Getting cloud offering for enterprise customers
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 8, 2013 at 3:17 pmNEC India Pvt.
Ltd has entered into a strategic alliance with Vaultize, an enterprise cloud backup and
sharing solution provider, to jointly go to market with Vaultize’s enterprise
cloud backup, sharing and mobility platform through NEC’s cloud aggregator
platform.
This will enable both companies to further penetrate the market and offer a
bouquet of services to enterprises. NEC has built a global carrier grade Cloud
Aggregation Platform to enable telcos and service providers offer cloud
services to SMBs.
As collaboration needs increase, these enterprises are looking for ways to
share files more easily, and also store files safely on the cloud, thus
having access to those files, anytime anywhere.
Vaultize’s file sharing and backup cloud service will integrate into this
aggregation platform, thus providing enterprise users with an added service.
NEC has had success with its cloud strategy worldwide. Cloud is a global initiative for NEC, and India is one of
the focus countries for NEC’s cloud business. The company is positioned in
the market as a holistic cloud services provider and offering cloud solutions
and services that contribute not only to the field of IT and networks but also societal,
individual and corporate activities.
Commenting on the alliance, Angira Agrawal,
associate VP, cloud business, NEC India said: "NEC has built a world class Cloud Aggregation Platform, now deployed at
over 25 service providers across 14 countries. We are happy to partner with
Vaultize and broaden our cloud offering for the enterprise customers. Companies
are now empowered with a broad range of choices, and are able to rapidly choose
the best options that meet their business needs. With this alliance, we hope to
grow our customer base and empower them with greater choices."
Commenting on the occasion, Anand Kekre,
CEO and co-founder, Vaultize said: "We
are pleased to announce this partnership with NEC. Availability of Vaultize on
NEC’s Cloud Aggregation Platform will give us a good opportunity to serve a
wider customer base. Built from the ground up with enterprise level security
and control, Vaultize is poised to capitalize on the multi-billion dollar
market at the intersection of cloud computing, mobility and consumerization of
IT. And, this partnership will be a key driver."
Vaultize’s at-source encryption together
with de-duplication helps enterprises adopt cloud based backup and file sharing
by eliminating concerns about security, data privacy and compliance. The
patent-pending technology secures data even before it leaves endpoints.
Cloud computing services have seen a growth in recent years across industries. To meet this
demand and changing market dynamics, NEC offers a host of cloud solutions and
has implemented its cloud computing solutions globally, including
carrier cloud solutions for Telefónica S.A. in Spain, and secured cloud solution for
the Ministry of Education in San Juan, Argentina.
