Technology has been constantly shaping the business landscape. However, the recent gush of technological advancements in corporate IT—each obsolescing the previous one in a short span of time—has made it imperative for businesses to seek protection for their valuable investments. Achieving operational efficiency with existing infrastructure and maintaining sustainability has become the other major concerns. Organizations with substantial IT deployments, today, show considerable interest in recycling and optimizing their IT infrastructure. ‘Green IT’, as it is called in the business circles, has become a norm to sustain this rapid change. A pioneer in ‘Green IT’, Basis Bay has been offering sustainability solutions to balance social, economic and environmental costs. Praba Thiagarajah, CEO, Basis Bay, expounds, “Basis Bay defines 'Green IT' as the efficient use of IT resources with sustainability in mind.”
Basis Bay's core focus is on providing Green IT solutions that covers IaaS/Private Cloud-based solutions, enterprise infrastructure planning, Green IT consultancy, and Green Data Centres.
Basis Bay recently celebrated its 20th year anniversary having initially established itself in South East Asia in 1996. Being a successful provider of Sustainable Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure and Managed Data Centre Services across 22 countries, the company has served close to 300 clients so far. It operates in a niche segment across multinational companies with a key specialization in the financial services industry which make up close to 85 percent of its current client base. Apart from large American and European companies, many financial institutes in the world have been using the company’s managed data centre services for almost 20 years, which in itself is the greatest USP for Basis Bay. Many ‘sustainability awards’, including the prestigious Dutch Business Council Sustainability and Enterprise ASIA Green Leadership awards, have been bestowed to Basis Bay. In addition, a long list of client testimonials vindicates the commendable work it has done that went into client’s success.
Sustainable Cloud for Productivity Improvements
Given the complex and demanding nature of knowledge required to sustain, today, very few organizations manage their own data centres. An exception in today’s competitive landscape is Basis Bay that owns as well as manages its data centres. The Basis Bay’s Sustainable Cloud is the first of its kind in the market. It is a comprehensive multiplatform private cloud that showcases the company’s specialization in the complex legacy systems found only in large financial companies. It permits companies to get on to private cloud space in well-planned stages and in a sustainable manner. It also provides solutions for hybrid environments, vendor lock-in and sustainable issues. The Basis Bay’s Sustainable Cloud offers multiple tiers of compute, storage, data protection as well as management. It is a full-layer, self manageable private and hybrid cloud that can be customized depending on the customer needs.
Using this, the conglomerates that have legacy, proprietary and UNIX based systems can roll out strategic Business Applications more seamlessly than ever before. These companies stand to benefit on technical and economic terms, addressing their environmental concerns and lowering total cost of ownership.
The financial sector, which constitutes nearly 85 percent of Basis Bay’s clientele, uses applications that are heavily reliant on IT. For them, Basis Bay uses its own or partner’s data centres to manage the load. They are highly secure as well. Using The Basis Bay Sustainable Cloud, organizations can have access to their vital data from any location in the globe. The Basis Bay’s Sustainable Cloud offers advanced security network end-points, supporting SSL, VPN and IPSec access. It even manages Software and hardware encryption.
Today, leading banks and financial institutes rely on Basis Bay in managing adverse situations when production server or banking services go down. “Our in-house design and build capabilities can also be tapped by companies who are looking to build or retrofit their data centre with green philosophy and want to optimize on energy usage,” explains Praba Thiagarajah.
