TPG Telecom launches Cloud Region in Brisbane

TPG Telecom has launched a new private cloud service region in Brisbane to help
businesses and local councils throughout Queensland gain access to a highspeed and resilient, cloud computing services.

The launch of the new private cloud services in Brisbane coincides with Moreton Bay Regional Council signing on as TPG Telecom’s first customer for the region, the company said. For Moreton Bay Regional Council, the use of TPG’s private cloud services means it can tap into the benefits of on-premises IT services – including high bandwidth, low latency on-demand compute, and storage from highly secure data centres – without the capital costs typically associated with onpremises infrastructure and management.

“Moving to the TPG private cloud facility will allow Moreton Bay Regional Council to retire some aging hardware and maintenance agreements,” said Tim Gepp, Moreton Bay Regional Council Information & Communication Technology Manager. “Our two remaining data centres can be consolidated into one, saving power, cooling and floor space. With dark fibre connectivity and higher specification servers, we are already seeing improved performance.”

Competitive boost

TPG Telecom expects the launch of the Brisbane-based private cloud service will bring a competitive boost for businesses and local councils in Queensland as many cloud service providers currently operate out of the nation’s more densely populated states of New South Wales and Victoria.

“This will bring enterprise-grade connectivity, competition and choice to businesses and councils throughout Queensland that traditionally have had to look further south for similar cloud services,” said Jeremy Howe, TPG Telecom General Manger, Commercial Enterprise and Government.
“It means their data and critical IT applications will be hosted much closer to home which is great for security and service quality. Not only do we think we have the best enterprise solutions in the market, but we offer our private cloud service for a flat, monthly fee which removes the headaches of bill shock that are often associated with variable charges in public cloud.”

TPG Telecom’s new private cloud service will be integrated with the telco’s core fibre network. This means a customer’s site can directly link to TPG Telecom’s private cloud service via an ultra-high bandwidth connection, allowing for robust connectivity and the security benefits of TPG’s resilient core network.

Centralised cloud IT services are best suited to businesses that own, run and operate on-premises or co-location infrastructure, particularly multi-site organisations. This helps simplify the management of on-premises infrastructure and helps to reduce the complexities of managing hardware faults and maintenance “This is important for businesses looking to simplify and to reduce the operational costs of storing and accessing their information from a secure source. With TPG Telecom private cloud, we can do that by giving business and local council customers a simple way to control their computing and storage resources via a dedicated fibre extension to our infrastructure,” Howe said.

TPG Telecom’s private cloud service supports the latest equipment from external vendors including Cisco and NetApp, and can be connected to public cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure or AWS to form a hybrid or multi-cloud platform. The launch of the Brisbane-based private cloud services means TPG Telecom now operates four similar private cloud sites across the country, including two in New South Wales, and another in Victoria.
