Telstra today announced new cloud infrastructure services in the United States (US), expanding on its offering already available in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia and strengthening its global virtual private cloud solution for multinational customers. <\/p>\n
Martin Bishop, Telstra Global Head of Network Applications and Services, said the US extension, which will be located on the East Coast, was an important milestone in Telstra\u2019s on-going strategy to provide cloud infrastructure services to support business growth initiatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new US node brings our total cloud presence up to seven distinct locations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific and will enable customers operating across multiple geographic locations, including the US, to quickly and efficiently realise the benefits of enterprise cloud services on their global operations,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to IT projects, we are finding that customers are increasingly opting for cloud-based services and with this expansion we are even better equipped to serve organisations with operations in the US \u2013 be it their long-term head-quarters or a new market they are expanding into. <\/p>\n
\u201cOn top of this, Telstra Cloud Infrastructure customers can rest assured that their applications are delivered over one of the world\u2019s most extensive telecommunications networks that extends access to over 1,900 Points-of-Presence (PoPs). <\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, the network underpinning our cloud helps to meet the unique needs of our customers by adapting according to the specific profile of their applications and workloads to deliver their end-users an exceptional experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Martin, the expanded cloud capacity means customers can enjoy the same user experience, no matter where their operations are located around the world. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur cloud infrastructure is a globally consistent platform that customers can depend on, regardless of the location of their offices or data. We have a consistent approach to technology, service and application performance which means our customers can seamlessly deploy applications and deliver business processes across multiple geographic locations.\u201d <\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Telstra also announced that it would be the first globally to launch Cisco Cloud Services based on Cisco\u2019s InterCloud platform in Australia by the end of 2014, offering customers greater flexibility and choice to select the service that best suits their application needs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
