JERSEY CITY, NJ--(Marketwire - Jun 28, 2012) - Cloud provider Datapipe, a global provider of managed services, infrastructure, and IT cloud computing, today announced it has been recognized by Talkin' Cloud on its Top 100 Cloud Services Provider list.

Engineered to meet enterprise requirements for governance, usability, compliance and interoperability, Stratosphere™ is a globally available, high-performance managed cloud computing platform.

"Unlocking the power of the cloud requires a clear understanding of the appropriate use cases for cloud technology," Allen said.
