CIOs will have control over this cloud

SINGAPORE: Tata Communications has launched IZO, a private cloud service, which will bring control back to the hands of the CIOs.

CIOs will have a control over their public and private clouds and their entire data center, the company said in a prepared statement.

The new service, available in 12 locations worldwide, gives the CIO visibility and control through single-pane-of-glass management. It creates high-performance and open application environment that can keep pace with the technology innovation and employees’ demands for mobile, collaborative and social ways of working.

In an independent research commissioned by Tata Communications, 84 percent respondents recognized the critical role cloud plays in their organization. The report also demonstrated the need for enterprises to define their business requirements and adopt future-proof cloud computing solution for their data and applications needs – be it private, public or hybrid.

“As business requirements continue to grow in complexity, vendors’ ability to deliver an agile, cloud-driven approach to infrastructure and application management is a must,” said Agatha Poon, Research Manager, 451 Research. “Cloud deployments that give CIOs visibility and control across their data centre estates may help cloud providers wield their market power.

“Tata Communications’ Open Stack based cloud platform supports key enterprise features and facilitates control and manageability. Deepening integration with its existing colocation and managed hosting offerings makes sense as enterprises continue to operate in a hybrid IT environment,” she said.
