Mumbai, Maharastra -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/27/2012 -- Netmagic Solutions, India's largest pure-play Managed IT Hosting Services Provider and Spectranet, India's fastest growing integrated communication services provider, today announced a strategic partnership to collaborate across multiple business avenues.

As part of this partnership Spectranet will set up India's first multi-location commercial DiD (Datacenter-in-Datacenter) across Netmagic's datacenters in Mumbai, Noida, Bangalore and Chennai. Spectranet will independently deliver service and support to their customers hosted at the DiDs, with Netmagic providing the core datacenter infrastructure support and services. This is the first such deal in the datacenter space in India where a communication services provider has partnered with a pure-play datacenter service provider.

Also as part of this deal, Netmagic will benefit from Spectranet's vast fibre and IP network and shall be able to extend these services to its customers. However, Netmagic will continue to be a carrier neutral hosting provider.

The partnership opportunity is worth Rs. 200 Crores and will help Spectranet and Netmagic leverage each other's core competencies to deliver greater value to their customers. Globally, in mature markets, this business model is common within the datacenter space, where an end-user focused service provider partners with a pure-play datacenter service provider for collocation space and related services while focusing on customer service & support. This model provides cost and operational efficiencies for both players.

Says Mr. Udit Mehrotra, Managing Director, Spectranet, While Spectranet has been providing Datacenter services since 2000, our footprint has been largely limited to Delhi and Bangalore region. This partnership will enable us to rapidly roll out services across the top 4 Enterprise and SMB markets in India. The model ensures that the service delivery and management is entirely done by Spectranet, while leveraging the underlying state-of-the-art infrastructure available at the Netmagic facilities. This partnership will also enable Netmagic to leverage Spectranet's core strengths in intra-city connectivity to offer integrated connectivity and datacenter solutions in the market.

Says Mr. Sharad Sanghi, Founder & CEO, Netmagic Solutions, We believe that this is a visionary and path-breaking move made by both companies. Given the growth opportunity in the marketplace and cost benefits to be had, the model is a win-win partnership for both organisations. This partnership also comes as an acknowledgment of Netmagic's leadership position in the Managed IT hosting services space that we have built over the last 14 years.

Awarded 'Data Center Service Provider of the Year 2011' award by Frost & Sullivan, Netmagic has more than 2,00,000 square feet of datacenter space including the recently launched state-of-the-art 40,000 square feet datacenter in Noida to service the NCR region. The Noida Datacenter was the 7th datacenter for the company in India and its first in North India.

With this, enterprise customers in and around Delhi NCR will now have access to quality Managed Hosting Services delivered with the same IT expertise and acclaimed customer service and support that Netmagic is known to deliver from its other datacenters. Customers will benefit from Netmagic's experience and expertise of managing mission critical IT infrastructure for more than 1000 customers over the last 13 years.

The state-of-the-art Datacenter has been engineered and built by Netmagic's own core design & project team using innovative technologies and best practices for efficiency, high availability and highest level of physical security.

To ensure highest power uptime, "express feeders" have been brought to the facility at high voltage levels from nearby sub-stations. Redundant diesel generator sets with underground fuel storage capacity enough to keep the facility running for 48 hours have been installed, should the entire feeder grid fail for an extended period of time. All racks are being fed power from N+N UPS sets, with sufficient battery backup. The facility has been designed to meet the ever increasing power requirements of modern IT equipments like storage arrays and blade servers.

Netmagic has been at the forefront in building energy efficient datacenters, and is the only Datacenter provider in the country to receive a Gold LEED certification from USGBC for its datacenter in Chennai. Netmagic has implemented all the learnings and best practices from its Chennai facility at the Noida datacenter as well.

