EVRY selects technology from Microsoft for its new operating platform
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
(Oslo, 8 May 2013) EVRY has entered into a technology partnership with Microsoft
as part of the development of its new state-of-the-art operating platform -
Future Proof. Through this agreement, EVRY will offer its customers an
innovative and forward-looking solution, while at the same time the company lays
the foundation for a significant reduction in operating costs.
The market demands variable access to processing capacity that reflects
fluctuations in the volume of activity in users' own businesses. This means that
customers expect complete flexibility so that they always have access to the
processing capacity that they need - and when they need it. EVRY will now offer
this flexibility through its new Future Proof operating services organisation,
using technology from Microsoft.
Innovation and competitiveness
EVRY has accordingly selected Microsoft's platform (Cloud OS) with Windows
Server 2012, Hyper-V and System Center 2012 as part of the company's
technological foundation for its Future Proof program. In addition to software
from Microsoft, EVRY has entered into agreements with hardware vendors to ensure
that purchases of new infrastructure can take place "on demand" in response to
the company's capacity requirements from time to time.
"Using technology from Microsoft , EVRY will build standardised platforms that
combine automation with flexibility. This will play a central role in developing
a competitive operating services organisation that delivers services with high
standards of reliability and satisfies the market's demands for service quality.
With Cloud OS, EVRY will have one of the most innovative and state-of-the-art
platforms in the market, and we will be able to offer customers new solutions
while at the same time reducing our operating costs. This will deliver greater
competitiveness and a speedier transition to cloud services", explains Håvard
Larsen, EVP Nordic Operations of EVRY.
"EVRY's ambition is to build the best and most industrialised IT operations
centre ever seen in Norway. We therefore welcome EVRY's decision to use our
solutions and platforms to achieve this ambitious target, and see this as an
important endorsement for Microsoft", comments Hege Skryseth, Managing Director
of Microsoft Norway.
Well suited for flexible ways of working
Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V and System Center 2012 form the core of Cloud
OS. This platform addresses technology and IT trends that will change our daily
life in the years ahead, including new expectations and requirements for more
flexible ways of working. Today's employees expect to have access to data,
services and apps wherever they are and whenever they wish. They also expect to
be able to work from their personal PC, tablet PC or smart phone. In response to
these trends, Microsoft's platform makes it possible to develop solutions that
are independent of platforms, locations, and devices, while at the same time
offering simplified administration and ensuring security.
A forward-looking and industrialised operations centre will deliver major
benefits for both EVRY and the company's customers. Consolidation and
streamlined administration will allow significant cost savings, while at the
same time simplified operations and administration will release time and
resources for greater innovation and value creation.
The choice of Microsoft's platform is in addition to the vBlock solution from
Cisco, VMware and EMC, which are already installed. There are accordingly now
two technological cornerstones for EVRY's new operations concept.
