Anise Asia has selected Virtustream to power the next generation of its cloud platform.

The public and private cloud services provider is launching its SAP Business One Cloud offering to SMEs in Malaysia. Its partnership with Virtustream will help Malaysian SMEs adopt best-in-class business applications without the complexity and cost of on premise infrastructure with the assurance of security, compliance, performance and efficiency previously only available to the largest enterprises.

“SAP Business One Cloud answered [the] call for an ERP solution that was quick to deploy and easy to run and maintain. By moving those solutions into the cloud, we are addressing demand for more flexibility, security and cost savings,” said Suhaimee Abu Hassan, Founder and CEO of Anise Asia.

For Virtustream, the alliance also expands the reach of its cloud IaaS, software and cloud professional services into the high-growth ASEAN market, through a Master Distribution Agreement, which will allow Anise Asia to sell Virtustream’s software portfolio throughout the region.

Virtustream’s micro-VM (μVM) technology makes it possible for IT operating expenses to be more efficiently optimised, while its consumption based pricing model ensures that customers only pay for the resources used. Enterprises can gain the scalable, dynamic, on-demand benefits of the cloud combined with enterprise-class performance, security and compliance. Virtustream’s Cloud IaaS delivers the elasticity needed to optimise performance and scale to meet demand, while drastically cutting time to market. Early results have already shown that SAP’s response time can improve by over 30% when running on Virtustream’s cloud, while significantly reducing costs.

Simon Aspinall, President of Service Provider business, Virtustream, said: “Together, Anise Asia and Virtustream are able to address the growing demand for enterprise-class cloud services in the ASEAN market.”
