Decade of Change *

Millennial consumers (1981-1998) have been born into the digital world, not just adopting, but also driving innovation of new technologies to ‘enhance’ their lives

* Sourced from PWC Research 2014


there’ll be more than Cisco says that by 2020,

37 billion things connected to the Internet


But it’s not the things that matter. It’s the data they produce, and what we can learn from it.


The data you have access to has the potential to fundamentally change the way your organisation operates


As a digital business, you need the agility to transform your business as fast as the market changes

Accelerate your digital business

Respond smarter and faster with Hybrid Cloud

Risk less, achieve more with

Cyber Security

Unleash the power of data with

Digital Infrastructure


Digital Infrastructure for Digital Business

Architectures have significantly changed where the network is the platform for the data centre

New users Big data

Virtualisation

Converged infrastructure

Internet, enterprise network

Workloads, applications, storage

New devices New locations New applications and workloads

Core enterprise applications

Next-generation automation and process management


Creating business agility through…

network automation


Why automate?

Increased topological complexity

Greater need for service agility

Reinforcement of security measures

Eradicate human errors

Virtual infrastructure supports features like workload mobility, multi-tenancy and location independence Complex configuration cannot be easily managed manually with no errors

Reduce dependency on operation team


There are various ways to programme a network…

T h e c l o u d empowers you

to not only deal with the influx of data but benefit from it


It allows you to

move as fast as the world does and pursue the opportunities technology and data provides


And act like a start-up: launch new businesses, embrace new business models with the shortest TTM (time-to-market)
