-grade cloud platforms which allow them to enter and extend their activity in the cloud space.
For Founder and CEO of CloudCentral, Kristoffer Sheather the recently launched Partner Program has proved highly successful. “The response from the market has re-confirmed that wholesale Australian-based cloud provision is what is in demand. We are working with our partners to meet the demands of considerable business opportunities within the cloud marketplace.”
Sheather continued: “This is the year we are experiencing rapid expansion from the early adopter stage to customers now moving specific workloads to the cloud and leveraging the cloud model for backup and disaster recovery.”
From CloudCentral’s perspective the success of the Partner Program to date is linked to its continued investment and innovation to exceed current market offerings: “We are continuing to invest and innovate our range to remain one step ahead of market demands,” Sheather concluded.
CloudCentral has announced its intention to list on the Australian Stock Exchange via a reverse takeover of Dromana Estate Limited (DMY) (Dromana) in June. This will enable CloudCentral to raise capital to continue to invest in enhancing its unique Cloud System and expand its sales and marketing presence to complement its multiple data centres across Australia.
