Vox enhances
cloud assessment
service
ntegrated ICT and infrastructure
provider Vox has automated its
cloud assessment service to
provide clients with a more cost-effective
and transparent way of transitioning to a
cloud environment.

The assessment is done across the
entire ICT infrastructure of a business
environment. It examines all the physical
devices connected on-site, the size of the
resources, how much of those are used
and what the network looks like.
It also examines the application, user, LAN
and WAN dependencies to give complete
insight into what will be required to
migrate to the cloud.
“Through this enhanced offering, Vox
ensures businesses can run as lean and
efficiently as possible when it comes to
the cloud. The process was previously
manual-driven and by automating it, Vox
is delivering a best practice solution at a
world-class level,” said Daniel Jacobs, Senior
Manager of Cloud Computing at Vox.
“We are harnessing the capabilities of
multiple sophisticated probing tools.”
He added: “By automating the report, Vox
can deliver an accurate assessment of not
only the ideal cloud environment for the
business’s needs, but also exactly what
the migration will cost.”
Vox also follows a cloud-agnostic
approach to ensure clients have the choice
of any cloud platform that meets their
budget and business requirements.

The Dutch Data Center Association’s
State of the Dutch Data Centers 2019
report explains that Amsterdam
is Europe’s largest hyperscale and
colocation market – and grew by
20% in MW in 2018. The Netherlands
contains 189 large multi-tenant data
centres, the report adds, with about
72% of all Dutch data centres found in
the Amsterdam region.
“We’re thrilled to offer our clients fast,
convenient entry into one of the world’s
most critical data centre hubs, which
has become a tricky area to tap into
due to current market limitations,” said
Avner Papouchado, CEO of ServerFarm.
In July, Amsterdam and Haarlemmermeer
called a moratorium on new data centre
builds, according to Bloomberg.
