NTT Europe Announces First Phase of Global Rollout for Enhanced Cloud Services

LONDON, October 13, 2010/PRNewswire/ --

    - Customer Portal Gives Users Full Control of NTT Europe's New
Compute Cloud Offering

    NTT Europe is today announcing the launch of its Compute Cloud service to
be offered under NTT Com's BizCITY(R) concept of providing secure access to
enterprise services from anyplace at anytime. Further launches into new
territories are expected in Q1 2011 to enhance NTT Com's desire to provide
truly global product offerings with one contract, one SLA and one customer
portal.

    NTT Europe has successfully been providing private cloud (Global
Virtualization Services: branded BizHosting Global in Japan) and public cloud
(OpSource-powered Cloud Solution) solutions. The new Compute Cloud service
will further complement these existing offerings. Customers will be able to
redistribute network, compute and storage resources between multiple
environments, on-demand whilst maintaining high levels of security and
accountability. This function allows customers to meet the needs of different
types of environments such as: Live/Production, Test/Pre-production, Customer
Trials, Development Playgrounds/Sandboxes, Business Continuity and Disaster
Recovery.

    In order to control Compute Cloud, users will have a dedicated customer
portal giving them the ability to remotely manage the Compute Cloud
environment. Customers can deploy, configure and delete virtual machines as
required, monitoring performance requirements in real time. Resources can be
scaled for purpose at the click of a button, whilst a pay-as-you-go pricing
structure ensures customers only pay for what they use.

    Stephane Estevez, Product Marketing Manager of NTT Europe, said "The
profile of the individual project or the application being put into the cloud
determines the type of cloud service required. When it comes to IT
infrastructure, there is always a balancing act, and it is very clear to us
that it is the level of performance required of the application and its
business sensitivity, not the size of the company, that determines which
service is best suited. NTT Europe can design solutions of multiple cloud
configurations helping customers to reap the benefits of each and manage the
integration between them and existing in-house IT infrastructures."

    NTT Communications is currently exhibiting at VMWorld in Copenhagen, at
booth 14.
