MILWAUKEE (Feb. 21, 2011) – In order to deliver improved business agility and reduce the total cost of operations, Symmetry Corporation, an SAP hosting partner and industry leader in SAP Basis and security managed services, announced today the introduction of i IN THE SKY, an enterprise-ready cloud hosting solution for organizations running SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications.

“Every enterprise IT organization is looking to drive cost and complexity out of its operations,” said Dan Wilhelms, President of Symmetry. “i IN THE SKY leverages the best of Symmetry’s 15 years of experience in world-class SAP consulting and services to deliver ground-breaking infrastructure savings exceeding 50 percent.”

i IN THE SKY will enable organizations running SAP to leverage the benefits of the cloud in an enterprise-ready environment. The inherent scalability and flexibility of the cloud allows organizations to boost their competitive advantage. The ability to dynamically scale resources or stand up new environments as required dramatically improves business agility. Organizations also can reduce capital expenditure and related data center costs.
 
“Many of the cloud solutions available to date have been more suited to hosting websites than enterprise resource planning systems,” said Andy Quaas, Solution Architect, Symmetry. “i IN THE SKY is a true enterprise-ready solution specifically designed to meet the performance and security requirements of SAP environments.”

SAP is often an organization’s most critical application, and for this reason, system performance, data security and continuity are of the highest importance. Symmetry’s cloud hosting solution for SAP combines the latest cloud technologies, SAS70 Type II certified data centers, and Symmetry’s SAP application and hosting expertise to ensure that customer data and hardware performance are never compromised.

Symmetry Corporation will demonstrate i IN THE SKY cloud hosting solutions in Booth No.  202 at the BI/IT 2011 Conference from March 15-17 at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nev.
