LONDON, June 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com), the ICT
solutions and international communications business within the NTT
Group (NYSE: NTT), announced a new five year agreement with closed
life and health insurance book manager Admin Re® to provide IT managed
services, hybrid cloud and data center services initially in the
UK. Admin Re is part of the Swiss Re
group, a leading global reinsurer in the Fortune Global 500.
Richard D'Amico, Head of IT, Admin
Re said, "We are very impressed with NTT Com's commitment to
leverage its depth of experience as a pure play infrastructure and
cloud application services provider and customize its enterprise
scale solutions to meet the demands of our customers and our
continuing growth strategy."
Admin Re's IT strategy is to
consolidate services from both its own data centers and those
provided by existing outsourced contracts, to NTT Com's managed
service model. By doing this Admin
Re will improve its service quality and optimize costs.
Phased migration to cloud balances cost, security and
agility
Admin Re's outsourced IT services
will be migrated to NTT Com's managed private cloud service,
beginning in late 2016.
This will be followed by migration of Admin Re's own data center services to NTT Com's
colocation environment. NTT Com will then help move additional
applications from Admin Re's legacy
workloads to existing private or public clouds as well as emerging
public PaaS or SaaS models. In total, over three thousand servers
will be migrated.
Bob Welton, Regional Director,
Northern Europe, NTT Europe said,
"This partnership is a testament to NTT Com's IT as a service
(ITaaS) capabilities underpinned by our strengths in global cloud,
data center and network services. Using our global capabilities
coupled with local engagement we are able to provide the scale and
customer centric focus to ensure seamless business integration. We
are addressing real world issues, such as application migration,
business support, legacy workload integration and unified
operations, which arise during cloud transformation. This
partnership represents what every large organization must do when
embracing change - find models to straddle the traditional and
cloud worlds. Admin Re is on that
exciting journey of change, and NTT Com will be there as a true
partner to help them achieve their goals."
