“For Aruba it was fundamental to take part in an event specifically designed for the world of cloud-native development, which gave us the opportunity to experience first-hand the effectiveness of the solution we are developing and to collect the latest feedback in view of the launch” comments Massimo Bandinelli, Marketing Manager of Aruba Cloud. “We met many other Italian veteran companies at the event who appreciated the presence of an all-Italian provider able to offer this managed technology and which will allow them to develop cloud applications with a national interlocutor with European coverage.”
