Orange Business Services this week has launched its suite of global public cloud services in Asia Pacific.
This consists of three pillars: the Flexible Engine public cloud platform (IaaS/PaaS platform jointly developed in partnership with Huawei), professional services to assist customers in their migration, and managed services to operate customer applications and legacy systems.
The suite will enable enterprises to digitally transform their business operations and support Asian businesses in their expansion plans across China, Southeast Asia and Europe, said Orange Business Services. It also supports European companies with their business development across Southeast Asia and China. Already available in Europe, the services will continue to be rolled out in the US in 2017 and in the Middle East and Africa in 2018.
Along with global network reach, data security and ITIL-based service management, Orange can now provide a true end-to-end multi-cloud, flexible IT-enabled infrastructure to its customers. The enhanced suite of public cloud services will facilitate enterprise digital transformation goals through five key ways:
It helps businesses deploy and optimize cloud applications and meet the compliance, governance and regulatory requirements of different markets. Easy cloud management is achieved through a unified cloud console and a global Orange service governance and service management framework. It also provides customers with best-of-cloud choices when used in a hybrid approach linking private and public cloud solutions.
In addition, it also leverages the robust global managed network, data center infrastructure and security services from Orange. Orange Cyberdefense, a dedicated Orange Business Services unit established in 2015, and its experts proactively manage and help organizations to secure their IT infrastructure and implement their cyberdefense strategy.

Businesses around the globe recognize that it is imperative for them to digitally transform in order to remain competitive. Cloud adoption continues to be one of their top technology focus for 2017 as they seek to digitally transform their infrastructure. However, this has become a significant challenge due to infrastructure constraints, security concerns and limits in scalability especially for multinational enterprises.
