Rigstar's 'Managed Cloud Services' solution is the first comprehensive IaaS, PaaS and SaaS private/hybrid cloud platform available in Western Canada, and will provide enterprise organizations with a completely customizable suite of cloud services delivered within the footprint of a client's private network. The solution set will include three core offerings: 'Virtual Data Center in a Box', 'Cloud Enablement and Management' and 'Custom Application Mobility Services'.

"Rigstar Communications has a 13 year history of successfully building, deploying and operating high performance remote communication infrastructure to the Alberta oil sands," said Robert Hart, Rigstar's Chief Revenue Officer. "Our clients can now leverage that infrastructure to rapidly deploy a real-time, scalable and fully provisioned cloud computing platform, significantly improving business productivity and speed to revenue. By extending a corporate cloud to the most remote areas of a wide network, the CIO can fully realize the business benefits of their overall cloud strategy."

Jay Nair, Senior Vice President for Marlabs, said, "The cloud provides a transformative mechanism to drive more efficient, innovative and effective business processes, along with greater collaboration, communication, and cost savings. Using the Rigstar cloud platform, organizations will be able to build secure, tiered private and hybrid cloud solutions that can be provisioned in real-time. It is a privilege to partner with Rigstar Communications on this path breaking initiative."
