Leading distributor Exertis has unveiled a partnership with Cloudist, an innovative Swedish distributor of automated green cloud services, in the world’s first climate-positive data centre.
Cloudist is a Swedish green cloud provider that distinguishes itself from other providers by offering 100% green sustainable cloud services, predictable costs, no lock-in, and accessible and personal service. Its vision is to be the leading pioneer in green cloud services.
Based on Cloudist’s motto ’Green Clouds Ahead’, the company’s offering includes no commitment period, a 100% predictable costs structure, a scalable, pay-as-you-go model that enables IT companies to free up resources, and the capability for customers to personalise a white-label reseller portal with full multi-tenancy functionality.
Today, cloud services are contributing up to 3.7% of CO2 emissions. As a comparison, the aviation industry is at 2.5%. Cloudist’s services are delivered from one of the world’s most sustainable data centres – running on only green hydro energy. Customers can access virtual servers, backup, S3 buckets, Microsoft 365 subscriptions, and disaster recovery as a service through our unique portal.
Daniel Söderström, General Manager, Exertis Enterprise Nordics, said: “Cloudist’s net positive, sustainable ethos supports our DCC-wide strategy, and is an important element of future IT initiatives. We are proud to be the first distributor for Cloudist in mainland Europe, and look forward to enabling them to expand into new regions. Exertis is Cloudist’s primary route to market, and focuses on Sweden in the initial phase.”
Jasenko Masic, CEO of Cloudist, said: “Joining forces with Exersis gives us the opportunity to continue full speed ahead to take Cloudist’s climate-positive cloud platform to a whole new level and new markets. Together, we will make the Nordic IT region the greenest in Europe. Our motto ’Green Clouds Ahead’ is stronger than ever.”
