Contegix Supports St. Louis Entrepreneurs; Donates $120,000 in Cloud Services

Contegix®, a cloud computing, colocation and managed hosting company that empowers customers by providing Go Beyond^TM support, is donating $120,000 of MiraCloud hosting service credits to the 2013 Arch Grants Global Startup Competition finalists and winners. Contegix is proud to be a passionate supporter of Arch Grants and building the entrepreneur community in St. Louis.

"We love the work Arch Grants is doing," said Matthew Porter, CEO of Contegix. "Arch Grants brings entrepreneurs to St. Louis, provides funding for the startups, and places the new business owners into a strong network to assist with rapid growth. We want to welcome these startups by enabling thei hosting needs and allowing them to focus on their day-to-day operations."

Contegix awards to the Arch Grants winners are the latest in a string of efforts that demonstrate the company's passion for entrepreneurship and its knowledge of the unique challenges in starting a business.

Contegix is honored to be a supporting partner of Arch Grants and is donating $5,000 worth of MiraCloud services to each of the 20 Arch Grants winners and an additional $500 of credits to all 40 Arch Grants finalists. MiraCloud is the first self-managed, cloud service built to address multiple needs, from startup to developer to enterprise requirements.

"We are thrilled with the very generous donation by Contegix of MiraCloud services to the Arch Grants winners and finalists," said Jerry Schlichter, President of Arch Grants. "As a unique global startup competition, Arch Grants is especially appreciative of being a partner with such an innovative St. Louis company, and we know the entrepreneurs will benefit enormously from this service."

Contegix provided a tour to the finalists of their new N+1 data center on April 26th, showing them where their MiraCloud will be hosted. Based on Citrix® CloudPlatform and powered by Apache CloudStack, MiraCloud is a self-managed cloud service that delivers consistent performance, easy migration, superior management and a technical support guarantee. The real power behind MiraCloud is its ability to be customized, combining cloud instances across multiple classes - allowing customers to choose different instances for different needs, even inside the same application infrastructure. Contegix is the first cloud company to offer such a customizable cloud platform.
