EMC recently addressed Qatar's business decision-makers on
how can EMC help them have a flexible and efficient IT environment by realizing
the full potential and advanced functionality of virtualization solutions from
VMware. Executives in Doha
heard how they can use virtualization solutions to pool storage capacity
together and create a more effective data protection environment. They also heard how EMC
content-enabled solutions can help them bring unstructured content into the
process.
According to an IDC white paper, sponsored by EMC and
released early this year -The Diverse and Exploding Digital Universe: An
Updated Forecast of Worldwide Information Growth through 2011 - the amount of
digital information being created is growing at close to 60 percent annually.
Consequently, organizations are faced with the challenge to sustain their information
infrastructures to match the growth of information while keeping costs down.
"Qatar's
businesses are under intense pressure to show the returns on their IT
investments, and by incorporating virtualization solutions they can ensure
markedly improved utilization of existing data storage systems. As companies' information can be
expected to almost double annually because of email and customer data, the market
is rapidly transforming. Through our wide range of offerings for virtualized
information infrastructure, we can help Qatari companies reduce IT costs while
improving efficiency, availability, flexibility, and manageability of their
information infrastructure," said Qais Gharaibeh, General Manager, EMC
Gulf & Levant.
Virtualization requires more than just server consolidation,
it requires storage, back up, archiving and recovery solutions that deliver the
high availability and flexibility a virtualized environment needs. EMC's
complete storage system enables customers to realize the full value of
virtualization and is fully tested and proven in numerous VMware deployments.
EMC offers customers and prospects in Qatar
and around the Middle East, who are looking to
leverage VMware's award-winning technology, tested and qualified interoperable
solutions with VMware that can deliver scalability and five nines (99.999%)
availability.
Regardless of the size of the business, the proven
technology of virtualization can rapidly transform the IT landscape and help
organizations overcome their operational challenges.
