New Strategy Combines Innovative Security with Suite of Solutions
to Expand Clients’ Options for Delivery of Services in the Cloud
Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today moved to overcome CIOs’ concerns
about security of data in the cloud, cited by organizations and industry
analysts as the top impediment to adopting cloud computing for business
needs.
Unisys unveiled an innovative cloud computing strategy and solutions
portfolio for organizations to move enterprise application workloads
securely to tailored cloud environments with greater confidence in
maintaining the integrity of critical information.
“I believe that cloud computing will revolutionize the way enterprises
obtain business and IT services and change the kind of payback they get
from their IT investments,” said Rich Marcello, president, Unisys
Systems and Technology. “Our clients tell us that they see great value
in moving enterprise applications and data to the cloud. However, they
have lacked the comprehensive security to make them confident in doing
so.
“Security is in Unisys DNA, data center transformation and application
modernization are our heritage, and outsourcing services tailored to the
client’s specific business needs are our forté. Our cloud computing
strategy draws on all those core capabilities to help clients break
through the barriers to adoption and gain a full range of options for
cloud services while safeguarding their operations and lowering IT
costs.”
Underpinning this strategy is Unisys Stealth security solution, an
innovative, patent-pending data protection technology initially designed
for government applications and now available to commercial clients. The
Unisys Stealth technology cloaks data through multiple levels of
authentication and encryption, bit-splitting data into multiple packets
so it moves invisibly across networks and protects data in the Unisys
secure cloud.
The Unisys cloud computing strategy enables clients to choose the type
of data center computing services that best meet their business
objectives, from self-managed, automated IT infrastructures to
Unisys-managed cloud services. Using Unisys services and technologies,
organizations can create a private cloud within their data centers, a
public cloud through secure Unisys-managed cloud solutions, or a hybrid
cloud solution combining the best of both private and Unisys-managed
cloud services.
Supporting its cloud computing strategy, Unisys today announced two new
offerings:
-
Unisys Secure Cloud Solution, a managed cloud service providing
comprehensive data security for multi-tenant environments, in which
clients share a common IT infrastructure. Because the solution uses
Stealth technology, enterprise clients can move existing business
applications – including those with secure or sensitive data, such as
human resources, financial, and healthcare information – into a
managed, shared cloud service. There is no need to rewrite or alter
applications. This allows clients to reap the economic benefits of
cloud services more quickly.
-
Cloud Transformation Services, a portfolio of advisory and
implementation services that help clients assess potential cloud
computing options and determine which option best suits their needs or
financial objectives.
Unisys Secure Cloud Solution: Extreme Security for Cloud Computing
The Unisys Secure Cloud Solution, with availability planned for July 31,
is designed to provide the highest level of data security possible
within a cloud environment today, while reducing clients’ upfront
investments and ongoing operational costs for cloud computing.
The Unisys Secure Cloud Solution integrates Unisys Stealth technology to
allow different clients in a multi-tenant environment to share the same
IT infrastructure without fear of exposing one client’s data to another.
Integrated with the new Unisys Secure Cloud Solution, the Unisys Stealth
technology enables encrypted “data in motion” to remain invisible as it
traverses the infrastructure until it is reassembled upon delivery to
authorized users.
