Posted on www.6fusion.com 4/16. [CED Member] 6fusion announces strategic partnership to drive open IT infrastructure marketplace adoption across Asia Pacific region
Singapore and Raleigh, NC – April 16, 2013 – 6fusion,
the company standardizing economic measurement of IT infrastructure and
enabling a global marketplace for buyers and sellers, and CloudFX,
Asia’s most innovative technology advisory firm, today announced an
agreement to enable, deliver, and support 6fusion’s open IT
infrastructure services and marketplace in the Asia Pacific market.
Tweet this: @6fusion partners with @CloudFX to extend delivery of IT metering and analytics to the APJ region.
CloudFX will serve as an extension of 6fusion’s services team in Asia
Pacific, providing technical delivery and advisory, sales, on-boarding,
and support services across 6fusion’s entire portfolio of products and
services.
6fusion’s patent-pending metering algorithm, the Workload Allocation Cube (WAC),
is the industry’s first commercial standard metric to quantify supply
and demand for compute resources across heterogeneous physical, virtual
and cloud environments. IT infrastructure metering, reporting and
management capabilities are accessed via 6fusion’s online marketplace at
https://console.6fusion.com, where customers and suppliers can also buy and sell contracts for on-demand IT infrastructure.
“6fusion’s vision is to enable an open marketplace for buyers and
sellers of on-demand IT infrastructure and this vision is global,” said
6fusion CEO John Cowan. “CloudFX shares this vision for the future of IT
delivery and they will serve as a very important partner in the
enablement and delivery of services in Asia Pacific.”
“6fusion offers a truly unique technology system to not just
establish how customers can measure and compare the cost of IT service
delivery in a physical, private or public cloud setting, but how
customers can take action by engaging an open public marketplace,” said
Damian Crotty, CEO and President, CloudFX. “We see how 6fusion’s
technology will change the game in our industry and we look forward to
helping both customers and partners achieve great results in the Asia
Pacific market.”
Cloud services in Asia Pacific are growing rapidly, particularly
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings, including server, storage,
and infrastructure management solutions. According to IDC[1],
IaaS in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) is expected to be a $6.2 billion
market in 2013, growing to a $13.5 billion market in 2016, over 21%
compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
CloudFX is headquartered in Singapore with customers across the
entire Asia Pacific region. CloudFX has formed strategic partnerships
with all of the tier one technology vendors across Asia Pacific, and has
grown rapidly across ASEAN and into Australia and Japan, with customers
in the Fortune 500, as well as some of Asia’s most successful brands.
