Nouveaux services cloud: Colt put on the scurit to convince

Business – the oprator put much on this new offer which aims at the time SME and the large accounts. Discussion with Batrice Rollet, marketing director of division Managed Services at Colt.

More known in so much qu `oprator of rseau voice-dated high efficiency for the companies and service provider manags, Colt S `is lanc this T in the adventure of the cloud computing through a division ddie: Colt Managed Services (CMS).

This segment of march has indeed the wheel in motion (port in particular by the crisis) and undertaken it N `does not intend to miss to it stage coach with its offer baptizes Enterprise Cloud. It east constitutes D `one fuses three tages but this day, only first D `has T to between-them plac in orbit. It S `acts of Colt Managed Workspace which proposes a accs distance from the bureaucratic applications and
mtiers Microsoft (Office, Sharepoint, Visio, Project,
Messaging).

For as much, competition on this ground is dj trs hard. How the British count does diffrencier? “; Us minks the small time the large ones and the entreprises”; , explains us Batrice Rollet, marketing director of division Managed Services at Colt.

“; Indeed, all seek aujourd `today flexibilit and continuit of service, Mrs. in SME which N `do not identify the universe cloud forcment. But we make to measure, not fits pied”; .

Breakdown

And obviously, SME seems in the center of the priorits of Colt (like much D `other oprateurs D `elsewhere): “; 75% of SME identify hbergement the distance as a solution of continuit and of performance, especially lorsqu `they do not possdent in-house comptences to ensure this continuit”; , it adds responsible.

But Colt put especially on its rputation of solidit to make the diffrence. Whereas certain services hbergs as those of Google have multipli the breakdowns, the British proposes his rseau highly scuris and redond which in particular convinced of the banks and the trader sites.

“; The applications must function 100% of time, the externalisation rpond this problmatique. Still one needs qu `it is scurise. C `is a major stake because give them are critical. Our rseau highly scuris (standard ISO, 25.000 fibre kilomtres, 18 datacenters in Europe) is our chart of visite”; affirm Batrice Rollet.

Mrs. tonalit on behalf of Maggy Mac Clelland, Directrice of activit CMS of Colt that ZDNet. Fr has interrog. “; We matrisons all the processes: we possdons the rseau, the datacenter, C `is a solid foundation trs and indpendante. Our competitors cannot say autant” of it; .

Reste that Colt, malgr its efforts, N `is not the shelter of the breakdowns. one of its datacenter europens knew a major incident causing the cut of many services IP. Of what corner an brand image built on annes and to call into question this speech? …

For as much, this breakdown is a premire. “; To say that the solutions are sres 100% is a mensonge”; , tempre it responsible. And of prciser qu `are it is necessary D `access to raise the good questions (Which the hberger applications? It is necessary to know qu `they have a whole a level of scurit diffrent. Which are the needs?) so D `viter D `tre will confront problmes of scurit.

For Colt, the cloud in particular and the services manags in gnral are stratgic. “; They increase by 30% per annum “; , the oprator affirms. Next slaps: Colt Cloud Infrastructure Services which will provide services of storage and …
