NTT Com says enterprises are struggling with the complex requirements of digital transformation, the application of digital technology across multiple aspects of their business. First, they're seeking to migrate traditional ICT (CRM, ERP, SCM, etc.) to the cloud to achieve more effective ICT operations and cost optimization. Second, tectonic shifts in business driven by mobile, social, big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and other digital technologies is driving them to deploy cloud-native applications and shift toward a DevOps culture.
The enhanced Enterprise Cloud is intended to support both those efforts as a comprehensive platform for both traditional and cloud-native ICT, along with support for network connectivity, colocation service and third-party cloud.
"As enterprise business move towards digitalization, globalization and cloud, NTT Com will continue to help customers innovate business processes and create new business models with Enterprise Cloud, which has been enhanced to meet both requirements of secure and reliable ICT and flexible and agile ICT," Motoo Tanaka, senior vice president of Cloud Services at NTT Com, said in a statement Tuesday.
Enterprise Cloud's new capabilities include the following:
The enhanced Enterprise Cloud is available immediately in Japan, with planned roll outs in the U.K, Singapore, U.S., Australia, Hong Kong and Germany this year. NTT Com says it will continue to enhance Enterprise Cloud, with plans for SAP HANA, virtual private PaaS and enhancements to cloud management capabilities.
