Indian enterprise and consumer Internet services leader Sify Technologies has launched what is arguably the country’s first Consumer Cloud Services Platform. Called Sify mylife, it promises to enable a digital lifestyle encompassing communication, education, travel, entertainment and utilities, with enhanced cyber security.

While Sify e-ports (cybercafes) are already cloud-access-ready, any of the 1.6 lakh shared internet access points in India like cybercafes can also connect to Sify mylife either through a Sify Broadband connection or a specially designed ‘Sify Edge device’.
Sify mylife will soon be accessible through Sify Home Broadband, Sify.com, mobile phones and the Cloud connection device.

Raju Vegesna, Chairman and Managing Director, Sify Technologies Ltd, says, “Sify owns and operates some of India’s largest and most advanced Data Centres and is a recognized leader in Enterprise Cloud services. It is this knowledge and expertise that we are bringing to the common man. Sify mylife is a platform that will offer multiple services to our end consumers through our rich eco-system of cybercafes, advertisers and partners.”

Natesh Mani, President – Consumer Infrastructure Business, Sify Technologies Ltd,adds: “Connecting to Sify mylife will make a cybercafe a one-stop shop for several lifestyle needs of its existing and potential consumers and open up multiple revenue streams. The next-generation avatar of cybercafes will offer a host of services that will soon be extended to the company’s Broadband and Portal customers.”

Sify mylife allows lay users to: get a host of digital lifestyle offerings from one window: ticket bookings, mobile recharge, online tests, bill payments, ISD calls, gaming, etc; pay cash for online transactions without online payments or credit card requirements.
