India's Tata Communications has launched three new nodes for its IZO Private Cloud service designed to support enterprises’ hybrid cloud adoption while ensuring regulatory compliance.
The new private cloud nodes in Germany, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Malaysia aim to enable CIOs to gain more control over all their applications by creating a hybrid, high-performance IT infrastructure where different cloud, colocation and managed hosting environments work together.
Today, different clouds often operate in silos, resulting in a complex environment which can hold back enterprises’ digital transformation. The fully-managed IZO Private Cloud service seeks to address this complexity by enabling CIOs to create a hybrid IT environment that combines the flexibility of public cloud with enterprise-grade security.
It also gives CIOs complete control of the residency of their data, while keeping up with employees’ demands for mobile, collaborative and social ways of working.
IZO Private Cloud now spans across 13 locations. In addition to Germany, UAE and Malaysia, Tata Communications has private cloud nodes in India, Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK.
The new private cloud nodes address the needs of enterprises in industries with stringent regulatory requirements, including aviation, healthcare, manufacturing, media, banking, IT, financial services and insurance, retail and e-commerce.
“In today’s digital economy, enterprises’ growth is fuelled by cloud-based applications and data,” Tata Communications SVP of global product management and data center services Srinivasan CR said.
“Yet, the sovereignty and security of these critical assets is a major concern for CIOs. As a global cloud provider with a local presence, we address these concerns by giving CIOs complete visibility and control over their entire IT estate, across all networks and devices, and empower them to drive organisation-wide digital transformation with maximum agility.”
