Orange Business Services, says it will launch a dozen new cloud computing services in the coming 24 months, covering six main areas including real-time applications, collaboration, security, infrastructure, cloud-ready networking and vertical solutions for specific industries.
Orange says its cloud computing solutions include a full range of services, from infrastructure to real-time business applications, supported by the company’s cloud-ready network, ensuring rapid scalability with full security and end-to-end service level agreements. Orange’s full lifecycle approach allows it to provide customers with step-by-step guidance during their transition to cloud-based services, accommodating hybrid models, which are the most suitable for many enterprises.
While Internet-class cloud computing brings cost reduction and scalability, it delivers very little visibility on security and can generate performance issues. Orange says it can deliver and manage all business-critical applications and IT infrastructure as a service, with a one-stop-shop approach. The complete, end-to-end solutions provide customers with usage-based pricing and self-service through a user-friendly portal.
Orange’s cloud experience includes what the company calls a strong existing portfolio and 150 cloud computing specialists. In addition to managing 12,000 servers for enterprise customers, Orange says it can design, build and operate private clouds for large multinational companies.
“Operating cloud computing services is in our DNA,” said Barbara Dalibard, president and CEO, Orange Business Services. “The network is the cloud, and our experience and expertise in network and communications services place us in the best position to deliver high performance cloud computing services to support our customers’ transformation. We are committed to leveraging our global capabilities to deliver secure and flexible cloud computing services to our customers.”
