Acquisition of IDC Global Networks Provides GBS Enterprises, Inc. (GBSX) Infrastructure to Deliver Customized Computing Solutions

GBS Enterprises, Inc., a global software and services company specializing in cloud automation, application modernization, and messaging security and compliance, announced recently that it has acquired IDC Global Networks to improve its infrastructure so it can offer corporate clients a true end-to-end solution regardless of platform.

IDC Global Networks, a privately held company based in the US and UK, delivers customized, high availability technology solutions for co-location, hosting, managed services, network security, WAN, and wireless services. The acquisition of IDC will help GBS customers make the transition from large, costly on-premise computing centers to dynamic, flexible and cost-effective off-premise computing solutions. Without the need to dedicate on-site hardware for temporary or intermittent processing jobs, customers will be able to reduce cost and increase efficiency.

GBS will now market under the label “GROUP Live”, a robust product to help software vendors and corporate customers to cloud-enable their solutions regardless of what platform they were developed on by providing leading data center expertise, knowledge, and capabilities. The IDC acquisition also enables GROUP Live to extend its offering into the areas of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) as well as hosting/out-sourcing capabilities for its customer base. GBS will now also be able to provide its IBM Lotus Software customers a turn-key solution for their entire Lotus Notes/Domino environment: from system performance enhancements, to modernizing the Domino apps, and finally to a complete hosted or remote managed Lotus infrastructure.

“IDC Global is a perfect fit for us. It provides our customers the best choices in managed, hosting and cloud computing services, new revenue streams for our stakeholders and allows us to extend beyond Lotus,” said GBS’s CEO, Joerg Ott, in a press release yesterday.
