TierPoint

TierPoint, a leading provider of secure, connected IT platform solutions that power digital transformation initiatives, announced its newest service, a Hybrid Private Cloud built on Microsoft Azure Stack, with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and Azure Arc, offered exclusively on the Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Microsoft Azure.

The new private cloud solution enables Microsoft Azure services and capabilities in all of TierPoint’s 40 secure, enterprise-grade data centers nationwide. Offering both infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS), Azure Stack shares its code, application programming interfaces (APIs), and management portal with Microsoft Azure, enabling seamless connectivity to Azure for backup, disaster recovery, and cloud-based monitoring.

Coupled with TierPoint’s extensive experience with private, public, and hybrid cloud deployments, the new solution is ideal for companies seeking private cloud alternatives that enable high-performance databases, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and disaster recovery, while fulfilling production, business continuity, security, and regulatory compliance objectives.
