Zenith Infotech has announced the launch of TigerCloud, a high performance private Cloud product that combines server, storage and network virtualization technology and allows customers to build and have their own sophisticated private Clouds at costs lower than public Clouds. Based on Intel Xeon E3 processor family, TigerCloud is a three-in-one product, combining private Cloud, business continuity & backup as well as scale out iSCSI storage.
As per IDC, though cost continues to be an important variable constraining technology adoption, SMBs are also exhibiting a perceptible desire for customized solutions and products that cater to their unique requirements. IT spending in SMB will reach record levels in 2012 and as such this market presents huge opportunities. The growing role of “social, mobile, and virtual” will drive major SMB investments in Cloud.
Zenith Infotech’s TigerCloud costs 70% less than similar converged infrastructure products from the major multinationals. Based on Intel Xeon E3 processor family, Intel DBS1200BTS board and Intel 320 series SSDs, TigerCloud is a high performance system and is built around Microsoft’s Hyper-V technology. Zenith Infotech has invested over Rs. 200 crore on R&D for its private Cloud products.
Akash Saraf, Chief Executive Officer of Zenith Infotech, said, “This solution will help both mid-sized as well as large organizations build their private Clouds at costs lower than public Clouds.”
Debjani Ghosh, Managing Director, Sales and Marketing Group, Intel, South Asia, said, “SMBs with limited resources, and who would like access to the cloud in order to stay productive and agile, will benefit from TigerCloud based on Intel Xeon E3 processors. The Xeon E3 processor delivers intelligent and adaptive performance, and reliability that would be beneficial to SMBs.”
