\"Gateway\"<\/a>Australian telco Telstra has bolstered his position in the growing cloud market with the launch of Cloud Gateway.<\/p>\n

The Cloud Gateway is Telstra\u2019s new solution which enables businesses to connect to multiple public cloud environments, acting as a one-to-many \u201cgateway\u201d model via Telstra’s IP network.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost organisations don\u2019t realise the full value of cloud out of a single service,\u201d said Philip Jones, Global Products and Solutions at Telstra. \u201cInstead, our customers are investing in sophisticated hybrid cloud environments, which come with their own range of fragmented networking challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese include managing multiple vendors, portals and contracts, while trying to maintain a high level of security, performance and operational efficiency. We believe that just because these solutions are sophisticated, doesn\u2019t mean that they should also be complex. Cloud Gateway is Telstra\u2019s simple way to connect multiple clouds, and create hybrid environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The product offering will enable Australian customers to connect to Microsoft Azure, Office365, AWS, IBM SoftLayer, and VMware vCloud Air, while international customers can only connect to AWS and IBM SoftLayer for the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelstra is very well positioned to help customers with hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, as we bring the cloud and the network together,\u201d said Jones. \u201cThe network is the fundamental piece of the puzzle that helps provide a secure and reliable application experience. Having a single touchpoint also helps reduce IT complexity, enabling our customers to maximise the benefits of investing in cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Telstra has been making moves within the cloud space in recent months, following the announcement of a cloud innovation centre in February. The centre was launched alongside partners AWS and Ericsson with the focus of accelerating the adoption of cloud technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cTelstra’s vision is to build a trusted network service for mission critical cloud data, and we are excited to explore the opportunity of bringing this vision to life with Ericsson and AWS,\u201d said Vish Nandlall, CTO of Telstra, at the time of the announcement. \u201cThe Cloud Innovation Center at Gurrowa intends to bring together cloud experts from Ericsson, AWS and Telstra to encourage cloud adoption and the development of new business opportunities for Telstra and our customers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
