WestconGroup Enhances Cloud Portfolio With Addition of QTS Realty Trust

TARRYTOWN, N.Y., March 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- WestconGroup, the leading value-added global distributor of security, unified communications, network infrastructure and data center solutions, today announced its Comstor business practice has expanded its Cisco-powered cloud services offerings through a new agreement with QTS Realty Trust. The deal provides North American resellers with a wide selection of QTS cloud services, specifically Cisco Powered Infrastructure as a Service and FedRAMP compliant Cloud Services solutions.

The QTS suite of Cisco-powered cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solutions are available to customers who seek increased budget flexibility and control while maximizing the benefits of cloud services. QTS Enterprise Cloud and QTS Federal Cloud, both built on best-of-breed platform technologies including Cisco, EMC and VMWare, were launched in early 2014, and the QTS Federal Cloud achieved FedRAMP compliance in December 2014.

"Comstor is aggressively expanding our Cisco-based cloud services portfolio in order to better serve our solution providers.  The QTS suite of solutions are a great addition to that lineup because they meet the demand for flexible cloud services for both commercial and Federal government customers," said Geoff Fancher, SVP of Comstor in the US, WestconGroup. "As members of the Cisco InterCloud partner ecosystem, both Comstor and QTS are aligned in our efforts to provide solution providers with most powerful tools and cloud services on the market today."

QTS' FedRAMP certification provides Federal customers with the flexibility, scalability and security needed to move to the cloud while meeting compliance standards, while Comstor's global network of solution providers specializing in Cisco networking, collaboration, security, cloud and data center solutions provide a powerful coverage model for customers of all sizes.

"This joint business opportunity is a win-win due to Comstor's network of Cisco resellers and desire to expand their service offerings," said Frank Eagle, vice president of business development at QTS. "There is great synergy between the two companies with QTS' Cloud Services and our focus on the Federal Government vertical. We anticipate that we will quickly broaden beyond the Federal space to all industry verticals through our partnership and Comstor's established network of resellers."
