OnApp Enterprise Cloud Appliances Available Through Hammer Reseller Network

Hammer plc, a distributor of value-add server, storage and networking products, announced a partnership with OnApp Ltd to bring OnApp Enterprise cloud appliances to businesses across Europe.

OnApp software powers public cloud services for more than 3,500 telcos, MSPs and hosting companies worldwide and a new version of OnApp, OnApp Enterprise, is bringing the same public cloud efficiency, scalability and ease of use to the enterprise datacentre. Under the partnership, OnApp Enterprise cloud solutions will become available to Hammer resellers throughout Europe via its offices in France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, the UK and Nordic countries.

OnApp Enterprise has what a business needs to create a secure, self-service private cloud within the corporate datacentre. Delivered as a ready-to-run appliance using Intel Data Center Blocks hardware, it includes a virtualisation software stack, software-defined storage, and a set of private cloud automation and management tools. With a fixed cost pricing model, and turnkey deployment in less than a day, OnApp brings public cloud agility to SMBs and enterprise IT departments, without the complexity or expense of other solutions.

“There is strong demand for private and hybrid cloud platforms in the EMEA market, but customers don’t want to hire staff and spend months building a solution,” said Tom Cox, GM, Whitebox servers, Hammer. “Through our partnership with OnApp we’re driving change in IT price, performance and ease of use for businesses across Europe – offering enterprises the simplest, most cost-effective way to bring the benefits of cloud to their own datacentres, through their local Hammer cloud specialist.“

“Hammer has extensive experience in software-defined storage, virtualisation and cloud solutions, and a fantastic network of local specialists across Europe,” said Alistair Wildman, CRO, OnApp. “Now any business can take advantage of more flexible, agile IT using OnApp Enterprise to create their own private clouds – with turnkey, fully-supported solutions available from their local Hammer partner.“
