Cloud experts Outsourcery in new alliance with Microsoft

Manchester-based cloud computing specialist firm Outsourcery has joined a Microsoft network which will help to further improve its services.

The Microsoft Cloud OS Network is a highly selective worldwide consortium of 25 cloud service providers committed to building services on the Microsoft Cloud Platform.

Outsourcery says the move shows its long-term commitment to the Microsoft Cloud Platform and its own strength in the UK market.

The firm chose to join the network because of the significant advantages the Cloud OS Network provides in handling local market requirements, technical and performance improvements to services and cost savings – with the ability to pass these benefits on to Outsourcery’s partners and customers to gain significant service differentiation.

Outsourcery has a long-standing relationship with Microsoft, offering a broad range of cloud-based solutions to businesses and governments.

Last month, Outsourcery announced its agreement to be a leading National Cloud partner for Microsoft, leading its UK initiative to accelerate the offering of IL3 compliant cloud services for the UK public sector.

Piers Linney, Co-CEO of Outsourcery said: “Being selected as one of the collaborators for this network is a great honour and a brilliant testament to the cloud and hybrid solutions we bring to the market.

“We have been offering cloud-based Microsoft solutions to organisations for many years now and as a world-leading pure-play CSP, we pride ourselves in our ability to further innovate our cloud services, whilst assisting businesses with integration and migration support. Being selected to join Microsoft’s Cloud OS Network is an indication that we are heading in the right direction.”

Maurice Martin, Server and Cloud Lead Microsoft Ltd said: “Commercial and government organisations will benefit from the trusted technology of Microsoft Cloud Platform, and we are pleased to see Outsourcery’s O-Cloud platform delivering business applications built on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and System Center 2012 R2.

“Outsourcery has shown a deep commitment to Microsoft-based solutions, and customers can now benefit from its flexible cloud solutions to suit specific needs”.
