In order to provide uninterrupted cloud services, MTS has
invested in building a distributed cloud system, unified by its own
communication channels. MTS has used VMware technologies for its
cloud platform and has re-equipped its data centers in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and Novosibirsk with the most advanced and secure
data storage systems and servers. MTS intends to re-equip data
centers in other cities in 2017 and enable the implementation of
IaaS-Projects (Infrastructure as a Service), as well as new SaaS
(Software as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) services,
such as Big-Data-as-a-Service[1].
"By adopting cloud services, companies can achieve a threefold
reduction in their IT infrastructure costs. With such clear
economic savings, as well as the flexibility and simplicity of
cloud management, we see great demand for our corporate cloud
services. Our solutions are not only multi-faceted, with the option
to integrate both IT and telecom services, but also guarantee a
high level of security and reliability," says Vladimir Khrenkov,
Director of the MTS Innovation Center, which is leading the
development of #CloudMTS.
Vasyl Latsanych, Vice President for Strategy and Marketing,
added: "The launch of #CloudMTS is yet another step in delivering
on our digital strategy. MTS is poised to expand well beyond its
original mobile service into the tech segments, including Big
Data, financial and banking services, internet of things, OTT,
systems integration and e-commerce".
MTS previously offered data center services under the colocation
model, where companies installed their own equipment in MTS data
centers. MTS also offers cloud computing services for small and
mid-size businesses.
