HGC's launch of enterprizCloud and bizCloud
makes comprehensive cloud services available
to large-scale and SME customers alike

Hong Kong, 24 July 2013 - Hutchison Global Communications Limited (HGC), the fixed-line division of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (stock code: 215), today announced launch of enterprizCloud and bizCloud. These provide large-scale companies and small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with world-class high-end solutions that combine network connection and cloud services in a flexible one-stop package at competitive prices.

Reliable and stable enterprizCloud service provided internationally

HGC enterprizCloud comes complete with a high service availability of 99.99% and meets SSAE16 and European Safe Harbour requirements, thereby assuring corporate customers of highly-secure and reliable cloud services. enterprizCloud reaches across geographies that include Hong Kong, the American states of California and Virginia, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Sydney in Australia, Johannesburg in South Africa and Tokyo in Japan.

Flexible networking capability and fast provisioning of services

Unlike most public clouds using layer 3 network architecture, enterprizCloud adopts a layer 2 model, granting customers the efficiency and flexibility of setting up hardware-based networking - such as VLAN, firewall and VPN - to suit a variety of purposes and enable individual company departments to use the service.

enterprizCloud is highly scalable and offers an easy-to-use web-based interface that allows HGC or customers to activate or change computing resources. Customers are also able to scale computing resources, such as storage, up or down within just 20 to 30 minutes to match unpredictable levels of need.

Diverse bizCloud services for SMEs - at a very competitive price

bizCloud provides cloud services based on a competitive pricing model to make the extraordinary business benefits of cloud computing technology available to SMEs.

Data storage in Hong Kong complies with regulatory requirements

HGC runs carrier-grade data centres in Hong Kong Island and the New Territories, enabling high-end corporate customers such as banks and financial institutions to store data locally, in compliance with regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the market norm is to offer only an online customer service, but enterprizCloud and bizCloud provide a 24/7 HGC customer service hotline for real-time assistance.

HGC Managing Director Jennifer Tan said: "HGC's cloud platform is complemented by our ROADM-based 100G optical backbone network, which offers high speed and low latency. We partner with top international suppliers to provide one-stop comprehensive cloud and network connection services to the benefit of our corporate customers. Launch of enterprizCloud and bizCloud not only widens customer choice of cloud services, but also consolidates our strengths to provide a one-stop combination of network connection and cloud offerings."

As early as 2011, HGC launched eduCloud to provide eLearning applications on a cloud platform for Hong Kong's education sector. HGC subsequently joined forces with Oracle to provide cloud data backup and disaster recovery offerings, serving Hong Kong enterprises with flexible and cost-efficient cloud services. Earlier this year, HGC launched ibizCloud service on an international scale, combining the On-demand Virtual Leased Line service with cost-effective and competitive cloud services for international customers.
