VSNL Offers Managed Storage

SINGAPORE -- VSNL, a leading communications solutions provider, announced today the launch of its global Managed Hosting and Storage services for enterprises seeking to enhance efficiencies, reduce ownership costs, improve service quality and ensure business continuity in their IT infrastructure environments. These fully managed services offer streamlined, scalable and highly secure management of IT infrastructure, network and storage initially in three globally diverse, world class data centers in New York, Singapore and London. Each center is located directly on VSNL's high performance, high capacity, and high reliability global communications backbone.

VSNL's Managed Hosting Solution offers enterprises the ability to outsource systems and applications to a VSNL global data center, optimizing resources, reducing costs, and guaranteeing the availability and security of data. It combines Data Center facilities, VSNL's global network, LAN infrastructure, security and server systems in a fully managed, bundled solution, backed by a 24x7 Managed Services Operations Center with the highest levels of technical expertise. The service supports a complete suite of operating systems environments including Windows, Solaris, and Linux.

VSNL's Managed Storage Solution offers a subscription-based utility model, enabling enterprises to cost effectively and reliably store mission critical data with the benefits of a redundant, state of the art Fiber Channel Storage Area Network (SAN), and protection against technology upgrades. VSNL's advanced storage service provides capacity on demand, allowing customers to buy storage on an as needed basis to ensure predictable operational costs and accommodate for variable capacity demands. This model significantly reduces costs versus dedicated external storage options and eliminates the upfront investments involved in creating a dedicated private SAN.

"Our global customers can use VSNL's best-of-breed Managed Hosting & Storage solution to safely outtask services and to reduce IT management complexity," said Vinod Kumar, President, Global Data Solutions, VSNL. "This cost effective, highly resilient managed IT infrastructure service is powered by VSNL's globally consistent and centralized management platform, technical expertise and industry best practices. The combination of our IT infrastructure solutions with our global network capabilities enables customers with a complete end-to-end solution."
