Indian ICT Service Provider Sify Technologies and Actifio Join Forces

Actifio, Inc. announced a partnership with Sify Technologies Limited, an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) service provider based in India, to implement Actifio’s platform to provide backup and DR to its customers.

Sify Technologies enables digital transformation for companies going through the ICT refresh cycle. It already provides an array of solutions in managed network, hosting and voice services, applications and system integration to help enterprises bypass bottlenecks to grow rapidly.

Sify’ customers previously used multiple point products to deliver backup and DR solutions. With Actifio, Sify will be able to offer an all-in-one backup and DR solution to more than 8,000 customers currently buying Internet services, in order to better streamline their services and reduce their IT spend.

“Our vision is to offer a comprehensive ICT eco-system from the best of breed services to our customers,” said Kirtikar Ojha, head, DC and cloud and managed services, Sify. “With Actifio, we will offer modern, streamlined backup and DR offerings for capabilities to our customers that will enhance the value and resiliency of their data, and allow them to spin up virtual copies of their data in near real time.“

“In India, and worldwide, enterprises are recognizing how strategic their data is as they pursue digital transformation initiatives,” said Ash Ashutosh, CEO, Actifio. “Data-as-a-Service is fundamentally changing the way major enterprises leverage, manage, and protect their data. Sify will now provide cloud-based data virtualization solutions to help customers leverage business resiliency use cases within hybrid cloud architectures.“

Ravi Kollipara, VP, Actifio India, added: “The cost and complexity associated with managing data across traditional siloed IT infrastructures hinders enterprises from realizing the agility they need to innovate, and the efficiency they need in delivering internal IT services. Through our partnership with Sify, these enterprises can leverage new Actifio-powered platforms to fully activate data-as-a-service and embark on their digital transformation.“
