CLOUD infrastructure and enterprise IT solutions provider, Savvis, continues its foray across Asia, with two launches in the region — one each in Japan and Hong Kong.

The company has rolled out its Savvis Symphony Open public cloud and Symphony Dedicated private cloud in Japan, and its private cloud solution and managed services provision in Hong Kong, in a bid to meet the growing demand for such services in the region.

Said Mark Smith, Savvis’ managing director for Asia: “Savvis’ proven, global cloud services enable organisations to become more agile and competitive in a number of ways, including decreased time-to-market, the ability to rapidly respond to market opportunities and allowing for a flexible transition from legacy IT deployment to cloud.”

According to the company, the cloud services can be deployed individually or via a hybrid solution that is available through Savvis data centres globally, and is designed to meet a broad range of computing needs, while ensuring agility, scalability and security for businesses.

“Hong Kong often serves as a gateway for global clients seeking to extend their presence into Asia. We are excited to provide organisations in this region with enterprise-ready cloud and managed services solutions,” Smith continued.

Pet insurance company Anicom Holdings Inc in Japan, and IT and product engineering services group MindTree Limited in Hong Kong have selected Savvis’ solutions following the launch.
