Converge ICT Solutions Inc. yesterday unveiled cloud services for its enterprise customers to help businesses be more efficient in terms of cost and their operations amid the pandemic.
Converge said its cloud services provide businesses with different ways to transfer data to and from their public cloud resources. These include cloud upload booth, cloud direct connect and DIA upload for enterprise customers.
Gilbert Virtucio, Converge head for product management and network, said during the virtual product launch the new offerings have lower cost compared with competition.
The cloud upload booth is Converge’s on-premise service that offers access to premium LAN-based 10 Gbps internet connectivity, allowing enterprise customers to upload large files to cloud service provider (CSP) platforms.
This makes it the perfect solution for loading the initial full data backup of a customer’s servers to their cloud storage through Converge’s vast network capacity. The working space is in an exclusive and secure upload booth located in Reliance IT Center, Pasig City.
Converge has also partnered with digital infrastructure company Equinix to offer cloud direct connect service to its clients.
Cloud direct connect provides a private connection from the customer all the way to their CSP.
Lastly, the DIA upload offers asymmetric upload and download, with the upload speed being two times higher than the download speed, unique in the industry. The higher upload speed makes DIA upload suitable for applications that are heavy on outbound traffic, Converge said.
DIA upload is targeted to companies that utilize cloud storage for data replication or backup. This service can also be used for businesses to operate and leverage upload resources such as content providers, and companies that host websites and content accessed by its customers.
“As the only pure end-to-end fiber technology provider in the country, we are committed to offering beyond just a public network. These innovative cloud connectivity services are a testament to our commitment to enterprises to help grow their businesses,” said Jesus Romero, Converge chief operations officer. – Myla Iglesias
