Red Forge Transforms Hybrid Cloud to Extend Utility Model to All IT Infrastructure

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Forge, a company introduced publicly to the market today, develops solutions that enable Service Providers to install, operate and manage Information Technology (IT) infrastructure that runs more reliably with higher performance. Unlike most "cloud" companies offering monthly billing for compute or server-based services, Red Forge solutions extend the utility model to Wide Area Network (WAN), Local Area Network (LAN), Unified Communications, and Data Center platforms. Red Forge has created a new IT infrastructure and cloud services market category that analysts have not yet identified.

The launch is in response to customer demand for a holistic, high performance IT infrastructure that is not only more reliable and secure, but also more scalable. Red Forge solutions are delivered in a flexible utility model regardless of where the infrastructure resides. Based on proven, industry-specific reference architectures, Red Forge solutions reduce complexity and associated defects so that IT departments can focus on innovation and projects that drive growth in their core business. 

Red Forge developed Continuous Infrastructure Service™ (CIS™), a suite of offerings launched in 2012 jointly with IT infrastructure leader, Alliant Technologies.  CIS™ delivers end-to-end IT infrastructure services in a utility model so that global commercial customers can eliminate unplanned infrastructure incidents, forecast spending, and keep networks current.

The Red Forge methodology has a foundation of expert engineering.  It begins with a comprehensive roadmap built to help understand current business needs and future state goals. It then extends to solution deployment, ongoing monitoring, repair and proactive administration that keep the environment running at optimal levels.

"We are very excited about the public launch of Red Forge and our ability to expand to a consumption model that goes beyond just servers in the cloud, to all IT infrastructure," commented Red Forge CEO, Bruce Flitcroft. "We're addressing the CIOs need for an end-to-end solution that's reduces risk and complexity while scaling with their business.  Red Forge reflects our vision of a better customer experience and our values of honor, fearlessness and innovation." 

Red Forge will work with its partner company, Alliant Technologies, to provide end-to-end solutions to customers.  Red Forge will continue to invest in IT infrastructure innovation through research and development in order to ensure customers are always equipped with the most cutting-edge, reliable solutions.  Alliant will continue to bring the solutions to market as Red Forge's Premier Service Provider.   More information can be found in the new Red Forge website www.redforgeco.com and Alliant's refreshed website www.allianttech.com.
