London, UK (PRWEB UK) 12 August 2014 -- Hybrid cloud management platform provider Abiquo today announced a partnership with CloudSigma, a public cloud IaaS provider with advanced hybrid hosting solutions, to add CloudSigma services to its multi-cloud management platform, Abiquo anyCloud. With anyCloud, public cloud users can now manage their CloudSigma deployments, as well as other next generation cloud platforms, all from one portal.

CloudSigma offers highly-available, flexible, enterprise-class cloud servers and cloud hosting solutions in Europe and the U.S. By offering its 1,000+ customers full control over their cloud deployment and unbundled resource provisioning, CloudSigma is well-suited to meet the complex compute requirements of companies in the financial services, media and research science industries.

The Abiquo and CloudSigma partnership will allow anyCloud users to create and manage CloudSigma services as part of their hybrid cloud, while obtaining a full audit trail of activities across all of their public cloud accounts. Additionally, enhanced compliance measures will be available to users in the form of workflow approvals, where primary account users will receive an email to approve or reject any new VM creation or deletion performed by a team member.

“We’ve always promoted greater flexibility and accessibility in the cloud, so we are pleased with the cross-cloud functionality this integration provides our users and other cloud customers looking to use CloudSigma,” said Robert Jenkins, CEO, CloudSigma. “The technology behind the Abiquo anyCloud and CloudSigma integration allows for an interoperable solution that will be especially useful for our global customers tasked with managing numerous cloud environments, in the safest way possible.”

Multi-layered security is another key feature that Abiquo anyCloud provides CloudSigma users. Through the creation of member accounts, users are able to add team members by inviting their wider team to share their Abiquo anyCloud account. The same cloud provider accounts can then be used without the team members having visibility of the provider security credentials.

“CloudSigma is known for being one of the most user-centric providers on the market, especially for companies in need of high-performing compute at a low cost,” said Gilles Samoun, CEO, Abiquo. “Yet, many companies are still locked into another provider. With CloudSigma now part of the anyCloud platform, companies can leverage CloudSigma alongside their other deployments, all from one place. And, with flexibility at CloudSigma’s core, we expect this integration to generate a lot of traction for anyCloud, while furthering cloud adoption overall.”
