BOSTON, MA — (Marketwired) — 08/08/13 — , the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) company that completely reengineered the delivery of cloud computing, ranks among the world-s Top 100 Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), according to Nine Lives Media-s third-annual Talkin- Cloud 100 report. ProfitBricks ranked 75th on the overall Talkin- Cloud 100 list and first on the list of 25 Fastest Growing CSPs.
ProfitBricks recently shook up the cloud computing world when it slashed its , even as it showed performance levels twice that of the major competitors. In all, Talkin- Cloud-s Top 100 CSPs generated more than $15.7 billion in combined cloud services revenues in 2012, up nearly 37 percent, according to the report, which is available now by visiting .
“Being named to the Talkin- Cloud list is a clear indication of how far ProfitBricks has come in a short time,” said ProfitBricks USA CEO Bob Rizika. “The cloud industry has grown tremendously in the past few years and the growth shows no sign of slowing down. Now, as the IT channel, particularly VARs and MSPs, ramp up their customer deployments, Cloud Computing 2.0 technologies companies like ProfitBricks, make it easier and more profitable for growth to accelerate.” We are going to continue to see on-premise server sales decline as cloud computing infrastructure becomes faster, easier to use and more profitable to sell.”
“The Talkin- Cloud 100 honor arrives amid a land grab in the cloud computing market. And the Talkin- Cloud 100 companies are leading that land grab,” said Amy Katz, president of Nine Lives Media, a division of Penton.
