Recently, one of VISI’s Solutions Architects, Johnny Hatch, was a panelist for a webinar hosted by FierceTelecom. Cloud Services was the focus of the webinar, as its panel of experts explored questions like:
•What are the compelling service provider cloud services strategies?
•What are the benefits of cloud services to businesses and consumers?
•Cloud service provider consolidation: What is the best strategy to grow your cloud business? Is it best to conduct targeted acquisition of other cloud providers or through organic growth? Or is it a combination of both approaches?
•What is the best strategy to create a profitable cloud-based Disaster Recovery/Continuity of Operations (DR/COOP) product?
•Public vs. Private clouds: What is the best strategy? Does it depend on particular customer’s needs?
•What is the best practice for storing and securing your valuable customer identity data?

With enStratus, customers gain an additional layer of security, reliability and cloud independence.
Their latest release includes enhancements in the following areas:
