OpSource Named Top Cloud and Infrastructure Company

OpSource, Inc., the leader in enterprise cloud and managed hosting, today announced that OpSource has been named the top cloud and infrastructure company on the AlwaysOn Global 250 list.

The companies selected for the AlwaysOn Global 250 represent the top private companies that are demonstrating significant market traction and pursuing game-changing technology. The list is selected by AlwaysOn editors in collaboration with partners at Manatt, Morgan Stanley, the Blackstone Group, KPMG, Silicon Valley Bank, Sonnenschein, and Bridge Bank, as well as industry experts across the globe. Judges recognize honorees based on market opportunity, nature of innovation, media buzz and awareness, commercialization and ability to create stakeholder value.

"After examining the companies that are on the AlwaysOn Global 250 list, it's obvious that innovation is not only alive and well in the Global Silicon Valley, it's accelerating in economic power and scope," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The winners certainly represent some of the highest-growth opportunities around, and we're pleased to recognize OpSource for the great strides it has made in pioneering and developing the cloud infrastructure marketplace."

OpSource CEO Treb Ryan will be a featured speaker at the 8th Annual AlwaysOn & Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) Summit at Stanford 2010, which is being held from July 27-29, 2010, at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

"OpSource is driving innovation in the cloud computing industry by bringing truly enterprise-class cloud hosting services to the market. We've gone beyond the commodity cloud value proposition to offer the strongest service level guarantees, game-changing security and control, and innovative channel programs," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "We thank AlwaysOn for this great recognition, and look forward to accelerating our industry by helping enterprises and service providers to migrate mission-critical applications to the cloud."

Offering more than traditional hosting services, OpSource provides Application Operations, which includes database management, compliance management, change management, performance management and application optimization. In 2009, the company introduced OpSource Cloud Hosting, a cloud service offering pay-as-you-go flexibility, 100% availability as well as high security, control and support of multi-tenancy.
OpSource this week also announced the OpSource Partner Ecosystem, a comprehensive new program designed to enable integrators, developers, ISVs, cloud platform companies and telecom providers to offer integrated solutions for their joint customers. OpSource's unique offerings address the needs for high security, control, performance and ease of integration. OpSource believes that more than 50% of its revenue will come from the channel, and has redefined its strategy to better support the needs of enterprises and the channel. The OpSource Partner Ecosystem will speed enterprise adoption of the cloud by reducing the burden of integration, shortening time to market for new services, and lowering the total cost of implementation and ownership for both partners and customers.
