Derive migrates businesses to the cloud through a blend of established IT infrastructure with virtual models, as well as, in the words of our Tier One Alliance Partner, Hewlett Packard (HP), a “complete integrated platform for building and managing cloud services.” According to HP, most business enterprises “are adopting cloud five times faster than IT operations,” as they offer immediate advantages, recognized by business users, to best enable innovation, speed performance and “time to revenue.” With Derive’s solutions, we, in the words of HP, “build and manage services across the private, public, and hybrid clouds” for our clients that offer:
-
“Single services view across private, public, and hybrid cloud

According to our partner, Citrix, Derive, supports “a full range of ‘platform-as-a-service’ development environments, storage systems, servers and management software” through Citirx’s Cloud.com platform.
With our partner, VMware:
-
We bring cloud computing to businesses through, in VMware’s words, “existing infrastructure investments—server, storage and network—to create highly available pools of computing resources.”
-
According to VMware, “by applying service-level policies to applications,” Derive and VMware gives business “users more control over provisioning and paying for IT services.”
-
Alongside of VMware, we offer a revolutionary “common cloud infrastructure platform bridging private and public cloud resources to create a hybrid cloud architecture,” with the VSphere® platform and much more.
Applications in the Cloud with Microsoft and Citrix
Derive teams with Microsoft to support the migration of all traditional business application frameworks to the cloud. This includes:
-
The migration of existing applications such as productivity apps, communications (mail, messaging, etc.), and their related data, as well as the creation of models wherein, according to Microsoft, you have a “flexible platform you can easily scale up or down to meet the demands of your business.” On that platform, you can expand on and test functionality of existing applications, as well as implement, run, test and customize new apps.
-
Using the Windows® Azure® cloud platform, Derive offers your IT department, according to Microsoft, “the flexibility to choose where and how you manage, deploy, and store data, while you focus on business challenges and customer needs.”
-
Derive and Microsoft support “cloud computing across public and private cloud environments with shared components – identity, management, development tools – to ensure the investments you make today move you ahead in the future.”
Derive’s Platinum Solution Advisor relationship with Citrix also brings to our clients Citrix’s “XenApp and XenDesktop - market leading virtualization solutions that let cloud providers deliver Windows apps and desktops as a service to any device.” Citrix’s “CloudStack™ product line” helps Derive to ‘deploy and manage’ for businesses of any size, “simple, cost-effective cloud services that are scalable, secure, and open by design.”
