RCOM over past year and its subsidiary Global Cloud Xchange, has been a strategic realignment of its capabilities to support cloud networking requirements, including self- provisioning of network resources and bandwidth-on-demand. The Company’s unique strength in Cloud orchestration stems from its unrivalled national and global network reach, which enable customers to have seamless access to the rapidly-growing public Cloud ecosystem in India, and around the globe.
Mr Bill Barney, Chief Executive Officer, Reliance Communications (Enterprise) and Global Cloud Xchange, said,

The network must now undergo a profound transformation, from a static entity to a dynamic, intelligent, application- aware fabric that can support multiple traffic requirements, diverse geographies and flexible pricing models.”[/notification]
Cloud X is uniquely designed to deliver not only infrastructure provisioning in a few clicks, but the deployment of complex multi-tiered enterprise applications directly on to enterprise networks in minutes, rather than months. The Cloud X platform supports network transparency and Cloud orchestration–key elements in accelerating enterprise applications to the Cloud.
