CSC has opened seven cloud-enabled data centres in the US, UK, Luxembourg and Australia, which feature virtualised cloud fabric and multiple grades of services for organisations interested in public, private or hybrid cloud offerings.
The new data centres, located in Chantilly, Va., Newark, De., Chicago, Il., Sydney, Australia, Copenhagen, Denmark, Luxembourg, and the New Kent Complex, UK, feature software recovery capabilities, energy optimisation, scalability and dynamic workload balancing.
The company claims that clients can now fully utilise the flexibility, speed and economy of cloud-based business while obtaining the levels of security, reliability, continuity and sustainability.
CSC also unveiled Gateway, an e-commerce portal for hosting and cloud services clients that simplifies and speeds access to CSC offerings and includes self-managing features like auto-provisioning, pay-per-use and electronic purchase orders. The new portal enables clients to tap into the complete catalog of CSC’s Trusted Cloud and Hosting offerings through an intuitive interface.
Siki Giunta, vice president of cloud computing and software services at CSC, said: "CSC’s Trusted Cloud and Hosting portfolio will continue to grow as the market defines new requirements. What differentiates CSC from other cloud providers is our unique ability to surround the offerings with the infrastructure for success like easy access with CSC Gateway and a global presence of cloud certified data centres."
