Redbus Interhouse SpA, the Italian division of Europe’s most advanced, independent colocation and managed services provider, today announces a major partnership with GlobalTrust, the European Registration Authority that issues digital certificates for Entrust, a leading provider of global security solutions.

Under the agreement, GlobalTrust will work closely with Redbus Interhouse (Italy) SpA to deliver Entrust IdentityGuard, an easy-to-use strong authentication solution for Internet and enterprise applications, to companies of all sizes as a hosted or colocated solution. In doing so, the partnership will create the first IdentityGuard Secure Provider Authority Project in Europe.

Global Trust will house its hardware service platform within Redbus Interhouse’s data centre in Milan, where all European Users of the Identity Guard Service will also be hosted, and will use the company’s dedicated managed IP bandwidth.

GlobalTrust’s mission is to make IdentityGuard an industry standard for second level password systems and thereby increase security through strong authentication, provide data protection and help in preventing identity theft.

However, GlobalTrust realised that the combination of significant installation and deployment costs and complex integration would be too great a barrier to entry for the majority of SMEs, and decided that the way forward was to offer IdentityGuard as a more affordable hosted service.

“In order to ensure that our project as the first IdentityGuard Secure Provider Authority in Europe achieves a successful conclusion, it was crucial that we found an infrastructure provider of the highest calibre with proven experience of working with security providers. Redbus Interhouse was able to tick all the boxes and being colocation specialists with mirrored sites across Europe made them the obvious choice,” comments Massimo Penco, President and CEO, GlobalTrust.”

Luca Beltramino, Country Manager, Redbus Interhouse (Italy) SpA, says: “Redbus Interhouse Italy is proud to announce its partnership with Global Trust. In the last few months Redbus Interhouse Italy has taken important steps to ensure that its customers have the opportunity to access a range of affordable value-added service solutions."
