A white labelled cloud solution for the channel has been unveiled by two industry veterans who have joined forces to launch Cube52 following a two year period of setting up.
CTO Matthew Munson and Commercial Director Robin Ellis share 25 years experience in the data centre industry and have reinvested £3m from the sale of BlueSquare Data, the data centre-based provider of colocation services they sold in 2010.
"Resellers have to broaden the scope of their offerings for their increasingly cloud-savvy customer base," said Munson.
"The Cube52 platform enables the partner community to build and deploy its own branded applications on an infrastructure that can scale, from dedicated private cloud to fully elastic public cloud."
The proposition is based on the Microsoft Cloud OS and Cisco/Netapp Flexpod architecture.
A self-service cloud portal provides a single point of access, configuration and control 24x7 from where resellers can manage workloads, applications and solutions from a 'single pane of glass', said the firm.
"The partner community has been slow to truly embrace the cloud because of the barriers of entry," added Munson. "Key to success is ubiquitous access. Our cloud access portal has been designed around this requirement."
He also noted that Cube52's partner programme has been developed to accommodate cloud novices as well as established cloud services providers and independent software vendors.
"Whether a partner is considering adding cloud services to its business for the first time, or has been investing in cloud capability for some years, Cube52's partner programme can help further their offerings," added Munson.
