Celstream Chooses Verizon Business To Move Apps To Cloud

Celstream Technologies, a product engineering services company in India, has chosen Verizon Computing as a Service (CaaS) to deliver business applications to Celstream’s global users. The on-demand, flexible cloud solution, which is provisioned through a Web-based user interface, will allow the company to better manage IT resources and achieve cost efficiencies.

Celstream provides product engineering and offshore research and development services to high technology companies in print and publishing, media and entertainment, and consumer electronics. Central to the company’s business model is the ability of its sales and service offices around the globe to quickly and securely deliver new software tools and applications to its global customers.

Celstream was already a Verizon Business customer, using Verizon Private IP to provide a scalable global communications network to connect its offices and customers around the world. However, the company wanted to further streamline its global business operations to realise cost and management efficiencies, and prepare for further growth.

Celstream also wanted to hand off management of its network infrastructure to free up resources to focus on strategic communications needs, and to explore options to enable on-demand downloads at the customer end.

It, therefore, set out to identify a service provider that could combine secure application hosting with flexible service delivery.

It quickly became clear that Verizon’s CaaS offering provided the perfect solution. The service gives flexibility, enabling Celstream to scale computing capacity up or down on demand, according to the company’s business needs. In addition, Verizon Business’ data centre facilities offer a stable foundation on which Celstream can build its business-critical application-deployment strategy.
Verizon’s CaaS uses a pay-per-use model for daily billing, integrated security, automated provisioning, and integrated storage and back-up services to support business continuity. Application availability is backed by Verizon Business’ stringent service level agreements.

Sriraman, Vice President - commercial at Celstream, said, “We’ve taken this project from design to delivery in just a few short months, thanks in no short measure to the commitment of the Verizon Business team. Our business is all about meeting and exceeding our customers’ expectations. We, therefore, needed to find a suitable partner, who could support our business growth.”
