Unisys Offers New Secure Private Cloud Solution

Unisys announced the latest in a series of moves to expand the full spectrum of secure cloud computing options available to enterprise CIOs.

The company announced Unisys Secure Private Cloud Solution, a solution for organizations to realize the operational and economic benefits of cloud computing in their internal data centers. Unisys also announced enhancements - including a disaster recovery service - to Unisys Secure Cloud Solution, the company's managed public cloud offering.

"Unisys is committed to giving clients highly flexible computing services that enable them to move more of their business workload to the cloud," said Rich Marcello, president, Unisys Technology, Consulting and Integration Solutions. "We have found that some organizations prefer a private cloud solution for mission-critical applications that use sensitive data so they can retain greater control over their own and their customers' information. Unisys meets that need with the Secure Private Cloud Solution."

Recent Unisys research has consistently shown that security concerns are the leading cause of enterprise and individual users' hesitancy in adopting cloud computing. The most recent findings of the Unisys Security Index, a bi-annual global study of consumer opinion on security-related issues, showed that a significant percentage of respondents worldwide were uncomfortable about having their personal data controlled by a third party without assurance that the data could be kept secure.

"Unisys cloud computing strategy is based on providing industrial-strength security and data protection," said Marcello. "Like our public cloud offering, Unisys Secure Private Cloud Solution goes a long way toward allaying the security concerns of enterprises and their customers. Unisys Secure Private Cloud Solution presents CIOs with a way to realize the full operational and economic advantages of public cloud computing on their own terms, in their own data centers, with extra measures of security for their organizations' and their customers' sensitive information."