Being a truly carrier- neutral facility with all major telecom providers present, Netmagic offers its large enterprise customers complete freedom to choose the telecom carrier to connect their hosted applications to their branches, retails outlets, warehouses, factories and business associates. Gigabits of burstable Internet capacity aggregated from multiple Internet service providers offer content hosters and ecommerce organizations robust, fast and cost effective infrastructure to service their end users.This is the 7th datacenter in the country for Netmagic Solutions, India's largest pure-play managed IT hosting services firm and leader in the Cloud Infrastructure (Infrastructure as a Service) market. Netmagic, currently, has datacenters in Mumbai (including one at the Bombay Stock Exchange), Bangalore and Chennai. A full range of managed hosting services including collocation, dedicated hosting, disaster recovery and business continuity, IT infrastructure monitoring and management and Cloud computing services will be delivered from the Noida Datacenter. These services will be backed by the same automation tools and 24x7 customer service delivery framework that are enjoyed by all Netmagic customers. Customers from this region can now go in for a primary site in Noida and look at their Disaster Recovery sites to be hosted at any of the other Netmagic datacenters or vice versa.

Says Delhi-based internet and mobile product company ibibo web's Pratap Kumar Singh, Senior Vice President - Technology Operations, "For our critical products like social and multiplayer gaming applications, we need to have highly scalable and high performance datacenters. Netmagic datacenters offer the most satisfying experience and unmatched value proposition. Be it its reliable and scalable infrastructure, its uninterrupted power distribution and accurate load reporting (without getting the customer to pay for extra capacity), the on-demand bandwidth increase, reliable service support through its Network Operations Centre or its superior managed services, Netmagic comes out tops on all services and parameters anyway you look at it. Netmagic completely understands a customer's business criticality which gives it the edge in its industry. I wish Netmagic a big success in Delhi NCR like it has achieved with its datacenters across India."

Mumbai, Maharastra -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/31/2011 -- Netmagic Solutions, India's largest pure-play managed IT hosting services firm and leader in the Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS) market, today, launched the third generation of its enterprise-grade on-demand public cloud services – SimpliCloud (Cloud Services on Public Internet), HybriCloud (Public Cloud Services extended to an enterprise's dedicated IT infrastructure over secure VPN) and Private Cloud (Dedicated Cloud Services for an enterprise). All cloud services come with Netmagic's highly reliable 24x7x365 mission-critical human support that is still not common practice in the industry.

Netmagic is offering a 15 day free trial of its public cloud (IaaS) service at http://www.simplicloud.com

Developed at its R&D Labs in Pune, SimpliCloud already has many large, medium and small enterprises across India, hosting a variety of CRM, ERP, e-campaign, mail and messaging, e-commerce and custom applications.

SimpliCloud is suited for all organizations; right from those managing just a few servers to those that need complex IT infrastructure setups involving hundreds of servers, network and storage resources to support mission-critical business processes. With SimpliCloud they get enterprise-grade infrastructure and industry-leading SLAs in a simple pay-for-what-you-use monthly or hourly billing model with the added benefit of scaling up or down at will. SimpliCloud also comes with flexible pre-paid and post paid billing plan options; both online and offline. SimpliCloud is a comprehensive suite delivering all IT infrastructure components as are required to handle any business critical application and includes SimpliCompute for compute resources, SimpliStor for external storage and SimpliNet for firewalls and load balancers. SimpliCloud also has a brand new user interface that makes it intuitive for even a first time user to configure cloud resources, in a matter of minutes.

Netmagic's HybriCloud service is the best fit for enterprises looking for solutions that can help them extend their existing dedicated IT infrastructure and enable it with unlimited scalability, using Netmagic's public cloud resources over a secure VPN, while still retaining the four-walled security of their enterprise IT network. HybriCloud enables organizations to have an optimum blend of dedicated in-house hardware resources and public cloud resources – all working on a single logical network thereby meeting the most stringent performance, security as well as scalability demands of any critical business application. HybriCloud thus helps CTOs to have a smooth change over from existing captive resources to a secure and scalable public cloud and avoid the need for early depreciation of existing IT infrastructure investments as they start the journey to move onto the cloud.

Organizations can also choose a customized hosted "Private Cloud" set-up based on their requirement. Netmagic also announced launch of two partner programs -SimpliConnect and SimpliSell to facilitate cloud adoption.

