Serving a client base of over 7,000, primarily across German-speaking regions of the country, exigo ag collaborates with more than 200 distribution partners to deliver reliable cloud and infrastructure services.
Business / Technology Challenge
With over two decades of experience in the cloud service domain, exigo ag has developed deep expertise across a broad spectrum of managed service provider tools. In response to recent shifts in the market landscape, the organization made a strategic decision to transition its virtualization platform from Nutanix to OpenStack. However, the current implementation of OpenStack presents challenges, including a lack of support by current backup software.
The team at exigo ag began searching for an alternative, prioritizing following factors:
• Compatibility with the latest OpenStack release;
• Strong and reliable security features;
• Future readiness for Kubernetes integration;
• Personalized and responsive communication with the support team.
