NetApp SolidFire, the provider of all-flash storage systems built for the next-generation data centre, has announced that Globe Telecom, a full-service telecommunications company in the Philippines, through its Globe Business group, has deployed NetApp SolidFire's all-flash storage platform to support its virtual private cloud and dedicated private cloud offerings.
Globe Business provides an entire suite of products and services for mobile, fixed, broadband, data connections, Internet and managed services. With its own network of data centres around the country, Globe Business prides itself on continuously improving value-added services for its customers.
In order to accelerate its cloud offerings and give it an even better competitive edge, Globe Business turned to NetApp SolidFire to modernise its data centre infrastructure. With NetApp SolidFire's automated, scalable infrastructure, Globe Business' internal and external customers can meet their storage capacity and performance needs at a cost two to three times lower than before.
Thanks to its volume-level quality of service (QoS), Globe Business can deliver guaranteed, fast and predictable performance to its customers. With NetApp SolidFire's scale-out design, customers can scale and control performance and capacity without downtime or disruption. Utilising NetApp SolidFire's always-on data-at-rest encryption and real-time replication, customer data always stays safe and secure.
The NetApp SolidFire platform is integrated with VMware vSphere via its REST-based application programming interface (API), allowing for complete automation, instant provisioning and end-to-end monitoring. These features, in combination with NetApp SolidFire's data reduction capabilities, enable Globe Business to realise significant cost-savings that translate into competitive pricing options for its customers. In addition, NetApp SolidFire's partner AISC assisted Globe Business with solution positioning and continues to provide vendor support.
"With its flexibility and cost efficiency, more and more companies in the Philippines are taking advantage of cloud computing. As they demand higher performance versus just capacity, we realised that adding more disks to the rack was too expensive and inefficient," said Mike Frausing, Globe Senior Advisor for Enterprise and IT Enabled Services Group. "With NetApp SolidFire's all-flash scale-out architecture, our customers have confidence that we can meet their needs for guaranteed levels of performance. We can offer reliable cloud services at a better price, providing a competitive - and a domestic - alternative to foreign cloud providers."
"With storage infrastructure fuelled by NetApp SolidFire, Globe Business can now deliver services with the speed and agility demanded by their customers," said Stuart Oliver, Global Service Provider Programs Manager at NetApp SolidFire. "By deploying NetApp SolidFire's all-flash storage, Globe Business was able to build its next-generation cloud service environment to successfully serve the cloud and hosting needs of its customers and a become a disruptor in an increasingly competitive market."
"The telecom market in the Philippines is among the most vibrant and innovative in Asia Pacific region with service providers offering innovative data services to help businesses and consumers successfully embark into IDC's 3rd Platform era," said Rajnish Arora, Vice President, Enterprise Computing, IDC Asia/Pacific. "By providing differentiated services like guaranteed performance and scale-out storage, cloud service providers gain a significant edge over their competition and are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of the most demanding customers."
