BSO Partners with Amazon for Cloud Services
BSO will deliver direct private connectivity to the AWS cloud through its global datacenters and co-location environments.
Network cloud and hosting specialist BSO has announced the launch of its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
BSO will deliver direct private connectivity to AWS cloud from datacenters, offices and co-location environments through AWS Direct Connect Service (DCS).
“We have a similar access point into GCP [Google Cloud Platform] and Azure as well because each client makes a decision where they decide to put their infrastructure, and we need to be agnostic in order to serve them,” says Michael Ourabah, CEO at BSO. “What we do is that we ensure that the clients that have decided to put their infrastructures in one of three major public cloud players infrastructure, we can basically connect them back into the regular financial data centres of the world where they can interconnect with the rest of the ecosystem that is what we have been enabling through that.”
The introduction of the AWS DCS hybrid cloud comes on the heels of a survey this month from cloud specialist Nutanix, which found that 91 percent of respondents considered cloud to be the ideal model, but only 19 percent have that model today.
“What is holding them back is the complexity of all the technical and new technologies that are linked to that and the sluggishness of most of the very big financial firms to encompass new technologies with ever-changing regulations from the government and altogether it is putting them at risk,” says Ourabah. “They would rather trial on small applications, and once they feel they are ready and comfortable, then they move onto the more industrial approach to it.”
BSO was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. Its network covers 45 countries with 125 datacenter locations. It has just under 100 staff worldwide with a presence in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America.
