Oblako Company Implemented Corporate E-mail Service on ICL Cloud

ICL Cloud – a hybrid cloud platform based on advanced technologies of virtualization of computing systems, network, and data storage systems, which allows the user (system administrator) to independently create the required configurations of virtual infrastructure. And the affordable OpenStack and reliable for business VMware vCloud represent an optimal combination of cost and efficiency. A wide variety of information security products, including back-up, secured access through SSL VPN, etc. is available for ICL Cloud users. ICL Cloud reliability is confirmed by STAR certificate issued by Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).

 "We had special requirements to the data placement in the cloud, and they were determined by the business of Oblako LLC and Arysh Mae, so we insisted on including them to our ICL Cloud services agreement," — notes Alexey Kislukhin, Director of Oblako LLC. 

Flexible terms of cloud services provision, advertence to customers problems when they contact 24/7 technical support, as well as a wide variety of complementary services — that is what distinguishes ICL Cloud among other suppliers of similar services.

"ICL Cloud offers good first-line support and responsive Service Desk, and  SLA 99.9 % with financial guarantees makes me confident about the trouble-free operation of the corporate e-mail service I am responsible for!" — says Adel Aminov, Head of IT Department at Oblako LLC.

Having provided ICL Services, a supplier of cloud services, with the tasks regarding deployment, support and development of a reliable computing platform, Oblako LLC obtained a beneficial surplus in IT service budget.

"Implementation of ICL Cloud resources instead of buying additional expensive servers allowed us to invest more in the development of our business, whereas we bear only operating expenses and only for those resources we really need today, — notes Alexey Kislukhin. — If tomorrow, our business tasks will require more computing resources, we will be able to timely get them on ICL Cloud platform. This is really handy! Anyway, we do not reject our own IT infrastructure, but will combine two approaches in order to achieve our targets."

"We are very glad to have Oblako LLC as a customer of ICL Cloud services, — says Ruslan Vagizov, Chief Operating Officer at ICL Services. — I hope for a fruitful cooperation between our companies and count on monthly enlargement of the volume of such services delivery. I'm sure the innovative cloud platform ICL Cloud will help Oblako LLC to more efficiently move towards achievement of strategical targets of its business."
