Equinix, a provider of global data center services, and RightScale, a provider of cloud computing management, announced a strategic global partnership to deliver a complete cloud solution to the corporate IT and service provider markets.
With this partnership, the RightScale Cloud Management Platform will provide Platform Equinix customers with a comprehensive management offering for all cloud infrastructure ― including public, private and multi-cloud/hybrid clouds — managed and controlled through a single cloud service.
As the result of this partnership, corporate IT organizations will be able to leverage RightScale and Platform Equinix to seamlessly manage workloads among private clouds and various public cloud providers. This allows global enterprises to access an unprecedented choice of cloud services in real-time through the RightScale management platform, ensuring high availability, business continuity and disaster recovery without compromising data security, compliance or risk mitigation.
Now IT teams can leverage the combination of their own corporate private cloud with a direct high-speed connection to public clouds already in an Equinix facility managed through a single dashboard with RightScale. This new cloud package provides customers with true workload deployment freedom by connecting their private cloud infrastructure directly to joint Equinix and RightScale public cloud partners such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, Logicworks, SoftLayer and Datapipe.
In addition, service providers who have invested in deploying assets in Platform Equinix to establish their cloud offerings will have the opportunity to partner with RightScale to enhance their services and participate in building out a network of clouds enabled by Platform Equinix. Service providers can offer their customers a state-of-the-art management platform that will allow them to deploy workloads on demand to various clouds based on their requirements, ensuring optimal end-user performance, minimizing delivery costs and accelerating time-to-market for new services.
Customers will access RightScale cloud management using RightScale myCloud, which provides a “single pane of glass” for enterprises to provision and manage servers in private clouds and multiple public clouds.
Customers will also benefit from the RightScale MultiCloud Marketplace which includes a library of pre-built cloud ServerTemplates, scripts and architectures published by RightScale, ISV and SI partners. All of the pre-built configurations are fully customizable and provide a variety of solutions ranging from standard application stacks to middleware components to database solutions.
The Equinix partner program assembles Platform Equinix services with industry leading technology solutions into solution bundles that help simplify and accelerate complex global solution deployments.
