CloudSigma’s services enable customers to “provision processing, storage, networks and other fundamental computing resources however they want”.

“CloudSigma’s partnership with CompatibleOne aligns so nicely with our vision for more unified computing initiatives and demonstrates our commitment to genuine interoperability and data portability,” explained CloudSigma’s CEO Robert Jenkins in a statement. “For our customers to be able to log in and easily monitor via a single platform a transparent, comprehensive view all of their cloud servers, regardless of location or cloud provider, saves them time, resources and a ton of management headaches.”

“CompatibleOne aims to support interoperability, portability, and reversibility in cloud computing services for the benefit of users,” added CompatibleOne’s CEO and founder, Jean-Pierre Laisne. “The cloud can only be truly open if you have open source technologies and open standards behind it, as well as other industry innovators promoting and investing in it. CloudSigma is a great example of one of those industry innovators, so we are really excited to partner with them and continue working toward a more advanced, open computing environment.”
