Orbus Software Secures FedRAMP 'In Process' Designation
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise transformation platform provider Orbus Software today announced that its cloud-native platform built for the US public sector, OrbusInfinity Government, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 'In Process' status, bringing a secure, dedicated enterprise architecture platform to the FedRAMP Marketplace. FedRAMP authorization is a legal requirement for federal agencies, ensuring that any cloud service provider working with federal data meets strict security standards. While state and local governments are not mandated to use FedRAMP – since they fall outside federal law – they often look to FedRAMP as a benchmark for cloud security. Many state and local agencies adopt solutions in the FedRAMP Marketplace to benefit from the program's rigorous controls and to streamline their own procurement and risk management processes. OrbusInfinity Government's 'In Process' status marks an important milestone in the platform's journey toward achieving an Authority to Operate (ATO) and FedRAMP Moderate. Reaching Moderate ATO indicates that a solution meets the stringent security requirements for use by any federal agency storing and processing sensitive but unclassified data. Government departments are often held back by security requirements that leave them years behind the private sector, limited budgets, and decades-old technology stacks, all while striving to modernize and accelerate service delivery. An enterprise transformation platform with core capabilities in enterprise architecture, OrbusInfinity Government provides a digital blueprint of the organization, helping align IT investments with mission goals. 'The government sector is grappling with shrinking budgets while addressing ever-expanding security challenges,' said Peter Bates, Chief Product Officer at Orbus Software. 'Cloud solutions provide a way to operate efficiently and adapt quickly. However, agencies need assurance that their mission-critical data and sensitive information are safe. With OrbusInfinity Government designated as FedRAMP 'In Process', government organizations now have a trusted platform to successfully manage complex change and drive government IT and operational efficiency.' Key benefits of OrbusInfinity Government's FedRAMP status include: Industry-leading enterprise architecture capabilities for federal government: OrbusInfinity Government delivers specialist enterprise architecture functionality that enables government agencies to modernize operations, break down silos, and make smarter, faster decisions. Teams can use it to drive cost reduction, accelerate project delivery, and maximize the impact of transformation initiatives. Best-in-class SaaS security controls: Hosted in a secure Microsoft Azure for US Government tenancy, OrbusInfinity Government offers robust, end-to-end security and real-time threat detection to protect the sensitive data of US government departments, and safeguard repositories, artifacts, and blueprints in compliance with federal security standards. Streamlined procurement and deployment: For federal agencies, the FedRAMP Marketplace acts like an 'approved vendor list', reducing the time, effort, and costs required for individual government agencies to vet cloud service providers, and accelerating procurement and deployment. State and local government organizations can also leverage the FedRAMP status to simplify and expedite their own purchasing processes. Risk reduction: The secure cloud-based enterprise architecture platform enables users to gain full transparency into risks, misaligned priorities, and inefficiencies across the business and technical landscape. Government departments can develop actionable roadmaps to mitigate cybersecurity risks, track compliance, accelerate recovery, and provide an auditable trail for every decision. 'With cybercrime showing no sign of slowing, government agencies must ensure that data is secure,' said Oliver Hecquer, Chief Operating Officer at Orbus Software. 'Now, they can more easily and quickly procure and deploy an innovative transformation platform that meets their comprehensive privacy, security, and compliance needs.' Orbus Software is a leading global provider of enterprise transformation solutions, with regional offices in USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Singapore, and Poland. It aims to empower customers with a strategic decision-making platform to successfully manage complex change. The cloud-native OrbusInfinity platform enables leaders to deliver business objectives, innovate faster, and ensure enterprise resiliency, while supporting them to make more informed, responsible, and sustainable business decisions.

Zilliz Cloud Expands Global Footprint with New Azure Region in Central India
New region empowers customers to meet data sovereignty, regulatory, low-latency, and cost-efficiency goals when building AI applications. REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zilliz, the company behind the most popular open-source vector database Milvus, today announced the availability of a new Zilliz Cloud region in Azure Central India, further expanding its global infrastructure. This new region enables customers—from fast-moving startups to global enterprises—to build and scale AI applications while ensuring data locality, regulatory compliance, low-latency performance, and lower cloud costs. With data residency becoming a critical requirement for many businesses operating in India and nearby markets, the new Azure Central India region provides developers with greater control over where their data lives, without compromising on performance or budget. "Developers rely on Zilliz Cloud every day to build and scale AI applications more quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively," said Charles Xie, CEO at Zilliz. "By adding a new region in India, we're helping customers reduce cross-border data transfer costs and latency, while also simplifying compliance with local regulations. It's a win-win for both innovation and infrastructure spend." Global Infrastructure with Local Performance Zilliz Cloud now operates across 26 cloud regions globally, making it one of the most geographically distributed vector database platforms available. The Central India region joins key international deployments across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Key international regions include: This expansion makes it simple for organizations to optimize for latency, locality, and cost, all while scaling to support billions of vector embeddings and the most demanding GenAI workloads. With auto-scaling, usage-based pricing, and deployment flexibility across providers, Zilliz Cloud helps teams reduce operational overhead and focus on building AI features that deliver value. Companies like Sarvam, a leading AI startup building multilingual models in India, exemplify the demanding performance requirements driving this expansion."We needed a system that could handle real-time retrieval over millions of knowledge vectors without breaking under load," said Dr. Pratyush Kumar, Co-Founder of Sarvam. "Zilliz gave us that. It freed up engineering cycles and let us focus on improving reasoning on the model side, not managing infrastructure." Now Available to All The Azure Central India region is now live and available to all Zilliz Cloud customers. Organizations can immediately begin deploying clusters in the new region through the Zilliz Cloud console.
