Outscale Rolls out Its Enterprise Class Cloud in China


Outscale is pursuing its international development strategy by entering the Chinese market, with the opening of a first Point of Presence in Hong Kong. The IaaS specialist is facilitating local deployment for American and European businesses with its high-performance, low-latency Cisco (News - Alert)/NetApp Cloud infrastructure of excellence managed by TINA OS 2.3, Outscale's fully AWS-compatible proprietary Cloud orchestration software.

China: a diverse IT landscape and a strategic destination

China is a hotbed for growth - according to IMF figures, it has just knocked the US off the top spot as the world's leading economy. The huge nation already accounts for 16.5% of the global economy and many economists, including Branko Milanovic, agree that its ascent is far from over.

Above all, China is a prime market for American digital companies, importing $22.9 billion worth of electronic goods from the United States in 2013 (source: International Trade Centre). A large majority of its companies are still under-equipped in terms of software and IT services; fewer than 22% of them have a CIO.



While it may have some catching up to do, China is already the world's leading Internet market, with 632 million internet users (source: government agency), 700 million smartphones and tablets in use, and a government that is spending huge sums to upgrade software and IT services.

An Enterprise Class Cloud - now available in Asia


Cloud infrastructures have a wide range of uses and have to meet the often stringent requirements of various companies. To fulfil these needs, Outscale has rolled out an ISO27001-certified, high-performance, high-stability Cloud in China Telecom's (News - Alert) benchmark Tier3 Datacenter in Fo-Tan.

This location in the Asia Pacific zone offers American and European firms a Cloud infrastructure for their Asian clients and subsidiaries, allowing them to benefit from extremely short latency times and large storage, calculation and network capabilities.

The new Point of Presence is available right away - and compatible with Outscale's offers.
