This document discusses a strategic partnership between APSU and Interoute to provide managed virtual data centre (vDC) solutions. It outlines APSU's credentials as an accredited IBM cloud partner with over 25 years of experience providing managed IT services. The vDC solutions are designed to be highly available and include managed services and optional additional support modules. Professional services such as SQL and Exchange administration can also be added. Key benefits of Interoute's vDC compared to other cloud providers are that monitoring, management and a 24/7 service desk are included in the pricing.
