Company honored for hybrid infrastructure deployment
BOULDER, Colo. – June 7, 2016 – Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) and Canoe received the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Partner Ready for Service Providers 2016 Customer Excellence Award in the “Transform to a Hybrid Infrastructure” category. The companies were recognized based on Canoe’s successful implementation of Zayo’s hybrid infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.
Canoe’s video on demand (VOD) dynamic ad insertion (DAI) business has seen incredible growth since launching in 2013. The company went from over two billion decisions the first year, six billion the second, 11 billion in 2015, and is on target to top the number again in 2016. Their traditional IT infrastructure was challenged in sustaining this rate of growth. Canoe selected Zayo, a premier HPE partner, to implement a hybrid cloud infrastructure that would enable them to scale to meet their growth needs.
“Zayo’s hybrid cloud solution delivers an exceptional mix of flexibility and performance,” said Greg Friedman, executive vice president of Colocation and Cloud Infrastructure at Zayo. “Now Canoe can continue on its impressive growth trajectory without the resource and time constraints of buying and maintaining their own infrastructure.”
“As our rapid growth increased our infrastructure demands, we knew traditional IT could not scale to meet our growing needs,” said Sid Gregory, senior vice president of architecture and engineering at Canoe. “By implementing a hybrid cloud environment, Zayo and HPE enabled us to eliminate the wait time for additional servers and rack space, which in turn allows us to get applications to market quickly.”
“The HPE Partner Ready for Service Providers 2016 Customer Excellence Award honors partners’ collaboration with their customers on business outcomes. We are delighted to bestow this year’s Transform to a Hybrid Infrastructure category award to Zayo Group,” said Chuck Adams, regional sales manager, HPE Partner Ready for Service Providers program.
