Nov. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Albany, NY, November 30, 2011 – Linium Partners with SHI to Offer Next Generation Cloud Solution to Clients

Joe Burke, CEO of Linium, LLC (www.linium.com), announced today that Linium will partner with SHI International (www.shi.com ), one of North America’s top 20 largest IT solutions providers, to offer the SHI Cloud, a next generation infrastructure-as-a-service offering solely designed for IT organizations. The SHI Cloud combines best-of-breed technologies to create the most secure, high-performance and industrial-grade cloud offering with private/dedicated, managed, or multi-tenant options. Burke added, "We are excited to offer our expertise as part of SHI’s program. Within days, a client’s IT infrastructure can be logically extended to the cloud, providing transparency, security, and ease-of-use to the organization and its clients.”

SHI, a leading IT hardware, software and professional services solution provider, built the Industrial Cloud to help clients benefit from cloud computing quickly and cost-effectively while not sacrificing security and reliability. “Organizations have been asking for more than the consumer-grade solutions offered by the myriad of vendors in the cloud space,” says Thai Lee, President and CEO of SHI. “The vast majority of IT managers interested in the benefits of cloud computing—cost savings, business agility, disaster recovery, and right-sizing on demand—don’t want to rebuild all of their applications just to take advantage of enterprise-capable solutions. SHI offers the first solution that is a logical, transparent extension of an organization’s infrastructure that doesn’t require replacing existing systems. Working together with technology from world class partners, the SHI Cloud is free to utilize the industry’s best available technology in a truly unique cloud offering.”

Linium’s VP of sales Don Brandt commented, “Until now, cloud-computing has remained more of a concept than a crucial working platform for most IT organizations. While there’s been an explosion of software and services that make use of the basic cloud-computing model, nobody, from the largest players to the smallest startups, has produced a cloud-computing platform appropriate for industrial-grade computing. We are confident this offering will help our clients and customers take full advantage of the cloud.”

Linium's unparalleled product expertise, specialty partnerships, world-class service offerings, and award winning custom solutions are a natural choice for clients expecting to maximize value from an infrastructure investment.
