The first of these practices was also announced by the company located in Bangalore, India. Giles Sirett, CEO of ShapeBlue commented: “we are seeing a rapid increase in demand for our services relating to Apache CloudStack and Citrix CloudPlatform, being driven by both service providers building public cloud and enterprise adoption of private cloud.   We already regularly deploy teams into other regions, so building capability in rapidly developing markets is a logical next step for us. We expect Enterprise adoption of private cloud throughout 2013 rise significant but we also expect CloudStack’s market share of to rise exponentially. This is being   driven by both CloudStack’s increasing reputation as the most stable, proven cloud management system and also Citrix’s exciting plans to integrate cloud orchestration with their enterprise offerings.”

 

The new practice in India will be based at the Bangalore World Trade Center and will give ShapeBlue both Consulting and sales functions in the region from early February onwards.ShapeBlue will be hosting   an event “Cloud trends for 2013 – an IT executive briefing” in Bangalore on 7th February.
