Atos is named NEXTDC's Partner of the Year in Australia

Atos has bagged the top award of Partner of the Year in Australia from 250 other partner organisations at NEXTDC’s 2015 Partner Award ceremony in Sydney, held in December 2015. The win marks a milestone for Atos as it reinforces its position as one of the leading cloud service providers via Canopy in Australia and the rest of the Asia Pacific region (APAC), the company said. Canopy is the global offering for all of Atos cloud services.

NEXTDC is an independent data centre operator in Australia while Canopy comprises enterprise-grade architecture supported by a global network of technical experts and end-to-end service offerings. In Australia the Canopy cloud platform is physically located in Perth, Western Australia, and services are rendered through NEXTDC’s P1 data centre, which is Uptime Institute Tier III-certified. Through NEXTDC’s nationwide data centre network, Canopy aims to extend its coverage across Australia and to the rest of Asia Pacific.

“This achievement is acknowledgement of Atos’ dedication to providing superior services in the cloud and co-location marketplace, as well as of our shared success – well done,” said Craig Scroggie, NEXTDC CEO.

“Atos is greatly pleased to be on this journey with NEXTDC to bring Canopy – the Atos Cloud – to Australia. The Canopy solution is an enterprise-grade infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) with high availability and the platform has high demand on data centre infrastructure. NEXTDC’s facilities are definitely some of the top tier III data centres with such capability and we look forward to a long and successful partnership,” said Peter Robertson, Managing Director at Atos in Australia.
