Skyscape Cloud Services Announces Strategic Partnership With Adapt
January 2016 by Marc Jacob
Skyscape Cloud Services Limited has announced its strategic partnership with Adapt, a leading provider of IT managed services, to deliver secure, end-to-end managed Infrastructure-as-a-Service options to the UK public sector.
The partnership will mean the UK public sector can benefit from a combined portfolio of solutions which bring together Skyscape’s highly-accredited cloud platform with Adapt’s enterprise-grade infrastructure management and service expertise. The united capabilities of the two companies are now available via G-Cloud 7 and give public sector organisations secure, managed access to on-demand and scalable compute, storage and network resources that facilitate transformational projects.
As a Skyscape partner, Adapt can offer its customers pre-approved and accredited platforms suitable for all data at OFFICIAL (including OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE) and connected to government networks including the Public Services Network (PSN), the N3 health network and others. With Skyscape, Adapt can also provide a genuine on-demand service and pay-by-the-hour pricing model, enabling customers to realise savings by turning off infrastructure when not in use, such as during evenings and weekends. Skyscape’s agile platform will also enable Adapt to scale services to meet its customers’ changing needs as well as peaks and troughs in demand.
Skyscape’s public sector customers will now benefit from Adapt’s rich suite of managed services, helping them to design and build virtualised infrastructure which takes advantage of a true cloud utility service ensuring security, flexibility, availability and added value for money. Adapt’s services will complement the many solutions delivered on Skyscape’s assured cloud platform, supporting its ongoing commitment to delivering secure end-to-end managed services to UK public sector organisations.
Skyscape is committed to collaborating with partners to offer end-to-end solutions to the UK public sector. Launched in August 2013, Skyscape’s dedicated partner programme now consists of more than 200 organisations. Focused on delivering high quality yet cost-effective cloud services at scale, Skyscape’s solutions provide a building block for many of its partners’ offerings. The company has won a number of high-profile contracts via the G-Cloud Framework in conjunction with partners that, in turn, are able to embed Skyscape’s cloud platform in their own solutions.
