Netmagic launches cloud computing in India

Mumbai: Netmagic Solutions announced the availability of its cloud computing services for enterprises, including existing and potential customers. With this announcement, Netmagic claims that now it has become the first managed IT services company in India to launch cloud computing services.

According to IDC reports, cloud computing is reshaping the IT marketplace, creating new opportunities for suppliers and catalyzing changes in traditional IT offerings. In addition, over the next five years, IDC expects global spending on IT cloud services to grow almost threefold, reaching $42 billion by 2012.

“With our cloud computing services, we will be able to provide our customers an additional value offering that will optimize needs and maximize the operation of their IT infrastructure. We are very excited about our new initiative along with having the first mover advantage,” said Sharad Sanghi, CEO and MD, Netmagic Solutions. “Today's announcement also signifies a big step in our commitment to businesses in India and our expansion plans,” he added.

As part of the cloud computing services vision, Netmagic is offering three services namely-CloudNet, CloudServe and PrivateCloud. The move is designed to address key challenges of IT departments allowing them to maintain availability of applications without having to invest double the amount of capital expenditure in hardware and software. It will also provide companies with the benefit of scaling and reducing compute resources as per business demands without having to worry about hardware management issues. Finally, through these services, IT departments will be able to contribute to the green initiative by subscribing to a service rather than having to underutilize in-house resources.

These services are vertical agnostic and can be deployed for varied applications and OS platforms.

Elucidating on the vast benefits of such services especially during the downturn, Sharad Sanghi, CEO and MD, Netmagic Solutions revealed that these services will enable companies to save capital by subscribing to IT infrastructure as a service. In addition to this, the new offering will help by optimizing resource utilization and saving on power and space costs for IT infrastructure. According to Sanghi, customers will be able to cut costs by at least 20-25 percent through these services.
