Tata Communications announced the launch of InstaCompute and InstaOffice, to be offered under pay-as-you-use IT application as a cloud-based offering.

Instant data centre infrastructure, InstaCompute, promises to provide secure and elastic, on-demand computing and storage resources to businesses over the network, as and when they need them.

To complement InstaCompute, InstaOffice (powered by Google Apps) brings global internet-based collaboration and office tools to Indian companies, with on-demand ease of use and pricing. InstaOffice tools include email and calendar, instant messaging, voice and video chat, as well as office document applications which are accessible to businesses when and where they need them.

Vinod Kumar, President and COO, Tata Communications says, ‘Driven by a rapidly evolving economy, Indian businesses desire flexibility and scalability of infrastructure as they pursue growth within India and overseas. Simultaneously, the competitive environment requires them to achieve their goals with low upfront investments. Tata Communications’ InstaCompute and InstaApps will help our customers to quickly leverage advanced IT and networking services, without the cost and complexity associated with them.’
