cloud x brings competition to telstra’s pen service, the former pacnet enabled network, acquired by telstra in early 2015 .
cloud computing has seen its growth explode dramatically since its initial introduction to the mainstream market. it’s estimated that by 2020, the cloud computing market will exceed $ 241 billion. but where did it come from and how has it evolved ?
global cloud xchange changed its name from reliance globalcom, but did not follow through by offering any cloud services as it had announced. additionally, it had a very limited u. s. network capacity and was really only competitive in india and emerging countries where it owned cable infrastructure. in the time i was there, it went from the lower left quadrant on gartner' s magic quadrant, to being completely removed from the report. when selling to a cio, for example, lacking 3rd party endorsements and a limited customer reference base created a very challenging sales environment .
for the last few years reliance globalcom had been on the auction block in various forms as the parent company was hunting for ways to monetize it and thus relieve its own balance sheet pressures. that long and unsuccessful effort ended with bill barney' s arrival, as did globalcom' s, shall we say, restrained efforts to market itself. with the rebranding as global cloud xchange, the former pacnet ceo is clearly on board to shake things up .

launch that the company would achieve full deployment of its next - generation content and cloud delivery network by the end of this year .
“we aim to deliver the world’s true cloud ecosystem globally, ” chief executive bill barney said in an interview before the firm’s rebranding launch .
“we are living in an era where mobile applications, social media, key technology drivers and applications will exponentially boost the volume of digital information being shared every second. our new cloud ecosystem means delivering an interwoven portfolio of infrastructure and data centre solutions with sophisticated cloud orchestration capabilities. ”
in this respect, the reliance global cloud exchange differs from similar plays like telstra’s pacnet network across east asia – which barney previously headed – in that it offers services higher ‘up the stack’ making it easier for companies to deploy smart applications, something barney sees as being particularly attractive to the media and financial industries .
“we are pleased to utilize the existing subsea cable infrastructure to deliver immediate capacity to meet growing requirements of our global business customers, ” said bill barney, ceo of reliance communications (enterprise) and gcx. “this will also support our digital backbone as we complete deployment of our cloud x nodes across india. ”
he claimed that there was a massive and rapid shift of organisations’ it resources into the cloud, and that this had caught many cios off guard .
ultra - high bandwidth services up to 100gbps, facilitating the mass movement of internet traffic, ott content, and enterprise data and cloud computing services .
in addition to the 27 application providers directly connected to cloud x, barney said there were an additional 460 that could sell their wares through the network .
in the beginning we' ll be a facilitator, but eventually we' ll be a cloud operator in its own right ,
said barney .

automated orchestration layer .
“in the next four to eight months we will bring the company together as a single company, focusing more on ip (internet) services (and) ‘cloud’ services, in addition to our cables, which have been critical, but if you think where the internet is going, it’s largely around fibre and cloud, ” said barney .
he said it was important to support cloud services growth in china and other emerging markets, because they had become the centres of international outsourcing, manufacturing, commerce and internet services .
“over the next 12 months, we will launch over 20 cloud exchanges into what we call forward operating centres that we will partner, own or build, ” barney said. “these will connect to our storage operating centres located in low - rent, optimal cooling locations. we will also roll out a full suite of cloud services in 44 countries later this year. ”
as for target segments, gcx focuses more on next - generation ott type of services, which are global in scale .
we focus more on the emerging parts of the world, because most people in the emerging markets can' t afford the pc or a smart phone ,
barney added .
for cloud operators, we are the perfect guys to play in that space. over time, you' ll see that the populations in places like dubai, saudi arabia, iran will come onto the internet using a tablet - - a very cheap tablet and the cloud .
around the world incumbent telcos and mobile network operators have responded by moving up the value chain into managed services and cloud computing and one particularly interesting company in this respect is india’s reliance telecom .

i knew something dramatic was probably in the pipeline ever since they brought in the effusive bill barney to lead the company in january. if the name didn' t give it away already, the company is aiming squarely at the cloud by hoping to provide the pipes and data services that connect cloud nodes to other cloud nodes and to the enterprises that will use them. but they are also talking more about data center investments than i have heard in the past, with expansion plans foreshadowed in asia and the middle east. the details behind all this will take some time to emerge i' m sure .

