Skyscape announces price cut on cloud services

LONDON, UK: Skyscape Cloud Services Limited, has announced that it is reducing prices for its compute-as-a-service, storage-as-a-service and email-as-a-service offerings, in some cases by nearly 60 per cent. The price reductions follow a thorough service review in an effort to deliver more cost-effective solutions and a superior quality of service.

The review will see improved Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and the price reductions come into effect on November 1, 2013. The changes will automatically apply to all customers and partners, not just those placing orders after that date.

Skyscape is able to offer these price reductions due to the significant economies of scale that its success to date has delivered. Skyscape's customers will also benefit from more simple and effective solutions with the introduction of the improved SLAs, automatic VM backup as standard for some service levels (previously an additional chargeable service option) and clearer connectivity options.

"As a company, we are firm believers in the G-Cloud Framework and the truly transformational impact that it has had since its launch in February 2012. While G-Cloud presents a simply unmissable opportunity for all, service providers must ensure they are constantly evaluating the quality and price of their offerings, as the competition in the market is now so fierce, thanks to the success of the programme in driving up standards," said Phil Dawson, CEO of Skyscape.

Skyscape provides a range of assured cloud computing services dedicated to the UK public sector and is currently working on over 100 projects across central government, local authorities, police, healthcare and other publicly funded bodies.
