Infosys Cloud Ecosystem Hub Unveiled: First Unified Enterprise Gateway to a Hybrid Cloud Environment
BANGALORE, India, LONDON and NEW YORK, August 7, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Infosys, a global leader in consulting and technology, today launched the Infosys
Cloud Ecosystem Hub. This comprehensive solution enables enterprises to create, adopt and
govern Cloud services across the ecosystem. Businesses can now accelerate time-to-market
of Cloud services by up to 40 percent, improve productivity by up to 20 percent and
achieve cost-savings of up to 30 percent.
The Infosys Cloud Ecosystem Hub enables rapid adoption of Cloud services. The unified
self-service catalog feature enables enterprises to quickly subscribe to relevant
information technology (IT) and business services across multiple environments. The
solution can dynamically provision IT infrastructure and platforms on a hybrid cloud
environment in minutes.
According to Daryl C. Plummer, Group Vice President and Chief Gartner Fellow: "As
hybrid Cloud ecosystems are a reality today, there is a need for enterprises to work with
Cloud services brokers for smartly assessing and brokering Cloud services. To truly unlock
the challenges of managing a fragmented IT environment, it would be critical for
enterprises to embrace Cloud services brokerages."
The smart brokerage feature of the Infosys Cloud Ecosystem Hub provides an
enterprise-wide decision support mechanism to select, compare and deploy Cloud services
from across providers. Decisions can be based on evaluation of over 20 parameters such as
quality of service, technology compatibility, regulatory compliance needs and total cost
of ownership of application workloads. The Hub provides a single-window view of the
enterprise Cloud ecosystem and brings cohesion into an otherwise fragmented IT environment
- across private and public Cloud with on-premise IT. The solution enables easy monitoring
of Cloud resource usage and optimizes utilization. It provides consolidated metering and
billing thereby enabling service charge-backs.
Said Vishnu Bhat, Vice-President and Global Head - Cloud, Infosys: "Our clients are
dealing with complexities of a fragmented Cloud environment. The Infosys Cloud Ecosystem
Hub provides organizations a unified gateway to build, manage and govern their hybrid
cloud ecosystem. This solution allows clients to fully realize the benefits from the
long-standing promise of the Cloud."
Infosys collaborates with over 30 of the world's leading providers of Cloud
infrastructure, applications and platforms including Amazon Web Services, CA Technologies,
Dell, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, IBM, Microsoft and VMware among others. As a Cloud
ecosystem integrator, Infosys brings industry leading Cloud capabilities while providing
the convenience of single-point accountability.
