The move will deliver a one-stop global cloud computing service that includes infrastructure and bandwidth to meet the needs of multinational and local corporations. Availability of ibizCloud will simplify management of the transmission and storage of huge volumes of data.

HGC is responsible for cloud design along with instant and international network connectivity to establish ibizCloud in Vietnam, while CMC Telecom provides local connectivity and branding for ibizCloud. The service has been customised to suit the Vietnamese market and satisfy rising demands for data exchange from local corporations.

Launch of ibizCloud in Vietnam represents a win-win-win scenario for HGC, CMC Telecom and the Vietnamese business community. This is because HGC has strengthened its international cloud proposition by increasing the number of ibizCloud sites, while CMC is now able to offer a reliable global cloud service without having to go through a lengthy product development process. Meanwhile, businesses in Vietnam can now benefit from a cloud computing approach to data management and storage without hefty upfront investment in infrastructure. Advantages for customer organisations also include lower total cost of ownership and shorter time to market.

Enterprises in Vietnam benefit from the worldwide trend in big data

ibizCloud enables enterprises to keep pace with the worldwide trend in big data by facilitating access to a cloud computing environment via Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Bandwidth-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Dedicated Bandwidth-as-a-Service (DBaaS). Customer organisations can also use On-demand Virtual Leased Line (ODVLL), which facilitates end-to-end data transmission over a secure network. In addition, ibizCloud provides virtualised infrastructure such as virtual machines, CPU cores, RAM and storage, enabling corporations to access the Internet without restrictions on data usage.

HGC achieves deeper penetration in niche market

Andrew Kwok, President of International and Carrier Business at Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited, said: “We are happy to extend ibizCloud service to Vietnam in collaboration with CMC Telecom. This offers a remarkable business opportunity to provide local and international corporate customers with a highly-secure global cloud service. Creation of a cloud site in Hanoi has further strengthened our position in the Greater Mekong Subregion. It is also another successful example of HGC’s niche market strategy.”

CMC Telecom now better able to meet rising demand for cloud computing services

CMC Telecom CEO Ngo Trong Hieu said: “This co-operation is an extension of existing collaboration between CMC Telecom and HGC, which was formalised by an agreement between the two parties regarding international data and voice services. Outstanding ibizCloud features – such as cost savings, flexibility, network scalability and compatibility with ODVLL – will go a long way to meeting the cloud computing needs of international and domestic corporate customers. We look forward to prosperous co-operation with HGC over coming years, as we seek to satisfy rapidly growing demand in the cloud market and affirm our position as one of Vietnam’s leading telecoms service providers.”
