Everyone has learned numerous lessons about resilience, adaptability, and recovery during the pandemic. One of the most important lessons learned is how to find innovative solutions to problems and how to overcome them while recovering lost ground and opening up the economy. Undoubtedly, 2022 is a year of transition. The economy is recovering, which has enabled businesses and educational institutions to reopen using hybrid work models. These changes imply increased economic activity to stimulate growth.
These are the same principles that multi-cloud, application-focused, managed cloud services provider Cloud4C is using to help businesses be more ready, recover quickly, and stay flexible no matter what problem they face.
More businesses now understand that the cloud has created opportunities for a more effective corporate future based on hyper-agile performance and the unbroken resilience it can provide. The majority of the largest platforms that make up the modern Web run on the cloud, making virtual the new enterprise reality. By 2025, the cloud is expected to host more than 80% of all data flows worldwide, according to a new Gartner estimate.
As businesses all over the globe move toward economic reopening, the need for mission-critical innovation to ensure uninterrupted operations and functional efficiency has become necessary more than ever. Digitization across every industry has accelerated. Cloud adoption in the new normal is no longer bracketed as a technological forward move for progressive enterprises but has become an imperative business decision for all enterprises to survive while innovating to grow. The interest and focus of cloud adoption in enterprises have shifted towards mission-critical domains as the next logical step in their digital transformation journey.
But the adoption of the cloud in mission-critical domains is proven to be challenging due to the requirements and risks unique to some industries, coupled with the fact that a large majority of enterprises lack confidence that they have the right guiding principles and capabilities to overcome challenges to achieve the expected value outcome.
The Philippines has been recognized as one of the key markets in the ASEAN region, following the result of an exponential growth in demand for Cloud services based on a study released by the IDC that states 60% of CIOs/CTOs want to use cross-cloud solutions.

"The pandemic has taught us a key lesson on how to be better prepared in order to keep businesses running. Being resilient meets adversity, and being innovative to remain relevant. During the pandemic, there was this last set of enterprises who are really prepared and obviously they were the ones who thrived during the pandemic," Panlilio continued.
Manila Water, one of the country’s major providers of water treatment, water distribution, sewerage, and sanitation services is an example of the country’s important digital transformation pioneers. Cloud4C has helped Manila Water protect itself against potential outages and performance lags from an expected rise in incoming traffic. The cloud services company proposed the assessment of the water concessionaire’s current IT infrastructure and IT security, before deploying a Geographical Disaster Recovery on Microsoft Azure (Singapore) for business-critical applications and data. This approach created a Cloud Disaster Recovery strategy for Manila Water with higher business resilience and a lower risk of data loss. This also paved a way for further and future digitalization of Manila Water’s entire IT infrastructure.
“I think what has happened in the last two years has possibly accelerated and made us realize that we can live in this hybrid world -- or what I call the two-speed world of the physical and the digital, and someday in the future for every organization and every individual, paths will merge,” said Debdeep Sengupta, Cloud4C Global President & Chief Revenue Officer.
"I truly believe the Philippines as a nation is poised towards digital transformation. Moving to the cloud is not the only solution. We need to continue to innovate continuously, and the cloud possibly makes or brings innovation to the users faster. There is a new term called hybrid cloud. There is going to be, in a customer landscape, a mixed breed. You're going to have some on premises application and infrastructure. You're going to have a private and public cloud. And that's a hybrid environment which is going to be the reality and which is already a reality in many enterprises," Sengupta added.
Sengupta is in charge of managing Cloud4C's 26 operations, which span 54 sites, and its 4,000 expanding customers. He has this interesting drive for fostering new firms to global scale.
