New Unisys Solutions To Enhance Cloud Computing Adoption

Unisys has unveiled a cloud computing strategy and solutions portfolio for organisations to move enterprise application workloads securely to tailored cloud environments with greater confidence in maintaining the integrity of critical information.

Underpinning this strategy is Unisys Stealth security solution, a data protection technology initially designed for government applications and now available to commercial clients. The Unisys Stealth technology cloaks data through multiple levels of authentication and encryption, bit-splitting data into multiple packets so it moves invisibly across networks and protects data in the Unisys secure cloud.

The Unisys cloud computing strategy enables clients to choose the type of data centre computing services that best meet their business objectives, from self-managed, automated IT infrastructures to Unisys-managed cloud services. Using Unisys services and technologies, organisations can create a private cloud within their data centres, a public cloud through secure, Unisys-managed cloud solutions, or a hybrid cloud solution combining the best of both private and Unisys-managed cloud services.

Supporting its cloud computing strategy, Unisys has announced two new offerings:

- Unisys Secure Cloud Solution, a managed cloud service providing data security for multi-tenant environments, in which clients share a common IT infrastructure. Because the solution uses Stealth technology, enterprise clients can move existing business applications – including those with secure or sensitive data, such as human resources, financial, and healthcare information – into a managed, shared cloud service. There is no need to rewrite or alter applications. This allows clients to reap the economic benefits of cloud services more quickly.

- Cloud Transformation Services, a portfolio of advisory and implementation services that help clients assess potential cloud computing options and determine which option best suits their needs or financial objectives.
