At Tata Communications, we help organisations build the right cloud smart approach by formulating a well-defined strategy that is aligned with business objectives and considers visibility, interoperability, network and application dependencies, management and cost.

We enable organisations to unlock significant business value from their cloud investments by weaving their disparate IT infrastructure together, orchestrating the different clouds to provide a unified cloud environment that is optimised and continuously monitored and managed. With us, companies will not just have a partner with the required skillset to manage their cloud journey but will also find the best fit solution with the capacity and capability to deliver a holistic cloud experience.

Building a next-generation infrastructure entails a significant transition from on-premises deployments to customised solutions that are auto-provisioned and offer self-service tools for organisations to configure and control on their own.
Storage, compute and network infrastructure are the key pillars of this transformation. organisations have already made a lot of progress in shifting storage and compute capabilities to the Cloud and the Edge. This has also driven the need for internet-first, cloud-first network architectures. However, it is important for businesses to move from a cloud-first strategy to a cloud-smart strategy that helps organisations determine the right infrastructure mix between on-prem infrastructure, private & public cloud and Edge to support varied workloads and complex regulatory requirements.

Tata Communications helps with this transformation through an integrated approach to digital infrastructure by building a blueprint for a cloud-smart transformation supported by a secure network transformation that is aligned with business objectives and ensures visibility, interoperability, network and application dependencies, management and cost.

A cloud-smart network is hyper-vulnerable. Organisations must upgrade their existing security controls as a cloud-smart network environment renders legacy security models irrelevant. Threat visibility and control across a distributed and multi-vendor cloud network requires multiple security thwarts attack. Organisations in this phase must secure their transformed networks using a multi-layered defence strategy, utilising the latest security controls – including Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) or Secure Web Gateway (SWG) – to their existing controls, such as perimeter-based firewalls. This will help provide comprehensive protection for people, processes and technology against all cyberthreats.
