OpSource Blends Managed Services With Cloud Computing

OpSource Inc. specialize in enterprise cloud and manged hosting. Now, they’re expanding their efforts. Available now, OpSource is providing a suite of managed services in the cloud to help bring down barriers to ‘public’ cloud adoption. It’s designed to make your business easier, faster, cheaper, all while minimizing the risk of cloud transition. Sounds great. But does OpSource deliver on all those claims?

OpSource’s offering works like this. OpSource provides the backbone with their “Manged Services for the Cloud” and the package includes a “complete suite” of applications and system management services to help a business efficiently migrate and manage their mission-critical applications and services into a ‘public’ cloud.

OpSource claims that their services can help an organization enjoy the benefits of the public cloud, while not having to deal with all the security and control issues that have normally hampered cloud adoption. OpSource’s release doesn’t dive into specifics about apps or security, but their site is replete with details.

OpSource says a customer has two choices when making the cloud move:

Technical details may be vague, but OpSource’s pricing is not. Scaling by computer usage, the “Managed Services for the Cloud” package prices between $.05 and $.60 per CPU-hour, which is also based on volume and term commitments. It’s a pay-as-you-go system, which OpSource hopes will enable smaller organizations to get enterprise-quality computing capability when they need it, and pay for only what they need.
