OpSource
, Inc., a provider of outsourced IT infrastructure services, yesterday announced its Validated Cloud Solutions Program, naming an initial set of 14 partners that are leveraging its platform to deliver enterprise-class cloud-based services. The company claims that with this certification, enterprise customers are assured that a company-validated solution has been tested on the OpSource Cloud. Validated partners gain access to a secure cloud platform and expand their market reach.

It avers that to become company-validated, potential partners apply online to provide key information about the solution, focusing on the specific value the offering brings to the OpSource Partner Ecosystem. Once the submission has been accepted, partners work with the company to test their application or platform. The initial Validated Cloud Solutions partners participating in the program include:

ANX - secure cloud access
aPersona - anonymous 2nd factor login confirmation
AppDynamics - application performance management
AppFirst - application problem resolution
Aryaka - WAN optimization and application acceleration

The company articulates that the OpSource Partner Ecosystem is designed to enable integrators, ISVs, developers, development platform vendors and service providers to deliver integrated solutions for their joint customers. Designed to offer the flexibility that eases the burden of integrations for these different types of vendors, enabling them to speed time to market and lower the total cost of implementation and ownership for their customers. Offering more than traditional cloud and hosting services, the company provides the integration, engineering, marketing and sales support required to launch and scale cloud-based solutions.

"The Validated Cloud Solutions Program provides our cloud partners with a solid proof point that the application or platform they are taking to their customers is truly enterprise-class," said Jon Beck, SVP of Worldwide Channels and Alliances for OpSource. "This validation enables our partners to integrate their solutions with other products and services from the OpSource Partner Ecosystem, providing our partners with new market opportunities while enabling our enterprise customers to experience the cost benefits of having a complete solution from the onset."

"The OpSource Cloud gives us Infrastructure on demand and offers the scalability and location diversity we need to perform web load testing to meet customer needs," said Steve Tack, Chief Technology Officer for Compuware's APM business unit. "Not having to worry about the capacity of our cloud platform enables us to focus solely on providing our customers with reliable performance solutions to deploy new web and mobile initiatives with confidence."
