The partnership will mean the UK public sector can benefit from a combined portfolio of innovative services that bring together Adapt’s enterprise-grade infrastructure management and service expertise with Skyscape’s highly secure accredited IaaS cloud platform. The unified G-Cloud 7-compliant services are now available via the Digital Marketplace and give public sector organisations secure, managed access to on-demand and scalable compute, storage and network resources that facilitate transformational projects.
Adapt can now offer its customers pre-approved and accredited platforms for applications that can move between different security levels – OFFICIAL AND OFFICIAL SENSITIVE (formerly IL2 and IL3) – as an on-demand service with a pay-by-the-hour pricing model. This will enable customers to make savings by turning off infrastructure when not in use, such as during evenings and weekends. Adapt will also use Skyscape’s agile platform to work with customers on a truly elastic cloud model that dynamically caters for peaks and troughs in usage.
“Our partnership with Skyscape Cloud Services is based on combined scale and reach,” said Stewart Smythe, CEO at Adapt. “With Skyscape’s industry-leading platform, unique connectivity and assurance credentials and our own infrastructure management and service expertise, together we provide an unrivalled proposition for the UK public sector.”
“We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Adapt, a company that shares our values and objectives to deliver end-to-end solutions that will help support the digital transformation of public services,” said Simon Hansford, CEO at Skyscape Cloud Services. “Adapt’s rich catalogue of offerings and its capacity and experience makes it an invaluable managed service partner for us.”
The partnership represents a new level of managed service partner for Skyscape, bringing Adapt’s richsuite of managed services onboard. Adapt’s services will complement the many solutions delivered on Skyscape’s assured cloud platform, supporting its ongoing commitment to delivering secure end-to-end managed services to UK public sector organisations.
