This allows savings to be passed onto customers, who will enjoy the best of both worlds – a reliable cloud computing platform at a low cost.

We believe that OpenStack is the key to the next wave that will benefit end-users in the longer term.” said Mr. Wong Ka Vin, Managing Director of 1-Net Singapore. 1-Net’s Alchemy and Canonical brings customers:
