Ongoing cybersecurity threats and business challenges are forcing IT leaders to modernise their technology stacks and explore the latest cloud-based compute, storage, and container solutions. ORock allows enterprises to build their applications on a government certified, enterprise-class, open-source cloud that powers interoperability and workload portability at speed and scale.
ORock offers its commercial enterprise, government customers and channel partners the highest levels of security, performance, and regulatory compliance, while eliminating the hidden costs of data egress fees.
“I’m delighted that Joshua will spearhead ORock’s technology leadership,” says Gregory Hrncir, co-founder, CEO and president, ORock Technologies. “Joshua is an ideal fit given his past success in driving innovation at high-growth companies and his contributions to the ORock technology stack and solutions implementation over the last three years.
