Datapipe has been named Asia Pacific Managed Cloud Company of the Year by Frost & Sullivan at their recent 2016 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Best Practices Award.

The Asia Pacific cloud computing market is developing at an immense pace. Enterprises and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region need to deploy cloud-based solutions to maintain their competitiveness. Datapipe can help them effectively implement and manage cloud services through a compelling end-to-end value proposition. The Asia Pacific Managed Cloud Company of the Year award highlights Datapipe’s commitment to improving its service portfolio through partnerships, acquisitions and organic technology.

According to Colin Chan, Vice President and General Manager for Asia, Datapipe, “We are honoured to be recognised for the amazing work our team does in Asia Pacific. In addition to our enhanced service capabilities, the award reaffirms Datapipe’s broad capabilities within the region, including serving clients such as China’s largest e-commerce services provider Baozun, and Singapore’s leading electronics retailer Challenger. The award also positions us as one of the fastest growing managed cloud providers in Asia Pacific.”

One of Datapipe’s key focus areas has been to enhance its service portfolio through collaborations. The company has partnered with cloud security provider FortyCloud to help enterprises in Asia Pacific better secure their Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. Datapipe also acquired DualSpark, an AWS consulting partner, and GoGrid, an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider, to secure and strengthen its position as a leading managed AWS cloud provider.

Datapipe’s focus on organic technology developments also strengthen its current core service portfolio by providing cloud-based web Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection services, and automation services for AWS deployment.

Colin added, “Alongside other industry awards, including Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting, which recognised our strength in executing cloud migration projects, and our Asia Pacific and American Stevie Awards, which celebrated our client-centric innovation efforts, the Frost & Sullivan award has shown that Datapipe’s strategy works and has been effective for enterprises in Asia Pacific and around the world.”
