Through a single window, enterprises get an improved user experience while accessing their data, applications and content. It eases IT operations so enterprise can manage multiple cloud services with the ability to add more services on the go, providing visibility and management of cloud traffic.

“Our IZO Multi Cloud Connect brings fast, seamless and intelligent connectivity for next-gen global enterprises helping them rapidly transform for a hyperconnected world,” said Hon Kit Lam, vice president at Tata Communications. “With our digital fabric, we stitch IZO Multi Cloud Connect into the existing digital architecture of the enterprise improving processes and bringing operational efficiencies. We are empowering our customers with greater agility to connect their users, branches, data centres, applications, cloud and partners globally. A multi-cloud environment is a reality for enterprises today with mission critical applications moving to the cloud.”

Built on Tata’s global network, IZO Multi Cloud Connect is said to remove complexities and challenges associated with managing virtual connections and virtual network functions cost-effectively with end-to-end service assurance.

“We have been partnering with Tata Communications, using their IZO Hybrid WAN to connect our sites to data centres,” said Oscar Martínez, IT senior network architect at Clariant SE. “On moving 200-plus applications from on-premises to the cloud, we needed to connect our distributed cloud data centres over the internet, with performance like MPLS VPN. IZO Multi Cloud Connect with virtual router capability provided predictable internet connections from our 100-plus sites to business-critical applications in the cloud. Tata has enabled our smooth transition to an internet-only network for our cloud transformation.”

Brian Washburn, research director at Omdia, added: “It’s not an understatement that everything is moving to the cloud. IZO Multi Cloud Connect mixes versatile connectivity options, fast and flexible capacity, ease of ordering and configuration, plus optional virtual network functions. It effectively serves site-to-cloud, data centre-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud use cases. Enterprises may find the combination of IZO Multi Cloud Connect with IZO Internet WAN especially compelling as an option to migrate private networks to the internet with end-to-end, SLA-backed performance guarantees.”

With IZO Multi Cloud Connect, enterprises can access different applications from different clouds seamlessly and experience continuous connectivity with better performance.
