RCOM launches Cloud Xchange (Cloud X) nodes in five cities across India
New Delhi, India, July 21, 2015: Reliance Communications announced the deployment of Cloud Xchange (Cloud X) nodes in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
“We will achieve full deployment of our Next-Generation content and Cloud Delivery Network by the end of this year, with–what is a first in India–five fully-operational Cloud Xchange points,” said Reliance Group Chairman Anil Dhirubhai Ambani at the Digital India launch on July 1, 2015. “These Cloud Xchange nodes can help government departments access 240 times the amount of compute power currently available in Government data centers, and over six times the high-speed storage currently available in India.”
Over the past year, one key endeavor of RCOM, and its subsidiary Global Cloud Xchange, has been a strategic realignment of its capabilities to support cloud networking requirements, including self- provisioning of network resources and bandwidth-on-demand. The Company’s unique strength in Cloud orchestration stems from its unrivalled national and global network reach, which enable customers to have seamless access to the rapidly-growing public Cloud ecosystem in India, and around the globe.
“Cloud X is changing the paradigm of Cloud Computing,” said Bill Barney, Chief Executive Officer, Reliance Communications (Enterprise) and Global Cloud Xchange. “The network must now undergo a profound transformation, from a static entity to a dynamic, intelligent, application- aware fabric that can support multiple traffic requirements, diverse geographies and flexible pricing models.”
Cloud X is uniquely designed to deliver not only infrastructure provisioning in a few clicks, but the deployment of complex multi-tiered enterprise applications directly on to enterprise networks in minutes, rather than months. The Cloud X platform supports network transparency and Cloud orchestration–key elements in accelerating enterprise applications to the Cloud.
The Reliance Group today is India’s largest provider of data center facilities, with a total capacity of over 600,000 square feet spread across the country. Its 11 data centers, connected by India’s largest terrestrial fiber network and the world’s largest submarine sub-sea cable infrastructure, already constitute a vital core of India’s digital backbone and a mission-critical component in the digital transformation of India.
