Orange Business Services today announced the expansion of
Flexible Computing, an Infrastructure as a Service offer. With 500
customers already operating from its European platform, Flexible
Computing is now available from cloud-ready data centers in North
America and Asia. Flexible Computing meets the growing demand from
multinational corporations (MNCs) for networked cloud
infrastructure services from a single communications and IT
services provider.
Orange Business Services integrates Flexible Computing with its
global network to deliver a secure end-to-end service for moving
business applications to the cloud. Working with a single provider
removes complexity and guarantees performance and availability
through stringent business-centric SLAs. Additional benefits
include:
- rapid scalability and
flexibility: Flexible Computing offers a scalable and modular
service for fast and easy provisioning of resources that can scale
up and down to meet fluctuating demand and dynamic business
growth.
- self-managed or fully-managed
service: MNCs can choose either self-managed
Infrastructure-as-a-Service accessed through a secure easy-to-use
self-service portal, or a fully-managed service, allowing MNCs to
further optimize internal IT resources to focus on strategic
projects and application delivery.
- usage-based pricing: Through
usage-based invoicing, customers can predict and monitor both their
IT resources and service consumption. Paying only for the resources
and services they use helps companies better align IT costs with
business activities.
An early international customer of the Flexible Computing
service is China’s Tiens Group, a multinational corporation in
capital management across a number of industries, including
biotechnology, health, hotels and e-commerce. Orange Business
Services is supplying virtual computing resources for Tiens
business units around the world. With Flexible Computing, Tiens can
rapidly scale up or scale down according to demand. This is driving
down costs and helping Tiens establish itself more quickly in new
markets.
“Orange Business Services created a global IT infrastructure in
the cloud to match our international business on the ground,” said
Bai Ping, President of Tiens Group. “We have become a
more agile organization as we continue to grow globally,
and that is all due to the depth and scope of the Flexible
Computing service provided.”
“The international expansion of Flexible Computing, coupled with
Orange’s seamless cloud-ready network, offers the reach,
flexibility and unmatched coverage that our customers are looking
for,” said Thierry Bonhomme, CEO, Orange Business Services. “The
on-demand IT resources and infrastructure enables them to seize new
markets and opportunities, as well as accelerate time-to-market for
new products and services.”
Cloud computing is one of the strategic pillars of the Orange
Business Services “Conquests 2015” plan, targeting 500 million
euros in cloud computing revenues in 2015. After a 33 percent
increase in 2012 cloud computing revenue, Orange Business Services
is on track to meet its objective.
