Sify Technologies: India’s end-to-end digital transformation partner

Jitender Durairajan, Head Cloud Engineering & Solutions at Sify Technologies, believes it is imperative for businesses to carefully consider who they partner with in their digital transformation journey. He points to IDC’s research on hybrid and multicloud management as a case in point.

“IDC’s research found that organizations ‘need to work with professional cloud service providers that offer end-to-end capabilities of assessment, cloud migration, security, and managed services, and that can create integration and unified management tools for hybrid/multicloud, as well as provide cloud-adjacent data centers, latency-sensitive network, and cloud management services,’. This finding is particularly relevant to Sify because it describes the breadth of offerings and the extent of the capabilities and support, they provide to more than 10,000 businesses across India today. Sify believes strongly not only in providing enterprises with best-in-class enterprise multi-tenant cloud, private, public, and hybrid cloud offerings but also everything needed to realize the optimal, most secure cloud journey – one that enables them to realize their larger transformation goals.

At the heart of Sify’s cloud portfolio is CloudInfinit, a high-performance, robust, and flexible cloud infrastructure based on proven VMware by Broadcom technologies that enable enterprises to monitor and manage their entire cloud estate with ease. Sify offers customers with a dedicated fully hosted private cloud , with an option of managed public hyperscale cloud – including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and OCI and everything required to combine both effectively for a truly hybrid approach.

“Our long relationship with VMware reflects our shared belief in providing a comprehensive platform that delivers the full array of hybrid cloud capabilities while integrating compute, storage, networking, and security,” he adds. “With VMware at its core, our customers not only retain the VMware solutions they know and trust but also tap into the state-of-the-art developments coming out of Broadcom’s significant investments in innovation, research, and development efforts, we are happy to be directly involved in as a Broadcom Pinnacle Partner.”

Private and hybrid cloud future

Jitender notes that organizations in highly regulated industries like banking, financial services, government, healthcare, and insurance are increasingly adopting private cloud to ensure that they meet or exceed the most stringent data security, data sovereignty, and compliance requirements. He also points out that private cloud adoption is rightfully increasing in environments where latency and high performance are crucial factors, such as in financial trading platforms, and within sectors like manufacturing and logistics where the deep customization of IT infrastructure is often required to address unique application needs.

“We have seen enterprises that originally pushed for a public cloud-first approach but realized that a more nuanced and application-specific focus is actually ideal,” he adds. “The full potential and value of an effective hybrid cloud strategy builds on that premise while delivering the numerous benefits a multi-cloud strategy enables.”

Jitender notes that those include far more effective and robust disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities, greater flexibility and scalability, the ability to avoid vendor lock-in, and the ability to match the right workload to the right cloud. Notably, Sify’s hybrid cloud offerings provide all of these and more.

“The enterprises that rely on CloudInfinit, from industry stalwarts in banking, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, media, and retail to savvy startups, use it to match the right workloads with the right cloud based on performance, cost, and security needs,” says Jitender. “And our wider portfolio and extensive offerings further optimize the systems involved. In this way, the organizations we partner with know they will receive the full expertise, solutions, and support they need to migrate to the cloud, manage the cloud, and optimize the cloud.”

AI Advancements

Jitender says, “Looking at the future of AI, we have invested in our cloud infrastructure – CloudInfinit⁺ᴬᴵ capable to deliver high-performance GPU-as-a-Service, optimized for demanding AI workloads supporting deep learning, machine learning, model training, and high-performance analytics with unmatched scalability.”

Delivering end-to-end capabilities

Notably, Sify’s platform and full cloud portfolio – from assessment, advisory, migration services to multi-cloud environment and management – is enhanced by equally impressive offerings that encompass everything from cloud, network infrastructure, data centers and security solutions. These include 14, high-performance, data centers – each equipped with advanced AI/ML capabilities to deliver 100% uptime and ten layers of security for added resiliency.

“Our holistic approach at Sify ensures that our customers have a trusted partner who will support them through their entire digital transformation journey,” says Jitender “That means providing the peace of mind to our customers that their needs will be addressed entirely and at all points in the future.”
