BANGALORE: California-headquartered Speedera Networks Inc, global provider of distributed application hosting and content delivery services, has entered into a partnership with Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) to provide Internet infrastructure services for the Indian market.
Through Speedera's "Fusion Partner" program, VSNL will deploy Speedera's technology in its data centers and market Speedera's comprehensive SpeedSuite family of services to its vast customer base.
Tata Indicom Enterprise Business Unit MD Sandeep Mathur observes this partnership as VSNL's reinforced commitment to Enterprise customers to offer world-class, value added services. He says, "As the leader in international telecommunications and Internet services, our aim is to consistently redefine the market by adding new and innovative services that improve end-user satisfaction while reducing the costs associated with scaling our ever-expanding infrastructure."
The opening of Speedera's new Bangalore office creates a second headquarters for the company, whose principal office is in Silicon Valley in California, and which also has sales and support offices in London, Paris, New York, and Washington D.C., informs an official release.
Speedera India will be supporting Speedera's growing list of Global 2000 customers and helping to drive the company's accelerated global expansion strategy.
"This is an exhilarating moment for Speedera as our India operations are now up and running, and include a full range of corporate functions - sales, marketing, finance, technical support, research and development," said Speedera Networks president & CEO Ajit Gupta. "India represents far more than a source of revenue for Speedera, as Speedera India will help to drive every facet of the business for the benefit of our customers worldwide. "We are not a U.S. company nor are we an Indian company," Gupta added. "We are truly a global company."
Speedera has had a long presence in India, having deployed significant network deployment here beginning in 2000. Moreover, many of the company's initial customers were in India and served to validate its business model. Indian customers currently include enterprises such as the Times of India, Rediff, NDTV, Sify and Wipro, the release adds.
