Equinix Bolsters Cloud With Nimbo

E-mail Print PDF

Datacenter and interconnection vendor Equinix is the next company to acquire further cloud capabilities with Nimbo, a professional services company specialised on enterprise hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Equinix NimboThe financial details of the deal are not available, but Nimbo revenues stand at around $10 million for 2014.

Nimbo's speciality is the migration of business applications to the cloud, particularly the moving of legacy application to hybrid architectures and connecting legacy datacenters to the cloud. It is a certified AWS and Microsoft Azure partner and "trusted advisor" to some of the largest organisations in the world.

Post-acquisition Nimbo should remain an independent company under the leadership of current CEO John Shaw, thus ensuring vendor-agnostic services to enterprise clients. However it will still make part of Equinix plans to expand into datacenter migration, WAN optimisation and scalable hybrid cloud solutions.

"Nimbo has a thriving practice, advising many of the Fortune 100 on their cloud strategies, winning awards for growth and innovation in this space," Equinix says. "With our acquisition of Nimbo, we have expanded our ability to help customers leverage our unique cloud-density and Cloud Exchange value propositions and assist with the design and deployment of hybrid cloud solutions."
