IMS Provides Best-In-Class IaaS Through Partnership with VAZATA
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Innovative Management Solutions (IMS) and VAZATA (formerly Horizon Data
Center Solutions) are elevating their partnership to provide
best-in-class application hosting to Oracle end users.
“This strategic partnership will provide our customers access to the
best available Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), in VAZATA’s purpose
built cloud computing environment,” says Jeff Collins, CEO of IMS.
VAZATA’s vStructure™ IaaS is designed specifically to provide
flexibility, robust computing, virtualization, reliable backups and
disaster recovery for private and public sector organizations.
“This gives our customers a high level of security and redundancy while
also allowing them the ability to rapidly scale computing and storage
capacity,” said Mr. Collins.
As an Oracle Platinum Partner, specializing in Enterprise Project
Portfolio Management (EPPM), IMS has an outstanding reputation and a
proven track record assisting their customers to implement, support and
host Oracle’s full suite of Primavera products.
Both IMS and VAZATA have General Services Administration’s (GSA)
schedules in place and have worked together for several years to
successfully provide hosting services for a wide array of business
applications that complement their service offerings. For more

VAZATA has recently completed SSAE 16 Type II audits for its (three)
Tier 3 data centers -- two in Dallas and one in Manassas, Virginia --
and became part of the GSA Cloud First initiative that will provide
cloud services to the Federal Government. In addition, VAZATA was
officially the first (out of eventually 12) to receive their official
Authority to Operate (ATO) to provide such services. In order to receive
that ATO, VAZATA’s vStructure™ IaaS was put through an eight month
Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process that scrutinized the system
on more than 750 different control points to ensure performance against
the government security standards for both business continuity and
disaster recovery.
“Our world-class data centers and optimized cloud environment, combined
with IMS’ Oracle Primavera process, functional and technical expertise,
make this a unique and ideal partnership for Oracle end users, giving
them the best of both worlds, in one vendor,” said Lance Black, CEO of
Dallas-based VAZATA.
