Several start-ups across India are tapping
into IBM cloud to run critical applications and grow their businesses. Goldstar
Healthcare, Vtiger, Clematix, Ecoziee Marketing have chosen SoftLayer, an IBM
company, as their cloud infrastructure platform.
According to NASSCOM's 'Startup Report 2014',
India has the world’s third largest and the fastest-growing start-up ecosystem.
The country has 3,100 start-ups and nearly 800 get added every year. The number
of start-ups in India is likely to grow to 11,500 by 2020.
IBM is powering cloud adoption among Indian
start-ups by enabling them to do more with limited resources and budgets. With
SoftLayer, start-ups can begin on a small scale and then expand rapidly to meet
workload demands without having to worry about large investments in
infrastructure development. As flexibility and agility are of utmost priorities
for any start-up, IBM cloud solutions can help them innovate at a faster pace,
enrich user experience and build affordable business models.
“We wanted to begin the transition to cloud
business model to host our healthcare solutions. Today, healthcare is all about harnessing
information to make the best medical decisions for patients. Being in the
healthcare industry, it is critical that our services and solutions are easily
accessible and available for a larger set of audience without any disruption.”
said Sadanand Reddy, Managing Director, Goldstar Healthcare. “We believe that
our partnership with IBM will help us achieve our goals.”
Enterprises of all sizes in India are
gradually using cloud based technologies to improve performance across
applications and workloads. Customers are able to preserve on-premise control
of key applications and while shifting other workloads to the cloud for quick
access to data, growth of new services and cost reductions. With IBM cloud,
businesses now have the ability to more quickly re-architect existing and new
services to grow and expand their businesses.
“IBM has a deep commitment to the
entrepreneurial community and working closely with start-ups across the world.
IBM’s cloud services give start-ups the required edge to compete and thrive in
a challenging market place. We are excited to work with such amazing organizations
and contribute to their growth”, said Vivek Malhotra, Cloud Leader, IBM India/
South Asia.
IBM has been committed to the overall
development of the startup community and runs several visionary programs to
help them establish their business. Catalyst Startup Program and IBM Global
Entrepreneur programs are few such initiatives which help emerging companies to
harness the power of IBM cloud, as well as connect them into IBM’s vast global
network of clients, consultants, innovation centers, and developers.
