Bharti Airtel is said to launch customised cloud computing services for small and medium business enterprises. The company is partnering Hewlett Packard (HP) for the new offerings. The new partnership with HP would provide infrastructure-as-a-service and software-as-a-service to small businesses of sizes as low as five employees in a company to 500 people.

Najib Khan, Chief Marketing Officer - Airtel business, said, "We have three focused areas - global, enterprise and government, and SMBs - to provide them solutions. Through different suites, we become their chief information officers on cloud to collaborate. The entire suite would be available now for connectivity, load applications, take care of data centres and managed services, and enable them on cloud. The information technology team of companies would not have to worry on shared infrastructure as Airtel would use its own data centres situated in the country."

Amrita Gangotra, Director- IT India & South Asia, Bharti Airtel, said, "Cloud enablement platform powered by HP would also be a value preposition for value-added services partners through mobile phones. Any industry can use such solutions through mobile phones and going forward, we are targeting industry specific customers on mEducation, mHealth and advertising."
