London, U.K., 11 January 2016 – British cloud and network provider, Exponential-e, has achieved approved supplier status on the G-Cloud 7 framework. Through its wide area network (WAN) offering delivered over its wholly-owned, 100 gig-Ethernet network, it can now readily deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Specialist Cloud Services (SCS) solutions to organisations in the public sector.

“The G-Cloud 7 award is another important area of Exponential-e’s comprehensive public sector package,” explained David Lozdan, head of public sector at Exponential-e. “Paired with our recent network services award, we can make it even simpler for customers to select connectivity services that complement the cloud services offered via G-Cloud.”

•         Managed Desktop-as-a-Service (MDaaS) – support services team proactively monitoring DaaS infrastructures to optimise IT and reduce the risk of failures

“Since its inception, G-Cloud has aimed to offer a broader range of cloud computing services to the public sector and greater flexibility in procurement contracts,” concluded Lee Wade, CEO, Exponential-e. “As the framework continues to open up new opportunities for public sector contracts, we look forward to standing up against the competition to grow our presence in this sector. Over the next few months, we will be investing in sales and marketing initiatives to raise awareness of our ability to offer access to resilient cloud services that remain on the inside of the corporate firewall and are delivered over a reliable and secure network.”
