Corent Technology and eHosting
DataFort announce partnership
on cloud migration services
Nutanix appoints Cyril
VanAgt to lead Channel and
OEM activities in EMEA
C
orent Technology, a leader in cloud migration and modernisation
technologies, and eHosting Datafort (eHDF), one of the leading
hosting providers of cloud infrastructure, managed hosting and
security services in the Gulf region, have announced the signing of a
co-operation agreement.
Corent platform SurPaaS MaaS is a fully integrated platform that
allows system integrators and managed service providers to rapidly
analyse, plan, optimise and migrate their customers’ enterprise
applications into the target cloud. The target estate can be Azure,
AWS, GCP, IBM Softlayer, Oracle CI or even a hosted data centre, such
as eHDF.
The power of the platform lies in the fact that it can automatically
analyse, ‘cloudify’, ‘paasify’ and, if desired, ‘saasify’ practically
any software application without programming. This enables
organisations to manage and execute their migration journey to the
cloud in a cost effective, accelerated and optimised way, in line with
their own desired business roadmap.
“We are excited to start this partnership with eHDF as it enables
both eHDF and its customers to capitalise on their cloud ambition
by guiding and migrating customer IT assets to the cloud or hybrid
cloud environments,” said Feyzi Fatehi , CEO Corent Technology.
“Adoption of cloud is increasing rapidly in the Gulf region as
enterprises realise the business benefits of better agility and a
reduced data centre footprint.”

partnering and implementation, will see these partners gain
