EMC Thailand has announced Internet Thailand Plc (Inet) as its first cloud service provider (CSP) partner in the country, offering cloud computing services and delivery models.
Through the collaboration, Inet will support customers who seek to deploy infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). With PaaS, Inet will be the first service provider in the country to provide companies with greater insights through big data analytics-as-a-service.
The collaboration supports Dell EMC’s belief that a hybrid cloud or multi-cloud approach is the best end-state for most companies, providing flexibility for additional resources as needed or use of owned systems for mission-critical operations.
According to the Dell Technologies Digital Transformation Index, 63% of Thai businesses intend to invest in multi-cloud environments within the next three years in order to power their business transformation.
“As organisations continue to digitally transform and increase cloud adoption, we recognise a growing number of customers will see a multi-cloud approach to be the new norm,” said Anothai Wettayakorn, vice-president of Dell EMC Indochina. “More and more customers are looking to move beyond just traditional hosted and managed cloud services to a mix of IaaS and dedicated private clouds within their environments.”
Morragot Kulatumyotin, managing director of Inet, agreed.
“Our aim is to help businesses effectively reduce the time spent on IT operations, providing them with the most cost-effective solutions they need to power their business,” Mrs Morragot said. “With the Inet Dell Cloud service, we provide a complete ready-to-use big data service on a public cloud that will enable organisations to reduce up to 50% of their time in deploying a big data system, all at a reasonable cost.”
IDC forecasts revenue for big data and business analytics solutions in Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) to reach US$22.2 billion (732 billion baht) by 2021, registering a compound annual growth rate of 14.4% from 2016 to 2021.
