As of now, large companies can centrally obtain information about T-Systems' cloud solutions, try and order them directly using an online portal. Solutions for Mobile Device Management, Dynamic Services for Infrastructure and the Enterprise Marketplace are currently available on the Enterprise Cloud Portal at www.t-systems.de/cloudportal (German only). They can be used in just a few clicks and adapted to the required capacities in a short amount of time. The platform can be accessed via any PC, laptop or tablet connected to the Internet. "The portal allows even non-technical users in large companies to access specialized cloud offerings and services of T-Systems , which have won awards from Experton Group recently," explains Thomas Spreitzer, head of T-Systems’ marketing unit. According to a study conducted by the market research institute Gartner, by 2015, 35 percent of IT spending will be selected and managed outside of IT departments, e.g., by employees from Marketing, Procurement and Accounting. Free trials With Mobile Device Management from the cloud, companies can manage mobile devices with various operating systems such as iOS and Android via a standardized web platform. This enables security settings to be made, access rights to functions and applications to be regulated or data to be deleted via remote access, if for example the device is lost. Mobile Device Management can be tried for free in the first four weeks with up to three mobile devices. Two services are available for IT infrastructure from the cloud (Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS) - Dynamic Services for Infrastructure (DSI) from the private cloud and "DSI with vCloud Datacenter Services" as hybrid variant. The customer manages the resources himself via a web-based portal or via his VMware management software. Clear price models make the infrastructure costs transparent. Here are two examples: With the Small package, a server from the private cloud costs from 9 cents per hour. With the hybrid solution, the package price for the smallest virtual data center model is EUR 999.84 per month. The Enterprise Marketplace cloud offering comprises among other things additional IaaS solutions (with the Linux and Windows Server operating systems), Platform as a Service (including Tomcat, Microsoft SQL Server among others) and a steadily increasing number of Software-as-a-Service offerings (including Doculife, CA Nimsoft, TAXOR, TIS, WeSustain, Metasonic, ARAS, Tibco Tibbr, Sugar CRM, Microsoft Enterprise Search and Microsoft Lync among others). In addition, it gives companies the opportunity to not only acquire a diverse range of applications in a highly secure way in formats that meet their requirements, but also to have their own applications migrated and hosted. It is anticipated that Enterprise Marketplace will be fully available this summer. Currently, the Cloud Portal offers a preview. In the Experton Group’s Cloud Vendor Benchmark 2013 T-Systems confirmed its leading position in the categories “managed cloud” and "managed private cloud". In both categories T-Systems won the the Experton Cloud Leader Awards.
