Tulip Telecom Launches On-Demand Cloud Storage Services

Tulip Telecom launched two new services to cash in on the emerging opportunities in the managed back-up and cloud computing space, and is targeting small and medium enterprises (SME), said a senior company official. The Mumbai-based company has partnered with the Bangalore-based EMC Data Storage Systems (India) to offer the services out of its new datacentre in Bangalore.

“Managed back-up services can reduce the total cost by nearly 40 percent and increase the data restoration success rate to around 99 percent from 60 percent. The loss of data during restoration means loss of business opportunity,” said Deepinder Bedi, Executive Director at Tulip Telecom. He said globally the managed back-up services market is around $4 billion and the hosted (remote) back-up service is around $1.1 billion.

Tulip Telecom would provide end-to-end managed on-demand storage services and Backup-as-a-Service (Baas). The services would be offered using EMC’s unified storage and backup and recovery technologies. “We will not be partnering with any other solutions provider for offering these two services,” Bedi said. He said the Indian market for these two services is huge and the company will be targeting the SMEs.

Bedi said once the company exhausts the datacentre capacity in Bangalore it would branch out to other cities like Delhi.

On-demand storage and BaaS are cloud computing based business models wherein information storage, backup, archival and de-duplicationtechnologies are offered to customers on need basis and as`pay-as-you-use’ manner.

“The global cloud computing market in 2016 is expected to touch $4.5billion,” said Rajesh Janey, President, EMC India.
