Bibbiena (AR - ITALY), 26th June 2012 – Aruba S.p.A. (www.aruba.it) will be the only European
company to compete for the assignment of the .cloud TLD, together with other six applicants
among which Amazon, Google and Symantec, as indicated in the list of requested new TLDs

like Amazon and Google confirms the ever more strategic importance of cloud services today and
in the future defining more and more the web strategy of companies wanting to develop their
exposure online.
Cloud computing is becoming one of the major technological trends also in this country.

becoming an authority for all the companies that wish to develop their services through cloud
computing.

manage cloud servers completely independently by setting up the infrastructure that most suits
the user’s needs, from a single machine to more complex structures.
“We deeply believe in our Cloud offer”, states Stefano Cecconi, CEO of Aruba S.p.A. “Just four
months from the launch we have received plenty of positive feedback from customers who have
chosen the Aruba Cloud Computing which confirms the fact that our idea of Cloud is the solution to
the demands of the market. This is why we decided to send our application to ICANN for the .cloud
domain, even though we knew we would be coming up against big international competitors. In
the meantime we are working on new Cloud services we will be adding to the offer, part of an
investment plan covering the years 2012-13”, Cecconi went on to say.
The required verification process of the applications will begin during the month of July and for
2013 the awarded companies will have right to start using the new TLDs.
