NEW DELHI, INDIA: British Telecom (BT), a telecommunication service provider, today revealed that it would be launching its new Virtual Data Centre (VDC) service in the coming months, aimed at helping large business and public sector organizations succeed in the current economy and prepare for the future.

It provides a dynamic and virtualized infrastructure platform that enables them to consume their IT and networking infrastructure as a service and forms the base for future cloud services, said a press release.

The BT VDC, showcased by BT today at the Handelsblatt Telecommunications Market Europe conference in Dusseldorf, Germany, marks the first of several networked IT product and service innovations and updates to be announced by BT Global Services this year.

The investment is focused on supporting portfolio innovations in voice/unified communications, network services, security, mobility, data centres and contact centres infrastructure, said the release.

BT Virtual Data Centre service would uniquely in the market, be rolled-out across datacentres in multiple countries in EMEA and this would enable the company to provide true enterprise class services.

It also offers servers, storage, networks and security that is orchestrated and automatically provisioned through its online portal. Customers could change the infrastructure easily in real-time throughout the duration of the contract through the portal.

"Any Infrastructure as a Service offering that can provide a platform where organizations can scale their computing, network, and storage requirements in real time, according to their needs, would have obvious appeal," said Roy Illsley, senior research analyst at research company Butler Group.

Hanif Lalani, chief executive of BT Global Services, said, "In today's turbulent, global economy companies need flexible, efficient, and secure networked IT services to sharpen their competitive edge, innovate how they do business and get to market first."

He added that the launch of BT VDC services is just one example of innovation in of our Global Services product portfolio, illustrating that BT continues to invest in and innovate our capabilities to ensure customers have the right services to run their business in 2009. BT VDC would deliver a new and enhanced customer experience.
