Interoute Named Best Cloud Service Provider At The UK Cloud Awards 2016
The judges recognised Interoute’s clarity of vision, approach and design of its cloud infrastructure platform.
Interoute has announced that it has been named Best Cloud Service Provider at the UK Cloud Awards, one of the leading awards in the UK cloud IT market. Interoute received this acknowledgement at the awards ceremony hosted at Skylon, London on the 12th April 2016. To claim the award Interoute was up against the other shortlisted finalists Amazon Web Services, Claranet, iCloudHosting and Microsoft.
The judges recognised Interoute’s clarity of vision, approach and design of its cloud infrastructure platform. Most service providers offer compute, storage and network connectivity to customer sites in a siloed way, whereas Interoute has from the outset taken a different approach. The company vision was to create a fully integrated cloud infrastructure platform (fully IaaS, integrating compute and storage with public and private networking) built into the fabric of one of Europe’s largest network and Data Centre infrastructures. To achieve this, Interoute virtualised the network, compute and storage, to create a single, integrated digital platform, the networked cloud.
