Hutchison Global Communications Limited (HGC), the fixed- line operating arm of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited, and PT Centrin Online Prima (Centrin Online), an Indonesian Internet service provider (ISP), have launched ibizCloud in Jakarta, Indonesia. This will provide a one-stop global cloud service that meets the infrastructure and speed requirements of local and international enterprises.
ibizCloud has been tailored to the Indonesian market. HGC provides cloud technologies and service design, as well as international connectivity, and holds a wealth of experience in designing cloud services to suit niche markets.
Correspondingly, Centrin Online provides local connectivity and will now be able to offer cloud service instantly without having to go through a product development process. This helps the company meet increasing demand for data exchanges from corporations operating in Indonesia.
Capacious data storage
Offered as a total solution, ibizCloud enables the Indonesian business community to access reliable cloud storage without having to make hefty upfront investment in infrastructure. In fact, ibizCloud makes managing and carrying huge volumes of data much easier. The service helps enterprises keep pace with the big data trend by granting access to a cloud environment via Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Bandwidth-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Dedicated Bandwidth-as-a-Service (DBaaS).
Customer organisations can also choose to use on-demand Virtual Leased Line (ODVLL), which facilitates end-to- end data transmission over a secure network. ibizCloud comes complete with virtualised infrastructure such as virtual machines, CPU cores, RAM and storage. All this enables corporations to access the Internet without restrictions on data volumes.
Resource pool arrangement
Andrew Kwok, President of International and Carrier Business at Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited, said: “Making ibizCloud available in Jakarta represents a great start to 2017 for HGC. The new cloud site strengthens ibizCloud’s market position in Asia, following launch of the service in Hanoi last December. HGC works tirelessly to enhance ibizCloud features in order to meet ever-rising demand from multinationals. One of the value-added features to look out for in early 2017 will be a resource pool arrangement by which customers can allocate additional resource promptly, without having to go through a subscription process.”
Centrin Online CEO Ismail Hirawan said: “We are proud of this collaboration between Centrin Online and HGC to extend ibizCloud into Indonesia. The move offers attractive opportunities to provide fast, reliable and secure world-class cloud service. ibizCloud is tailored to the ISP market, in which we have more than 25 years’ experience.”
