Startup Ajubeo Launches IaaS Cloud Platform

Enterprise cloud services company, Ajubeo has officially launched its Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform.

The Denver-based company is backed by Grey Mountain Partners, a private equity firm with more than $400 million of assets under management.

The Ajubeo IaaS platform allows IT delivery as a service that moves departmental spend from CAPEX to OPEX (News - Alert) and offers on-demand provisioning of integrated compute, storage and network resources, according to Chuck Price, CEO and co-founder of Ajubeo.

“Ajubeo’s inspiration came from challenges we experienced first-hand while leading enterprise IT departments for some of the most regulated organizations in the world,” Price said. “Our mission is to provide today’s IT executives and architects with real, enterprise-scale security, performance and agility by starting with an in-depth assessment of their current environment and take into account their businesses vision for the future. We then work with them to configure an ideal cloud platform that is tailored to their needs using Ajubeo’s enterprise-class, secure, elastic and integrated resource pools.”

The company’s Global Cloud Mesh includes additional hubs in New York and London planned for completion in Q4 of 2012.

Ajubeo, which is marketing itself to retail, wholesale, and private label cloud infrastructure options, said its IaaS platform provides a cost-effective and efficient way to implement enterprise applications including Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange and Sharepoint as well as production ERP and SaaS applications.

In addition, the MyAjubeo cloud management portal provides customers secure, unlimited role-based cloud access via a user-friendly interface, allowing them to create and report on virtual machines, workflow automation and workload balancing with minimal training. The business and architectural agility created by Ajubeo’s flexible cloud infrastructure allows IT executives to execute on corporate objectives faster, making their businesses more competitive with an increased speed-to-market.

The Ajubeo cloud platform uses the latest technology from VMware, NetApp, Fortinet, and Brocade (News - Alert) as well as Tier 1 carriers and Internet service providers.

“Ajubeo is the next generation of IaaS, built by CIO’s for CIO’s,” said Tom Whitcomb, chief technology officer of Ajubeo. “We have the technology, security, compliance and reliability that positions Ajubeo among the industry elite, but we take it a step further. From the top down, Ajubeo is dedicated to helping our customers demonstrate more IT value than ever before, transforming the way information technology is perceived at their respective organizations. That is the power of Ajubeo’s Global Cloud Mesh.”
