Virtustream has partnered with Sapphire Systems, a global provider of financial accounting and business management solutions. The partnership will see Virtustream provide Sapphire with fully managed IaaS capabilities for its SAP Business One OnDemand environments worldwide.
Virtustream’s expertise in hosting and infrastructure out of UK, US and EMEA data centres will allow Sapphire to provide a consistently high quality hosting service to its customers around the world. The µVMTM (micro-VM) technology that underlies Virtustream’s cloud management software, xStream, will enable Sapphire to deliver enterprise-ready, secure cloud environments for mission critical and production applications such as SAP Business One.
The managed IaaS capabilities Virtustream offers and experience in dealing with ERP software performance has seen Sapphire capable of managing complex, production-critical applications for clients without impact on business performance.

This is a long-term partnership that we look forward to expanding beyond Sapphire’s SAP Business One environments.”
