Sify Technologies Limited (NASDAQ Global Markets: SIFY), a leader in Managed Enterprise, Network and ICT Services in India with growing global delivery capabilities, announced its entry into the HP Cloud Agile Partner Program.

As a CloudAgile partner, Sify will be able to broaden its customized enterprise class cloud services to meet their customer’s needs. Sify’s pay-per-use model for the Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) services will now find greater acceptance among the cost-sensitive and performance-focused customers.

HP’s converged Infrastructure is powered by the industry leading HP CloudSystem Matrix and allows Sify to reduce the total cost of ownership of customers by provisioning infrastructure and applications across physical and virtual environments with the least turnaround time.
Sify will also have access to HP’s network of channel partners, sales and marketing support to help drive uptake of its cloud solutions in India.

IDC reports that revenue from public IT cloud services exceeded $21.5 billion in 2010 and is expected to reach $72.9 billion in 2015, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.6%. This is over four times the projected growth for the worldwide IT market as a whole (6.7%). By 2015, one of every seven dollars spent on packaged software, server, and storage offerings will be through the public cloud model.
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Kamal Nath, CEO, Sify Technologies, said, “In the course of building critical volume in the Data center business, Sify had ensured that our Enterprise clients got the best of both worlds; Technology and Applications. This partnership further validates Sify’s cloud service and complexity of deployments as being on par with the best in the industry while providing ample proof of our increasing capabilities and multiple service lines in the cloud business”.
“Enterprises need IT to enable them to increase efficiency, improve agility and respond to changing customer business requirements quickly,” said Neelam Dhawan, Vice President & General Manager, Enterprise Group and Country Managing Director, HP India. “Sify solutions built on HP CloudSystem Matrix will allow enterprises to access infrastructure and applications faster on the cloud thereby giving them a competitive edge in the market.”
