Access Northeast's Parthenon Cloud™ powers startup's critical IT infrastructure, lowering CapEx costs and increasing network resiliency
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 5, 2011 — Access Northeast, one of the largest privately held data center and managed service providers in New England, announced today that Micronotes has chosen the Parthenon Cloud™ platform to power their business. Micronotes, a Cambridge, MA-based digital marketing firm servicing the financial sector, will leverage the power of Access Northeast's Parthenon Cloud™ to deliver critical IT services, including the support of production, testing, and development environments for their KulaX technology architecture.
"Access Northeast was able to craft a unique Cloud solution that wasn't readily available from most of their competitors. Their hybrid design allowed us to take advantage of the technical, operational and financial benefits of their Parthenon Cloud, while still allowing Micronotes to maintain our own physical environment in one of their premium data centers," said Venkat Rangamani, CTO of Micronotes. "As an emerging company and new startup, the financial and operational benefit of having access to computing power on demand was critical for us to keep focusing upon our rapidly growing digital marketing business."
Micronotes sought a hybrid Cloud platform capable of connecting their existing physical infrastructure directly to a service provider's Cloud. Access Northeast was able to produce a solution for Micronotes by providing physical colocation directly connected via local Ethernet to a Parthenon Cloud™ virtual node, within the same state-of-the-art data center facility.
"The Parthenon Cloud™ is the perfect platform for startup companies, especially those working with dynamic applications requiring strong testing and development architecture," said Access Northeast CEO Rob Stephenson. "Micronotes can now service banking customers more efficiently by outsourcing their infrastructure directly to Access Northeast. With our custom solution, they get the best of both worlds by combining a physical environment with the high performance, cost effective features of the Parthenon Cloud™ — all under a single roof."
