Sify Technologies Signs up with Cisco to Launch Managed Services

Sify Technologies Limited (Nasdaq National Markets: SIFY), a leader in Consumer Internet and Enterprise Services in India with global delivery capabilities, announced today the launch of Managed MPLS Service and Managed Internet Service as part of the Cisco Managed Services Channel Program (MSCP). This service is the first of a series of Managed Services that Sify Technologies plans to launch over the next two years.

The Managed MPLS Service will provide world-class solutions with end-to-end service assurance to enterprises for their business critical networks. The services are a part of Sify's strategy to migrate from TDM to IP based network services and introduce a full suite of Managed Services for Indian enterprises.

The launch of these services follows the Tier 1 MSCP certification for Sify Technologies from Cisco for their network and service capabilities. The certification places it in a league of select global operators that are endorsed for carrier-class MPLS networks and enterprise-class MPLS service capabilities.

The Cisco Tier 1 MSCP certification is based on rigorous third party audit that covers various aspects of the MPLS Service, including network architecture, network engineering capabilities, the security on network and service providing capabilities and processes.

Over the next two years, Sify will start offering a wide range of managed IP based services in a phased manner. These services will enable enterprises to outsource some of their most important IP communication services with complete investment protection and scalability.
