In a significant new corporate partnership, pan-Asia cloud infrastructure network platform Lightstorm has teamed up with Console Connect, a principal Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider. The collaboration will enable smooth, worldwide connectivity to the cloud and IT resources through more than 180 data centres across India, Indonesia, the US, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and other markets.
