ShapeBlue, a pioneer in delivering CloudStack engineering services and support, announces a partnership with proIO, a German Private Cloud Provider empowering SMBs across various industries through its Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Managed Hosting solutions.

This collaboration marks a milestone in advancing cloud infrastructure and support for organisations in the region, implementing Apache CloudStack as their IaaS platform.

Fully managed IaaS solution

Both companies recognise the benefits of having control over cloud infrastructure and having a reliable partner delivering a fully managed IaaS solution. Embracing a managed private cloud environment ensures better cost management enhances security measures, maximises hardware investments, and ensures flexibility and compliance with regulations. 

Utilising CloudStack to orchestrate the IT environment offers companies unparalleled flexibility to tailor their infrastructure to their unique needs while leveraging existing resources effectively.

Open-source technology

Giles Sirett, CEO of ShapeBlue commented, "With the partnership with proIO we address the needs of SMBs in Germany for a powerful managed cloud. We will focus on the adoption of open-source technology, helping them to control costs and ensure reliability.

"ShapeBlue has a global footprint, with customers in 19 countries. Driven by the desire of organisations to repatriate cloud workloads and changes in the market, with proIO we aim to repeat the success that we have in other markets."
