The company, which brings together compute, network, storage and virtualisation into a single platform, hopes to approach clients across finance, aerospace, telco, energy and gaming industries in Europe.

Earlier this year it already signed its major European distie Big Technology, which in the past worked with Exclusive Networks. As its next step, Pluribus is strengthening its presence in Europe with new channel additions which include four new networking resellers: IGX, LAN2LAN, LATO Networks and Telesys, it says.

“We are excited to be entering the European market and build on our early customer successes with the help of our partners. Our innovative inNetwork services architecture and value proposition, coupled with our global service and support capabilities, will enable both enterprises and service providers in Europe to derive significant savings in capital and operational expenses,” says Kumar Srikantan, president of CEO of Pluribus Networks.

Prior to its expansion to Europe, the company launched its Pluribus Freedom solution in the US. It specialises in server-switch product line, network services platform based on off-the-shelf and open components to help virtualise and automate the network. Additionally the Pluribus’ offering is supported only by escalation engineers with no ‘helpdesk’, as it says.

Key targets for the Freedom server-switch include deployment of a cloud controller in an OpenStack implementation and according to a market consultancy IDG, over 80% of enterprises seeking to deploy private clouds will choose this path in the future.
