OpSource Cloud Included with NTT America's Enterprise ServicesNov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- NTT America, a U.S. subsidiary of NTT Communications Corp. (NTT Com), and OpSource announced their intention to accelerate the adoption of enterprise cloud computing by powering OpSource Cloud through NTT America's secure data centers and Tier-1 global IP network. By combining the collaborative strength of OpSource Cloud with NTT America's enterprise services, companies, can deploy a cloud solution via secure data centers and scalable networks, according to a release. "Economic value is the driving force to create disciplines needed to properly move IT resources and applications into the cloud, however, initiatives are unlikely to get funded if they fail to meet enterprise expectations for the security, performance and control that they've come to expect from traditional methods," said Agatha Poon, senior analyst at Yankee Group. "The reliability and performance of IP networks plays a critical role in maximizing the value of cloud computing because IP networks connect users to the cloud, delivering dynamic, on-demand services and applications to a diverse set of users. Thus, the reliability and security of the network will become more critical than ever." OpSource said OpSource Cloud is designed to allow IT departments to manage their security as they would within their internal IT infrastructure. "Our portfolio of infrastructure assets gives us the opportunity to provide the most flexible allocation of those assets for our customers," said Kazuhiro Gomi, Chief Operating Officer of NTT America. "The combination of OpSource Cloud and NTT America's global IP network and data centers removes barriers that are keeping enterprises from adopting cloud computing, giving them a solution that is not only reliable and secure but scalable." "Offering OpSource Cloud on NTT America's infrastructure lets us bring our customers a tried-and-true network already being used by some of the largest Internet companies in the world," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "NTT America's market-leading position helps reassure enterprises that their data is in the best hands possible and, working together, we will help these companies usher in the new era of enterprise cloud computing."