pen and cloud x are both early players in the growing market for software defined wide area network services, and barney predicts a massive shift in the use of networks from provision of communications to the provision of access to compute and storage resources .
prior to pacnet, mr. kwan served as director of operations for worldcom asia pacific, responsible for overall operational efficiencies such as mttr, on - time delivery and operations cost. he has also held various management positions with global one, lucent technologies, motorola and nortel .
for instance, these cloud xchange nodes can help government departments access 240 times the amount of compute power currently available in government data centers, and over six times the high - speed storage currently available in india, according to the company. reliance group with its 11 data center facilities has a total capacity of over 600, 000 sq ft across the country. the data centers are connected by india’s largest terrestrial fiber network and the world’s largest submarine sub - sea cable infrastructure, already constitute a vital core of india’s digital backbone and a mission - critical component in the digital transformation of india, the company said .
cloud computing enables enterprises to buy, lease, sell or distribute over the internet a range of software, business systems and other digital resources as an on - demand service, like electricity from a power grid. such resources are hosted in data centres .
for each of these companies, diversifying into other fields makes sense however each strategy brings its own risks – in reliance and telstra’s cases this means competing with cloud services vendors like amazon and microsoft – that telcos haven’t been exposed to in their core markets .
reliance globalcom, the submarine cable arm of reliance communications (rcom) has successfully integrated the hawk cable system with its global network, the economic times reports. the hawk cable has landing stations in marseille (france), yeroskipos (cyprus) and alexandria, egypt, where it connects to globalcom’s

he had committed to invest about rs 10, 000 crore over the next few years to expand its presence across digital, data centres, cloud computing and telecom space. but, today, the company did not disclose the break up investment numbers for the data centers .
“we believe that as we build out our capabilities around the world, allowing people to access the cloud will be the most important thing we can do. because over the next 10 years enterprise usage of networks for computing will go from 15 - 20 percent today to 80 percent. ”
“it gives customers enterprise class access to apps from a suite of 27 applications and connectivity to any data centre on the planet that is connected to our network… it allows users to store information wherever they want to, and to access any cloud provider on our network anywhere in the world. ”
shanghai, hong kong, tianjin, kuala lumpur, bangkok, dubai and oman are among the key locations for the company’s network of “cloud exchanges”, the firm' s version of advanced data centre complexes. it already has a data centre in hong kong, which it plans to upgrade .
telstra has since expanded coverage to a global network of 26 pops across the asia pacific region, europe and north america and in january 2016 announced the pen exchange and the pen marketplace. pen exchange allows pen customers go provided on - demand connectivity with other pen customers. pen marketplace allows users to add virtual applications such as firewalls and routers .
nextdc ceo craig scroggie commented, “the ability to access interconnection platforms like gcx’s is bringing new value to data centre operations, and when matched with the axon virtual exchange available in data centres across the country, offers seamless, on - demand network connectivity to a wide range of cloud and network providers. ”
while reliance’s claims are yet to be tested in the market, the company’s shift to higher level services illustrates a struggle facing all telecommunications operators. to do this, reliance and telstra look to global networks and data services, singapore’s singtel tries its hand at media content in a similar way to britain’s bt and vodafone makes a strong internet of things play .
it will drop these cloud exchanges into what it calls forward operating centers (focs): high - density data centers with
strong fiber connectivity and internet gravity
that are located in cities and tech centers where they can have high customer engagement and growth to generate 80 to 90 percent of their cash from services .

based on current 100g technology, gcx will be able to deliver significant capacity across this important singapore - india route with possibilities to increase it in future based on technological advancements and market demand. this capacity will interconnect with rcom’s established network of data centers, connected by india’s largest terrestrial fiber network which also connects seamlessly into gcx’s global infrastructure –the world’s largest privately owned subsea cable system .
the network coverage of gcx and pacnet are very different. ours is a global network, as oppose to pacnet being an asia only network ,
barney explained .
in our business, we focus largely in the middle east, and through the eastern european quadrant, with our world' s largest submarine cable network. by contrast, pacnet is really just an asia - only player .
as cloud computing becomes more prevalent, the network that supports it becomes ever more complex ,

formerly called reliance globalcom, some of the senior management at gcx - - ceo, coo and cmo - - have held senior positions at pacnet. how would gcx ceo differentiate his company from pacnet? do they compete on the same plane ?

gcx services are more about managed services businesses on top of submarine cable business, whereas pacnet' s are more about point - to - point type of services, wide area network (wan), and on transactional basis ,
he continued .
in terms enterprise customer base, the two companies have fairly similar structure .
a lot of pacnet' s customers are smes and medium corporates ,
