The partnership gives CentriLogic customers secure, high-performing connectivity to global IaaS and SaaS cloud providers

consoleTORONTO, February 23, 2016CentriLogic, a global provider of managed hosting, cloud, co-location, and advanced IT outsourcing solutions, announces today that the company has joined the Console Partner Program to provide customers with access to Console, the enterprise software and interconnection platform that is changing the way businesses directly connect to their customers, vendors and partners. The partnership positions CentriLogic as the first Canadian end-to-end IT infrastructure solutions provider offering the Console platform to its global customer base, privately connecting all client locations to its data centers through to the cloud.

The Console Partner Program enables CentriLogic to offer customers direct access to Console for CentriLogicnetwork-to-network and enterprise-to-enterprise collaboration globally, all while bypassing the public Internet. Console’s network automation technology, combined with direct access from CentriLogic’s data centers, provides customers with secure connectivity to a global ecosystem of cloud service providers such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Box and Zendesk without the configuration complexity. CentriLogic will provide customers direct access to Console with speeds ranging from 10Mbps to 100Gbps.

As enterprises continue to adopt multiple cloud services, IT decision-makers are looking to increase security, improve user experiences and reduce complexity. With Console, customers can now leverage CentriLogic’s private hosting and network services to directly connect to cloud infrastructure and applications that reside outside of the data center. By bypassing the public Internet, Console helps relieve the security and performance issues often associated with public cloud services adoption. CentriLogic customers will benefit from private, high-performance and consistent access to a global ecosystem of enterprises and business-critical cloud infrastructure and SaaS providers without the need to set up multiple direct connects.

“Successful adoption of cloud-based technologies and applications within the enterprise depends heavily on access to secure and reliable network connectivity,” says Monica Rok, VP, Strategic Initiatives at CentriLogic. “Partnering with Console allows us to extend greater flexibility and convenience to our enterprise customers as they continue to leverage traditional managed hosting, network and cloud solutions as part of their IT outsourcing strategies.”

Direct access to Console’s software and interconnection platform will be available to all CentriLogic customers leveraging CentriLogic’s network services, or within their global data centers located throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

“We’re delighted to welcome CentriLogic to the Console Partner Program,” says Al Burgio, CEO of Console Inc. “With this collaboration, we will provide CentriLogic’s customers with a secure, simple and faster way to bypass the public Internet and directly connect to business-critical cloud providers, SaaS providers and partners.”
