The services complement those already available in the company’s Australian data centres, and are expected to enable Telstra to deliver globally connected Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions.
“The extension of Telstra’s cloud infrastructure offering represents an on-going commitment to innovation and has been designed to provide customers with an exceptional experience by combining the flexibility of cloud computing along with the resilience of a world-class global network,” said Martijn Blanken, president and MD of Telstra Global.
Multi-national enterprise customers are expected to benefit from the ability to deploy applications consistently, deliver business processes and deploy offshore disaster recovery solutions worldwide, all under a unified service management unit.
“Our service is designed with customer experience at its core and provides optional disaster recovery and off-site back-up capabilities to combat security concerns,” Blanken said.
“We also provide a single service-level agreement across hosting infrastructure and network connectivity to help ensure optimal performance of customer applications within the data centre and assist in securing transmission of data across the wide-area network (WAN).”
The announcement today forms part of the company’s AU$800 million investment in cloud computing which Telstra revealed in 2011.
