PQR further invests in data security and DRaaS by merging with 5W

Cloud integrator and IT service provider PQR will merge with 5W, a specialist in data security and Disaster Recovery as-a-Service (DRaaS). The merger should result in a more complete portfolio and greater customer reach.

According to both companies, the merger will soon have to offer customers a complete portfolio in the areas of data security, mobile security, backup and infrastructure management. Especially when it comes to managed services, such as the DRaaS solutions. In addition, according to the cloud integrator and IT service provider, a lot is expected from the backup as a service (BaaS) solutions that 5W can offer.

Mobile security solutions

Furthermore, PQR can now also offer an extensive security portfolio for mobile solutions. The merger with 5W now makes it possible for the cloud integrator and IT service provider to also provide BlackBerry’s mobile security solutions. This complements the entire portfolio of mobile device management solutions, including solutions from VMware, Microsoft and Citrix.

Complete care and expansion range

The merger will enable PQR to provide its customers with even more end-to-end IT solutions, including products, advice, implementation and management in the areas of cloud, end user computing and security and data recovery. For 5W, the merger means an opportunity to share the existing service and expertise with PQR’s large customer group. This means a greater reach for these services and the ability to grow faster as a service provider in this area.

It is likely that the now added managed security services will also become a modular part of the recently launched total concept SpaceHub with which the cloud integrator and IT service provider wants to relieve their customers of all their worries in the field of (hybrid) cloud environment.
