Ospero: Still young, thinking big

Ospero was founded in 2011 by CEO, Jason Currill - and he is thinking big. The firm describes itself as a “global Cloud utility company”, based on its key offerings: vGrid and vPlatform. vGrid is based on VCE’s Vblock cloud infrastructure. Ospero manages a network of 23 data centres across Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, offering hosting and infrastructure-as-a-service. vPlatform is a way for customers to manage internal and external clouds for development and testing. The platform has connectors to Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Fujitsu, GoGrid and Savvis.

Partnerships are central to the way Ospero operates. Colt, Verizon and SingTel infrastructure underpins vGrid, while its relationship with EMC is proving to be critical to helping Ospero offer flexible payment and consumption models for its 'storage as a service' proposition. But as a minnow amongst a number of much larger fish, Ospero will have to swim fast and smart to ensure it doesn’t get caught before it has a chance to grow.
