One Thousand Users To Go Live on Enspire's GoDesktop Cloud Service

Sydney, March 24, 2011 - Enspire Australia, an integrator, ISP and cloud computing specialist, has become Australia's latest Cloud Service Provider to offer software-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service using the Vblock™ infrastructure platform that includes solutions from EMC, Cisco and VMware.

Five year business strategy focusing on scalability

Enspire chose Vblock to support a five year business strategy focusing on scalability, agility, service excellence, high availability and reduced cost. Importantly, Vblock resonated with Enspire's focus on delivering the most environmentally-friendly platform incorporating extensive virtualisation.

"The fact that we undertook such a progressive project while a globally uncertain economic period demonstrates the market possibility we anticipate and the benefits to clients of Vblock innovation," said Geoffrey Nicholas, CEO at Enspire. "The Logicalis project team made an ambitious project painless, through its in-depth product knowledge and adherence to process. Truly, we acquired significant knowledge to bring into our own client service delivery."

"This is but another example of leadership shown from a pioneering Australian organisation," says EMC VCE Business Manager Darren McCullum. "Vblock is a best in class combination of market leaders and I am sure Enspire will exceed its aggressive growth targets on the back of the implementation and a market hungry for research and agility."

Pioneer of cloud computing since August 2006

A pioneer of cloud computing since August 2006, Enspire undertook a strategic re-engineering process in 2009 which involved a bold evaluation of the company's future and the Vblock innovation.

"Vblock represents the straightway generation of computing so it's exciting for our team to be involved in such a sophisticated project housed in Australia," said Oliver Descoeudres, Marketing Director at Logicalis. "We delivered a project that in effect does reach the holy grail of business outcomes supported by technology technology."

"As Enspire's top priority is to continue to offer state-of-the-art IT resources to its clients at affordable prices, we're pleased the company selected Vblock to host its GoDesktop cloud services. With the virtualised environment Vblock provides, Enspire can bring new service offerings to market faster, give clients more choice and grow the business," said Sara Adams director of the Partner Business Group, Cisco Australia and New Zealand.
