Centerprise releases its CiCloud platform

Centerprise has cut the ribbon on its CiCloud platform, which has been built leaning on technology from HPE and CloudSigma.

For those not in the know, CiCloud is based on HPE GreenLake technology combined with infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) specialist CloudSigma’s expertise to offer hybrid, private or public cloud options to customers. Ark Data Centres are being used to physically house the information.

The idea is that workloads can be moved to the platform without too much hassle, as well as the promise of the option to scale up or down quickly and the option of a pay-as-you-use model.

Timing is important as customers shift towards the cloud, with many having accepted that it is a way to consumer technology and services.