SimpliConnect – Netmagic Cloud Ecosystem Partner Program brings together Application Developers, ISVs, System Integrators, PaaS & SaaS providers and helps them capitalize on Netmagic's SimpliCloud IaaS offering. The participating partners can transform their current business model into a service based OPEX model. The program is a step towards creating an eco-system of partners to meet the rapidly growing demand for cloud-based delivery of platform and applications, and also make it easy for end-user organizations to move onto the cloud.

SimpliSell – Netmagic Cloud Affiliate Program, on the other hand, is aimed at increasing the penetration of cloud services especially in Tier 2 & 3 cities in India through channel partners. In another first in the IaaS industry, Netmagic's SimpliSell program enables partners to resell SimpliCloud's white-labeled cloud services under their own brand and price point. Partners can resell the SimpliCloud service on transfer pricing model or go for white-labeling. The white-labeled services provide partner's their own branding and flexibility to integrate with their own billing system and payment gateway.

Sharad Sanghi, MD & CEO, Netmagic says, "Netmagic's cloud business is growing at more than 100%. There is a clear intent from customers to leverage the cloud for greater business flexibility and no upfront investment. They also want a simple solution that can make their journey onto the cloud hassle-free. We were the first to identify this opportunity in India and launched our cloud services in April 2009. By backing it up with the highest level of support and with our initiatives to enable the ecosystem; we hope to push cloud adoption in India significantly." He also added, "We have seen an increased adoption of cloud services in the last two quarters where 90% of all our SimpliCloud Proof of Concepts have been successful, adding to our list of SimpliCloud customers."

Cloud computing platform leverages VMware vSphere and Cisco UCS solutions

Goregaon (East) Mumbai, Maharastra -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2011 -- Netmagic Solutions, India's leading managed IT hosting services provider, today announced the beta release of its next generation cloud computing platform developed along with VMware and Cisco Systems. This cloud computing platform leverages VMware vSphere® and Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) to provide a robust cloud solution for enterprises and service providers.

Netmagic's engineering team jointly collaborated with VMware and Cisco to develop a high performance Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform that meets global standards and will allow organizations to leverage benefits of using a cloud environment that offers scalability, security and reliable migration.

Netmagic is one of the first VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) partners in India to develop the orchestration layer on top of the VMware virtualization platform. Enterprises can now benefit by leveraging the managed services being provided by Netmagic on top of Cisco's cloud optimized system. At the same time service providers can take their offerings to market faster by offering this as a white label solution.

Commenting on the launch, Sharad Sanghi, Managing Director & CEO, Netmagic Solutions, said, "Netmagic's collaboration with VMware and Cisco has helped create a global, best-in-class Public Cloud (IaaS) platform with unique offerings for both Indian and overseas markets. We intend to further leverage this relationship to tap into enterprise virtualization and the private cloud market."

"We are very excited about our partnership with Netmagic for developing a global, best-in-class Public Cloud (IaaS) platform" said T. Srinivasan, Managing Director, VMware India and SAARC.

"The VSPP enables our partners like Netmagic to offer solutions that provide cost-effective, custom-made cloud infrastructure through a simplified, easily accessible service model. This partnership will create new opportunities to offer virtualization-enabled solutions, applications and services for their customers and sets the foundation for greater profitability. I am optimistic that this strategic partnership will help accelerate the proliferation of innovative cloud services and solutions in India."

Also commenting on the collaboration, Mr. Rajesh Rege, Sr. Vice President – Data Center, Cisco India & SAARC, said, "A journey to an IT cloud infrastructure requires changes both in the technology and the operations of a business. As more companies understand what a cloud infrastructure could mean for the agility of their business, there is a growing realization that it will need to be built differently. Cisco and VMware together offer a truly integrated technology platform that addresses the challenges of infrastructure virtualization and reduces the risk for enterprises planning to move to private clouds. We are excited to be associated with Netmagic as a key link in the value chain of high-value service delivery."
