DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Appcore®, provider of the industry's only complete automated cloud computing platform, today announced Jacksonville, Fla.-based Colo5 Disaster Recovery Center has selected the Appcore Onsite(TM) system to power their new cloud computing product, making simple and flexible private, public and hybrid cloud services available to businesses of any size in Colo5's highly secure, high-availability data center.

Appcore's fully automated platform expands Colo5's product line with a complete, ready-to-launch system that makes it fast and easy for any business to get up and running on the cloud in just days.

The new Appcore partnership enables Colo5 to deliver leading-edge IT services for its customers, while capturing new business and additional revenue by offering a highly sought-after, value-added service.

"Adding cloud to our offering enables us to provide a more comprehensive experience for our clients that makes us a much more valuable business partner with business continuity, disaster recover, telecom and cloud, all under one umbrella," said Ernie Bono, VP of cloud services with Colo5. "Appcore clearly understands the business of cloud computing, providing a comprehensive, robust product that deploys and scales quickly.
