Telcos are strengthening their Cloud position!

The French telecom service provider Orange has teamed with VMware, EMC and Cisco to create a "ultimate" cloud proposition for enterprise customers, as detailed in this MarketWatch new story. This initiative, called "Flexible 4 Business" is targeted directly at enterprises that require high reliability and quality of service levels. In fact, Orange will offer SLAs for the service, promising customers certain quality levels:

As the service provider in all Flexible 4 Business engagements, Orange Business Services will commit to tiered end-to-end service level agreements (SLAs).

As I pointed out in one of my posts, I believe telcos are in a strong position when it comes to delivering cloud services to enterprises by providing SLAs and managed network services.
