Mr. Shivajee R Sharma, President & CIO, IIHT Cloud Solutions Pvt. Ltd. “When we decided to pioneer an Infrastructure-as-a-Service Cloud, servicing the Training, Test and Development segment, our value proposition was very clear 'Own Virtual Data Centers and not just Virtual Machines'. As an architect my challenge was to build a cloud platform which gives an experience as close to a real Data Center infrastructure and is highly capable of supporting real-time experiential cloud service which is accessible anywhere, anytime and on any device instantly on demand. The Dell Blade solutions enabled us to build the scale and density required for the cloud and Dell Force10 z9000 network switches allowed us to build a highly scalable 320 Gbps throughput IP SAN to support the instant provisioning. With Dell’s customer engagement skills and expertise in providing enterprise solutions, they clearly emerged as our choice for being the end-to-end solutions provider.”
Adding to this, Mr. Suresh Reddy, General Manager, Global Commercial Channel, Dell India “We are extremely delighted with this deal for two reasons – one, it is one of the largest cloud deals in the country and showcases our growing strength in the enterprise solutions business and second, it is a vision of our preferred partner Nestor whom we are supporting with Dell technology. With product enhancements, innovations and acquisitions, we have gradually strengthened our solutions portfolio and the results are beginning to show.”
Commenting on the consortium, Mr. Shivajee R Sharma, further said “While selecting the consortium partner with Data Center co-location services to host our cloud solution, we were looking for partner with very deep expertise and experience of cloud platform and ESDS with its indigenously developed cloud fabric for its web hosting services clearly emerged as the best Data Center co-location service provider for us. Nestor a core member of the consortium, with its expertise in handling the end-to-end deliveries and it's deep relations with IT OEM's worked with us on this project from the beginning as our preferred solution partner.”
