LONDON, July 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Opsera, a leading UK open source software and services company, today announces a new partnership with NTT Europe Online to provide clients with managed hosting, security and application management services. Opsera designs, develops and supports business systems using a wide range of open source software. This partnership allows Opsera to offer clients a complete managed service solution from a company with over ten years of experience and a proven track record of reliability.

Secure, scalable hosting is a business necessity for any organisation, and high growth businesses in particular, need a scaleable infrastructure to accommodate rapid expansion and guarantee business continuity. Outsourcing of online applications to Opsera and NTT Europe Online allows expanding businesses to concentrate their resources on driving unique innovation and go to market business models, whilst having the backing and reliability of a global organisation (NTT Europe Online is a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications - the international arm of Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation, NTT). High growth businesses are rapidly recognising the benefits of both open source solutions over proprietary technology and the outsourcing model to effectively support their expansion. Together the partners offer a tailored, scaleable system that reduces both up front capital expenditure and on-going operational support costs.

Michael Walton, CEO of Opsera commented, "We are delighted to formalise our relationship with NTT Europe Online by joining their partner programme. Opsera's ability to combine NTT Europe Online's scalable managed services with open source software that meets our client's requirements, means we can deliver modern, highly cost-effective solutions that can grow in line with our client's business operations."

Damian Skendrovic, Regional Director UK at NTT Europe Online, said, "In the current economic climate, there has never been a greater need for companies to be agile in their approach to doing business. Secure and reliable IT systems are recognised as a must-have and, as the market evolves rapidly and businesses have to shift and adapt to compete, IT must support and enable this development. Opsera's open source pedigree and NTT Europe Online's managed hosting expertise naturally compliment each other, giving companies a flexible and scalable IT infrastructure that can evolve alongside their own business requirements."
