Virtustream Expands Enterprise Cloud Platform
for Mission Critical Applications to Asia-Pacific Region

Partnership with Dell Technologies Helps to
Bolster Regional Offering

SINGAPORE– March
23, 2017 – Virtustream, the
enterprise-class cloud company and a Dell Technologies Business, today
announced that its enterprise cloud platform and services for mission
critical applications are now available in the Asia-Pacific region including
Australia and Japan. This offering includes Virtustream’s innovative cloud
technology and unique consumption billing model.

The need for
enterprise cloud services in the region is increasing. According to published
research, by 2020, “IDC predicts the Cloud Systems Infrastructure Services
revenue in Asia/Pacific including Japan will reach $12.9 billion.”

“The pent up demand
for enterprise-level cloud services in the Asia-Pacific region is tremendous as
organizations are eager to globally scale their operations at a rapid pace;
while also managing the complexities of migrating their existing systems of
record to the cloud,” said Frank Gens, IDC senior vice president and chief
analyst.  “Add to that regional needs such as data sovereignty, and it
narrows the playing field of providers significantly.”

Virtustream is
bringing its enterprise cloud platform – built specifically for the mission
critical applications that are essential for commerce, customer interaction,
and enterprise productivity—to customers in the Australia/New Zealand (ANZ)
region. Virtustream has established a cloud presence in Sydney and Canberra in
order to serve the needs of both the enterprise and public sectors within
Australia. This expansion comes on the heels of Virtustream’s recently announced expansion
in Japan with regional ICT providers.

“We are prepared to
tackle the most challenging digital transformation projects for our customers
in Asia-Pacific,” said Simon Walsh, chief operating officer, Virtustream. “Our
local partnerships combined with the strength of our cloud platform, deep
expertise in the enterprise cloud space and relationship with Dell Technologies
will provide businesses in the region with an unprecedented opportunity to
utilize the cloud to rapidly transform and scale their businesses.”

Virtustream’s
partnership with Dell Technologies is a critical part of its formula for
success as it continues to expand in the Asia-Pacific region.

“Virtustream and Dell
EMC’s cloud solution will create new ways for organisations to approach
enterprise cloud in ANZ. The platform offers the cost benefits of consumption
billing, as well as increased security, compliance, application performance and
disaster recovery,” said Mark Fioretto, vice president, Enterprise, Dell EMC
Australia and New Zealand. “The business of migrating mission-critical systems
of record to the cloud is complex and requires specific expertise. Our
customers require a multi-cloud strategy to truly transform their environments.
Between Virtustream and our service provider ecosystem, Dell EMC is ideally
positioned to provide enterprise and public sector customers with the choice
they need to digitally transform their organisations.”
