PLEASANT, S.C. – April 20, 2016 – Bluetowne, a leading provider of innovative information technology solutions, today announced its entry into the VMware vCloud® Air™ Network, with BlueCloud, a VMware IaaS Powered service. This designation illustrates to customers that the company’s public cloud service is validated using and compatible for use with VMware vSphere®, the leading virtualization platform for building cloud infrastructures.

A member of the VMware vCloud Air Network, Bluetowne provides its VMware IaaS Powered service using proven VMware technology that organizations already use in their existing data centers. VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers offer global cloud services in more than 100 countries.

“We chose to partner with VMware years ago, and this was the natural progression of services,” said Eric Hartley, President, Bluetowne. “We are committed to providing our customers with design flexibility and cutting-edge technology that meets their specific needs for managed hosting. Achieving VMware IaaS Powered status has allowed us to deliver a custom infrastructure to our customers with a dedicated cloud service that provides additional headroom for on-demand scalability.”
