The service is quick to provision, and ensures the security and integrity of data.
“Organizations around the world are harnessing the power of the cloud to empower their people to work as effectively and collaboratively as possible,” says Ross Ortega, Principal Product Manager, Networking, Microsoft Azure. “By offering Azure ExpressRoute for Office 365 through its IZO™ Private platform, Tata Communications is providing customers the enhanced security and reliability that come with a private connection, ultimately taking cloud-based communication and collaboration to the next level.” The IZO™ Private cloud enablement service is part of Tata Communications’ IZO™, a global network platform for enhanced hybrid cloud enablement. IZO™ is the most comprehensive enterprise WAN and cloud enablement platform available today that is uniquely engineered for predictable routing, together with enterprise private and public cloud connectivity and interconnected data centres – making it simple for a business to connect and build its cloud, their way – be it private, public or hybrid. Julie Woods-Moss, CMO and CEO of NextGen Business at Tata Communications, says, “Connecting businesses via ExpressRoute to Office 365 represents another milestone for our IZO™ cloud enablement platform. We’re excited to be working with Microsoft to build a global ecosystem that harnesses our extensive global network, and we’re committed to enabling more global businesses to drive their digital transformation through the cloud.” Tata Communications continues to grow its IZO™ platform ecosystem, currently consisting of over 20 network providers covering 42 countries and serving 85% of the world’s GDP, as well as five of the largest cloud platforms including Microsoft Azure, Office 365, Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and over 50 data centres across the globe.
