Co-creating the Alternative Cloud
Prov.net joins a rapidly growing group of alternative cloud infrastructure and cloud platform providers powered by Virtuozzo. These companies are addressing end customer needs with services that emphasize simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. And the timing for such alternative cloud solutions is now. Hyperscale platforms are generally designed with large enterprises in mind. Their solutions and required IT management skills are growing in complexity whereas their inflexible cost models are becoming more prohibitive.
To that end, Liam Eagle, Research Director at 451 Research, a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, writes, “The natural consequence of cloud complexity left unsolved by enterprises is increasing complexity that becomes more difficult to solve over time, and likely leads to resource use and cost-spiraling.”1
“Our partnership with Prov.net will accelerate Virtuozzo’s mission to be the alternative cloud market leader,” said Alex Fine, CEO, Virtuozzo. “As we enter the alternative cloud decade, technology continues to advance. Workloads are growing but so is the complexity of the landscape and the skills gap within organizations. Businesses ever more reliant on the expertise of resellers and MSPs to advise them on the latest technologies that are best suited to their needs. It’s critical we choose trusted, proven partners like Prov.net, with deep technical competencies and a proven history of servicing Enterprise and XSP clients alike, to serve as alternative cloud providers.”

Prov.net’s ever growing portfolio of cloud software and related tools, coupled with our Alpha3 Cloud, are best-in-class cost-effective solutions.
