With the current global scenario, there is wider recognition for business resilience and agility that cloud enables; most businesses are now beginning to explore a cloud-first model. DevOps, a set of practices that combine software development and IT operations, has become an important requirement for enterprises.
To make applications future ready, businesses are modernising them by leveraging Containers and Kubernetes (an open-source platform for container orchestration), as they offer businesses the scalability and portability they need to be agile and build a competitive edge, enabling self-service provisioning and capacity on- demand with ease.
Tata Communications’ services can manage Kubernetes on Google Cloud platform that can enable application modernisation seamlessly, which is an essential need as enterprises graduate in the hybrid multi-cloud environments.
According to an IDC survey, more than 60% of Indian organisations plan to leverage cloud platforms for digital innovation, as they re-strategise their IT spending plans. Tata Communications and Google Cloud India together have market leading capabilities across a spectrum of services for customers looking to reframe their business blueprint.
“The current demands on enterprises to manage and optimise their cloud solutions has never been more important, especially in the wake of COVID-19 and our increasing reliance on cloud infrastructure,” said Rajesh Awasthi, Global Head of Cloud and Managed Hosting Services at Tata Communications.
“As organisations migrate to Google Cloud, they need a partner that will support them across their entire IT ecosystem and deliver a unified cloud management platform that offers greater transparency, control and security of their data and applications,” said Awasthi.

Through our partnership with Tata Communications, we will be able to provide our customers with a unified, end-to-end experience that will remove the complexity in cloud management and help them transform at speed and scale,” said Amitabh Jacob, Head of Partners and Alliances at Google Cloud India.
