Faction: Cloud MSP Expansion Plans
Faction will use the investment to drive three core priorities:- Hybrid Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (HDRaaS), which provides a warm standby approach to Disaster Recovery with VMware Cloud on AWS.
- Multi-cloud storage known as Faction Cloud Control Volumes. The effort extends across Faction private cloud, public clouds, and VMware Cloud on AWS. The effort includes low latency connections to AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform
- Global Expansion of VMware Cloud on AWS: Faction is rapidly expanding its VMware Cloud on AWS availability zones throughout the U.S., EMEA and APAC, the company said.
“Throughout 2018, Faction saw an explosion of interest in customers looking for cost-effective solutions for running VMware Cloud on AWS. We have experienced impressive growth in our Hybrid Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service and Faction Cloud Control Volumes for VMware Cloud on AWS offering. The need for high-performance and scale-out storage that can expand with customers’ needs across clouds including Azure, AWS, Google Compute Engine and VMware Cloud on AWS is only going to increase. This investment will enable us to reach more customers faster with an even stronger portfolio of managed multi-cloud solutions."
“Faction’s patented technologies and services provide a powerful best-in-class solution for enterprises looking to extend their data centers or migrate workloads to cloud. VMware Cloud Foundation and Faction, powered by leading storage platforms, are directly addressing customer demand for a multi-cloud world.”
