Bitcasa Powers Indosat Ooredoo Cloud in Indonesia

Bitcasa, Inc. announced a partnership with network operator Indosat Ooredoo, a telecommunications network and services provider in Indonesia.

Indosat Ooredoo has integrated Bitcasa’s cloud storage technology into the company’s wireless plans.

The new service, called incloud, launched in November of 2015 and is seeing steady growth.

“Bitcasa has given us the opportunity to use personal cloud as one of the digital services we offer our customers to enhance their experience with Indosat Ooredoo. We are very excited to leverage Bitcasa’s infrastructure, pre-built applications, and subscriber analytics. This offering is in-line with our vision to be the leading digital telco in Indonesia, enriching people’s lives through digital experiences,” said Alexander Rusli, CEO, Indosat Ooredoo.

Indosat Ooredoo currently provides wireless services for over 69 million subscribers in Indonesia.

With the partnership, Indosat Ooredoo subscribers have access to incloud branded applications that provide cross-device storage, access, and sharing functionality backed by Bitcasa’s security model. Bitcasa’s platform allows Indosat Ooredoo to maintain ownership of the service branding, customers, and data.

“Most cloud storage solutions available to the device economy require taking on a great deal of risk – or giving away users to third-party brands,” said Brian Taptich, CEO, Bitcasa. “Our partnership with Indosat Ooredoo to power their incloud service further validates that the Bitcasa platform removes these hurdles, allowing partners to use cloud storage to generate additional revenue and reduce churn.”

As the amount of digital content created and shared across devices continues to increase, cloud storage has become important for device manufacturers, network operators, and ISVs because of its ability to deepen customer relationships.

Bitcasa has a growing roster of global partners that utilize its white-label Turn-key Drive applications including SanDisk and Hutchison Telecommunications, which services more than 82 million customers throughout Asia and Europe. More than 25,000 developers also use Bitcasa’s CloudFS APIs, which provide a simple way to integrate cloud storage into applications and services.
