Tata Communications partners Google Cloud to drive Cloud transformation in India

Tata Communications on Tuesday said it has entered into a partnership with American giant Google Cloud to drive cloud adoption in the country.

The partnership between the two companies will enable organisations to deploy and access Google Cloud services through Tata Communications’ IZO Managed Cloud platform.

“As organisations migrate to Google Cloud, they need a partner that will support them across their entire IT ecosystem and deliver a unified cloud management platform that offers greater transparency, control and security of their data and applications,” said Rajesh Awasthi, Global Head of Cloud and Managed Hosting Services at Tata Communications.

As a Google Cloud India partner, Tata Communications said it will offer services across infrastructure modernisation, data centre transformation, multi-cloud deployments amongst others, to organizations.

“The true test of 2021 will be how organizations adopt a cloud-first approach. Through our partnership with Tata Communications, we will be able to provide our customers with a unified, end-to-end experience that will remove the complexity in cloud management and help them transform at speed and scale”, said Amitabh Jacob, Head of Partners and Alliances at Google Cloud India

Tata Communications’ IZO Managed Cloud platform provides a comprehensive view of IT resource utilisation (across on-premise, private, Google Cloud), to drive cost efficiencies and productivity for customers.

According to an IDC survey, more than 60 per cent of Indian organisations plan to leverage cloud platforms for digital innovation, as they re-strategise their IT spending plans.

The homegrown firm’s cloud capabilities are underpinned by 14 cloud nodes along with its tier-1 network. The company also has partnerships with leading ISPs and major cloud providers.
