Heiko Koop, CEO of Linxdatacenter, and Andrey Zakharov, NewTech Director at Linxdatacenter, talk with John Furrier & Stu Miniman at Cisco Live 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. #CLEUR #theCUBE https://siliconangle.com/2018/02/06/inside-russias-first-hyperconvertible-cloud-solution-linxdatacenter-cleur/ Inside Russia’s first hyperconvertible cloud solution for Linxdatacenter It’s called the HyperCloud, and it’s Linxdatacenter’s process for creating private, public and hybrid clouds and letting them communicate with each other through dedicated channels. Announced in the middle of 2017, the technology for HyperCloud — supplied by Cisco’s HyperFlex hardware and Veeam’s availability solutions — resulted in less time spent to deploy cloud systems or increase capacity. HyperCloud is billed by Linxdatacenter as the first hyperconvertible cloud solution to appear in the Russian information technology market. The Linxdatacenter solution is yet another example of how service providers are working with businesses to reduce critical factors such as the cost of equipment maintenance and operation of information technology systems. “Buying equipment, buying software, and trying to service your own company, this is not how it works anymore. The technology is becoming so advanced that the CTOs, the decision-makers from our clients, they really need help and support in their IT journey,” said Heiko Koop (pictured, left), chief executive officer of Linx Telecommunications Holding BV and Linxdatacenter, a business consultant and provider of data center services in Russia and Eastern Europe. Koop stopped by the set of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the Cisco Live event in Barcelona, Spain,nd spoke with host Stu Miniman (@stu). He was joined by Andrey Zakharov (pictured, right), director of products and innovations at Linxdatacenter, and they discussed the company’s global cloud business strategy and its approach to integrating new technologies for customers. (* Disclosure below.) Active presence in Eastern Europe In addition to its operation in Moscow, Linxdatacenter owns data operations in St. Petersburg and Warsaw with a capacity of 2,730 racks. The company has been active in building new cloud solutions throughout Eastern Europe. “Together with Cisco, we launched the first cloud platform in the Warsaw data center,” Zakharov said. “This area is really booming.” Linxdatacenter recently sold its telecommunications business segment, which consisted primarily of a high-speed underwater fiber-optic cable, to the Chinese firm CITIC Telecom CPC. The move allowed the company to focus on its colocation services and cloud solutions business. “We realized that if you are only in the data center business, you really need to be very good in the services that you provide, which are colocation, power and electricity,” Koop said. “Our strategy is that we would like to be the specialists servicing our clients, [showing] how to get processes into the new technology.” Watch the complete video interview below, and be sure to check out more of SiliconANGLE’s and theCUBE’s coverage of Cisco Live Barcelona 2018.
