JARING OneCloud Attains VMware vCloud Powered Validation in Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur, 27 September 2011 – JARING Communications Sdn Bhd (JARING) today announced that its OneCloud public cloud service has achieved VMware vCloud® Powered status, illustrating to customers that the company’s cloud services are underpinned by VMware’s leading virtualization and cloud computing technology, namely VMware vSphere® and VMware vCloud Director™. A member of the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP), JARING provides its OneCloud VMware vCloud Powered service as a set of cloud computing services across a common platform, supporting the largest set of existing applications and offering distinctive application mobility uniquely available from VMware.

“The partnership with VMware has enabled JARING to offer enterprise-class cloud infrastructure services into the market and allow customers to easily build secured virtual private and hybrid clouds,” says Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Yaacob, Chief Executive Officer of JARING.

Since the launch of JARING’s OneCloud service in July, the company has seen tremendous response from the market, especially the medium and large enterprises from the financial, media and government sectors that demand strong service level agreements (SLAs) and higher security in cloud infrastructure services.

“The VMware vCloud® Powered program was developed to enable our service provider partners to differentiate themselves and help them bring their enterprise-class cloud services to market in this competitive landscape,” says Ed Lenta, General Manager, VMware ASEAN. “We look forward to supporting JARING further as it delivers on the agility and performance customers are looking for in the cloud computing landscape.”

Customers of JARING have the ability to move workloads from their VMware vSphere-based virtualized or private cloud environment to the VMware vCloud Powered service and back again. This application portability is a key differentiator allowing customers to achieve the flexibility and security they need while enabling increased IT agility.

JARING sought VMware vCloud Powered validation in order to offer enterprises a simple, cost-effective transition of workloads into a cloud environment that provides high levels of flexibility and access to the latest infrastructure technologies. As a validated provider, JARING can now provide users with enhanced responsiveness and agility, and reduced IT costs through increased consolidation, task automation and simplified management.
