Terremark Teams up with EMC for New Cloud Portfolio

Terremark is a service provider that helps enterprises deploy new infrastructure, and keep it running. It would seem, however, that the Verizon subsidiary has plans to expand beyond its core market to the cloud service spaces, and it will leverage EMC hardware to achieve that goal.

Today Terremark announced that it has reached Platinum status in the EMC Velocity partner program, and more importantly, that it will be a few very big orders sometime soon. The details are sparse at the moment, but what we do know is that the company will use technology from the storage giant to support its Enterprise Cloud Private Edition offering. Public and hybrid deployments will also be offered according to a release that went out this week.

Terremark already has the global reach it needs to kick off this sort of initiative, and to get actual clients aboard. It’s also not the first IT reseller that made the decision to step things up a notch and figure out a way to offer more value to organizations, and even other partners, in a time when competition is greater than ever.

“EMC, Verizon and Terremark have been working in the market for nearly a decade. Today, we’re extending our well-established, highly successful alliance and taking our strategic partnership to the next level to help customers more rapidly realize the true benefits of cloud computing. This announcement symbolizes the dramatic customer value that can be derived through joint collaboration and will help customers transform their business operations and ultimately deliver IT as a service.”

The cloud has become a big focus for EMC, and not just the storage angle. Not too long ago the vendor acquired Syncplicity for an undisclosed amount, a provider of remote collaboration services for enterprise users.
