ONAM Cloud launched to provide enterprise

A cloud platform, ONAM (Orchestrated Networks, Applications and Machines) Cloud, has been launched to provide Indian startups, enterprises and industries with enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure while keeping data and compliance requirements within their chosen jurisdictions.

The platform, launched by Saints and Masters, went live on Friday and has been deployed with Equinix, the world’s largest digital infrastructure company, as its data centre partner.

This gives ONAM the ability to deploy sovereign cloud regions across Equinix’s global footprint of more than 280 data centres, spanning over 70 metropolitan locations in more than 35 countries across six continents.

As part of its India expansion, the organisation has established a new development centre in Kochi, Kerala, strengthening its investment in local technology talent and India-based global delivery.

ONAM Cloud also provides customers with direct, private and on-demand connectivity to public cloud and SaaS services, enabling secure multi-cloud environments without routing sensitive traffic over the public internet, including direct connectivity to Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.

ONAM Cloud has set a target of enabling 10,000 small and medium enterprises in India over the next three years.

The initiative aims to make enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure accessible to small and medium-sized businesses as well as large enterprises.

The launch comes at a time when India’s cloud market is witnessing rapid growth.

“ONAM Cloud is built on open standards and open-source infrastructure technologies, without dependency on proprietary hypervisor or cloud platform licensing at the infrastructure layer,” senior cloud architect Dijeesh Padinharethil said.
