About The Customer

Exponential-e is a rapidly growing, British cloud and connectivity provider that delivers super-fast, low-latency connectivity, resilient cloud solutions and world-class managed services over its powerful 100GigE network. By staying true to its motto, “Your cloud is only as good as your network,” the company has earned a 96 percent satisfaction rating as a trusted partner and innovator from its more than 3000 clients spread across the United Kingdom and Europe.

The Challenge

Exponential-e’s development teams were constantly on the lookout for solutions that could help their clients maximize their IT infrastructures, while at the same time, help Exponential-e differentiate itself from the competition. They uncovered three fundamental pain points surrounding cloud adoption: Data management remains a costly and increasingly sophisticated challenge for most organizations. Even with cloud data replication services, users are frustrated with their inability to allocate resources where and when they need them most. Most clients use more than one cloud service provider. However, the more providers they add to their hybrid environments, the harder it is to ensure data transparency and visibility across an entire business landscape. Plus, more cloud providers mean less client control. Cloud expansion internationally – in a ubiquitous manner - is nearly impossible. Instead of finding a cloud service provider with an equally strong presence in every region of the world, companies are instead realizing that both the large hyper-scalers and the regional providers offer only pockets of geographical domination.

The Solution

Exponential-e evaluated many technology providers hoping to find a true partner that could help it integrate and deliver a powerful set of tools to better serve its clients, as well as meet its own business needs. After an extensive vendor search, Exponential-e selected Morpheus Data and its unified cloud management and orchestration platform, including automation, governance and analytics capabilities. Together, the two companies collaborated on a single, integrated cloud management offering hosted by Exponential-e and based on the Morpheus CMP. It’s an enterprise IT command center providing Exponential-e with a new service offering and providing game-changing modernization for their clients. The CMP for the first time, enables clients to benefit from the simplicity of one cloud interface, integrated with the rest of Exponential-e’s portfolio, that controls all things cloud. Exponential-e’s centralized model unifies cloud management regardless of the cloud provider, the environment, geography or application.

Operational Impact

Exponential-e can now deliver them the answer with: One service and provisioning model for all apps and clouds, One central bill no matter the cloud services or providers chosen, One interface to deploy, manage, migrate and replicate across clouds, One analytics engine to optimize spend, performance, SLAs and more, One role-based access control plane for governance and compliance.
The Morpheus-based platform offers clients: Freedom to choose the right combination of cloud providers and services for the best value, Convenience of signing one contract with Exponential-e instead of multiple contracts and SLAs, Ability to utilize a single interface to manage any cloud asset – no matter the cloud provider or platform, Flexibility to deploy, allocate and migrate resources across platforms, Access to a self-service environment that puts control back into the hands of customers, Greater strategic opportunity for re-sale partners already working with Exponential-e.
