Telecom EMC for consolidation, business continuity
EMC the world leader in information infrastructure solutions,
announced that Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT), Sri Lanka’s premier
telecommunication services provider, has implemented EMC storage and
services to consolidate and manage the vast amount of customer
information generated by its operations, more cost-effectively and with
greater reliability.
EMC’s information management and storage solutions will also provide
robust Business Continuity to enable non-disruptive operations for SLT.
This announcement comes soon after EMC launched its operations in Sri
Lanka in August last year.
In order to meet their growing information needs, SLT opted for EMC(r)
Symmetrix(r) DMX-3, a high-performance storage area network (SAN) system
to consolidate information across their organization and recover
critical information in case of disaster.
SLT has also deployed EMC Centera(r) and EMC DiskExtender(r) software
to enable policy-based archival in order to meet various information
security and regulatory compliance requirements.
CITO, Sri Lanka Telecom Ltd. D.W.R Wijeweera said “As SLT’s
subscriber base grew exponentially, we were challenged by the
corresponding explosion in digital information generated by our
customers.
Not only did we need to consolidate all this information, but we also
needed to ensure that our information was always available even in the
case of natural or manmade disasters such as Tsunami and terrorist
attacks.
We evaluated the various options in the market and picked EMC for
their information-centric approach and the scalability and IT investment
protection their solutions offered.
The feedback on EMC’s customer support from other EMC customers also
reinforced our choice,” he added.
President, EMC India and SAARC Manoj Chugh said, “The explosive
growth of digital information is driving growing companies like SLT to
adopt effective strategies to store, protect, optimize and leverage
their critical information.
The telecommunications vertical has emerged as one of the biggest
adopters of information infrastructure solutions for EMC globally and we
are honored to partner with Sri Lanka Telecom to build an intelligent
information infrastructure for the nation. Sri Lanka is a strategic
growth market for EMC and we look forward to build on our early success
in the market”, he added. |
