Mobile offerings company Ixonos and a Web content management (WCM) and customer experience management provider eZ Systems have partnered to build a flexible and reliable cloud offering.

The Ixonos-enabled eZ Publish Cloud helps turn eZ’s open source Web content management platform eZ Publish into a customised cloud edition.

Ixonos has already launched an open and secure enterprise cloud offering called Ixonos Elastic Cloud, the first Red Hat certified cloud, which is designed for the numerous enterprise customers already running their applications in Red Hat Linux environments.

Forming the basis of eZ Publish, Cloud Ixonos Elastic Cloud allows eZ customers to benefit from guaranteed platform stability as well as a high degree of service and support.

By pre-packaging five different levels of cloud services, eZ allows its Publish Cloud customers to enjoy hassle-free service instead of each of them having to configure resource capacity and hosting separately, tasks which are often time-consuming and arduous.

Ixonos Online Solutions head Teppo Kuisma said the deal with eZ Systems enable Ixonos to offer its own cloud customers a hefty, globally capable web content management platform developed by the number one open source WCM provider.

"I trust this will attract Internet service vendors and various other companies who wish to build their business models in the cloud," said Kuisma.
