PLUS ePlus inc

ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS) today announced the launch of its Multi-Cloud Architecture framework, a new methodology to help organizations design and optimize their enterprise architecture to support cloud solutions. As the vast majority of organizations turn to a multi-cloud approach, where users are distributed and applications span multiple cloud platforms, this ePlus framework provides guidance and expertise for building a foundation based on high availability, predictable performance, security, and cost optimization.

The ePlus Multi-Cloud Architecture encompasses the design and framework for all aspects of IT infrastructure that should be optimized for cloud. This includes areas such as data center, networking, wide area network (WAN), connectivity, and security. ePlus helps customers build a comprehensive foundation to guide multi-cloud design, integration, and operational decisions, empowering them to:

• Deliver predictable performance from cloud applications or workloads
• Lower the cost of dedicated cloud connectivity and leverage cost-effective data transfer methods for each cloud platform
• Create a highly-available foundation on which to leverage any cloud platform or service
• Establish a “security-first” foundation for applications and data across multiple cloud platforms

“The ability to leverage cloud platforms to deliver applications is one of the most powerful opportunities we have seen in recent history. But along with that power comes risk and complexity that require proper planning,” said Justin Mescher, vice president of cloud solutions at ePlus. “Through our Multi-Cloud Architecture framework, ePlus empowers customers to harness the power of the cloud while maintaining the same control, visibility, and security that they have delivered in the data center for years.”

ePlus enables organizations to execute on the best strategy to build and manage a cloud-enabled enterprise foundation by providing industry-leading expertise, services, and solutions that address new requirements of consumption-based cloud platforms that arise around security, compliance, cost optimization, visibility, and connectivity.
