Tata Communications expands IZO™ Private Cloud footprint in Middle East

New private cloud nodes in the United Arab Emirates enable enterprises to drive their digital transformation through hybrid cloud computing while ensuring regulatory compliance

Tata Communications, a provider of network, cloud and security services, has announced the launch of three new nodes for its IZO™ Private Cloud service to support enterprises’ hybrid cloud adoption while ensuring regulatory compliance.

The new private cloud nodes in the United Arab Emirates enable CIOs to gain unprecedented control over all their applications by creating a truly hybrid, high-performance IT infrastructure where different cloud, colocation and managed hosting environments work together as one.

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 addresses 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 the UAE, Tata Communications has private cloud nodes in India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, Malaysia 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 ecommerce.

Tata Communications’ IZO™ Private Cloud customers in the Middle East include Khimji Ramdas, an Oman-based conglomerate with operations across consumer products, infrastructure, lifestyle and logistics.

Srinivasan CR, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management and Data Centre Services at Tata Communications, said: “In today’s digital economy, enterprise growth is fuelled by cloud-based applications and data.

“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.”

The expansion of IZO™ Private Cloud in the Middle East strengthens Tata Communications’ ability to capitalise on the growth of the private cloud services market.

The IZO™ Private Cloud service is underpinned by Tata Communications’ global network, IZO™ ecosystem, and partnerships with world’s biggest clouds – Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Office 365 and Salesforce.

Today, over 25% of the world’s Internet routes travel over Tata Communications’ network and the company is the only Tier-1 provider that is in the top five by routes in five continents.
