Sangfor Technologies has launched Managed Cloud Services (MCS), which enables businesses to get IT services on demand without having to invest in expensive hardware or personnel. MCS combines the convenience and flexibility of a public cloud with the protection, control, and professional service of a private cloud, making it the ideal cloud service solution for both large and small businesses (SMEs).
The launch was in partnership with OGX Networks Sdn Bhd (“OGX”), a leading Malaysian network distributor specialising in IT Enterprise Distribution and Services. Together, Sangfor and OGX will provide a globally distributed data centre powered by MCS, offering Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service, enabling customers to embark on their digital transformation while focusing on running the day-to-day business.
“The biggest benefit of a managed cloud service is that it frees you from the responsibility of running your IT systems and places it on the service provider. We developed MCS to empower our local partners, making it easier for them to manage their organisations’ data and information, which are crucial for any organisation’s competitiveness and growth. As we move into the endemic phase in Malaysia, we are committed to providing accessible cloud services to local customers, so they can thrive in today’s changing economic landscape,” says Jeffrey Zhang, Country Manager of Sangfor Malaysia.
Enterprises worldwide are leveraging MCS to suit many different applications such as managing private data centres, critical applications, back-up & disaster recovery, online & onsite professional services, and much more. An enterprise can choose which IT functions it prefers managing in-house and outsource the rest to MCS. MCS offers end-to-end service support by working together with local certified local service partners such as ICO Certified Datacentre Hosting companies. MCS features expert butler-level service that allows customers to get a 1-on-1 personalised response within 5 minutes, including application migration, business recovery, and troubleshooting.
“Whether you’re a small, medium, or large enterprise, MCS enables you to adopt cloud technology by outsourcing to a trusted and experienced partner. This is especially important for organisations with limited resources. Enterprises are looking for customisable, reliable, scalable and secure solutions that allows them to make changes to their existing offerings on an as-you-need basis, without disrupting their current business processes. We seek to encourage and educate many of our local customers about embracing cloud services, and how it can have a positive impact on their bottom line and future growth”, Tan Suan Loong, Managing Director, OGX Networks Sdn Bhd elaborates.
Sangfor MCS allows a hybrid cloud strategy by exchanging data and applications between public and private clouds with greater security and flexibility. In addition, the company is working to create an ecosystem with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure in order to provide different cloud services to enterprise customers.
