OrionVM Shortlisted for Best Cloud Infrastructure in 2014-15 Cloud Awards
OrionVMĀ® (http://www.orionvm.com), a leading provider of wholesale Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and next-gen cloud technology, has been shortlisted in the 2014-2015 Cloud Awards Program in the category Best Cloud Infrastructure.
With awards for excellence and innovation in cloud computing, the cloud computing awards program accepts entries from across the entire globe, including the US, Canada, Australasia and EMEA. Now in its fourth year, entries are accepted from organizations of any size and include start-ups and government bodies.
Sheng Yeo OrionVM Co-Founder and CEO said: āWe are seeing increased demand for wholesale cloud as more service providers discover the game-changing performance, cost-savings, and flexibility our platform delivers. To be shortlisted for Best Cloud Infrastructure by the Cloud Awards program is an honor and further validation of the technical innovation and business value that we bring to market.ā
Combining supercomputer architectures with extreme design efficiency, OrionVM dramatically reduces (by 50% or more) the overall data center footprint (power/hardware) required to produce premium cloud services.Ā OrionVMās breakthrough Cloud 2.0 technology provides a complete end-to-end enterprise-grade cloud offering āout-of-the-boxā, allowing unprecedented speed-to-market compared to traditional technologies.
Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson said: āThe standard of entries to this yearās program has been truly staggering ā so much so that even after culling hundreds of organizations from our consideration, our shortlist is still longer than ever before.
āWeāve been very impressed with how the Cloud ecosystem has evolved by the end of 2014 and these best-of-breed organizations are knocking it out of the park in terms of performance. These technologies arenāt going away: leverage them now or ignore them at your peril.
āAs ever, the US organizations have dominated the submissions process, but weāre seeing more and more applicants from farther afield ā Europe, the UK, Australia, Asia ā weāre running the biggest and best celebration of excellence in the Cloud and the whole world wants to join the party.
āWhen the dust has settled on what promises to be the most diverse and dynamic field of candidates yet, nobody knows what the 2015-16 Cloud Awards program will bring next year aside from continued excellence.ā
Over 300 organizations entered, with entries coming from across the globe, covering the Americas, Australia, Europe and the Middle East.
Final winners will be announced on Tuesday 27 January 2015. This will not be the end of the process, with a public vote announced on this date to decide who will win the Cloud Computing Organization of the Year Award.
The Cloud Awards (http://www.cloud-awards.com/) will return in 2015-16 for a fresh awards program seeking excellence in cloud computing.
