The company has said that more than 500 customers are now using its VERSA platform.

“Customers like BECA, Terabyte and RedVespa — to name just a few — use the ICONZ VERSA platform for its massive scalability, flexibility and cost effectiveness,” said Sean McDonald, CEO of ICONZ. “While other providers rush to catch the cloud computing hype train, ICONZ has been there for years, consolidating, investing and continuing to innovate with its customers.” 

ICONZ is now launching two new VERSA services, which have been six months in the planning and testing.

VERSA Enterprise is hailed as the next generation of cloud computing from ICONZ. Companies can now specify their own standalone and segmented ‘private clouds’ on customised blade server hardware and dedicated SAN, all within the high-availability VERSA environment. 

VERSA Project was born from an internal ICONZ project requiring huge computing capacity for short periods only. “As in many IT projects, we had a need for a number of test and development servers over many months and didn’t want to incur the capital cost of buying hardware for only a short period of use,” said McDonald.

ICONZ has also launched a new channel initiative said to benefit resellers, integrators, developers and SaaS providers.
