Greenwich pioneers Next Generation Storage from Dell Equallogic

Identifying the undisputable business and technological benefits of unified storage, Greenwich Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. implements the Dell Equallogic storage platform, the world leader of Storage Area Networking (SAN) at Industrial Clothing Limited and its affiliated companies, a leading manufacturer of Safety Gloves and Shoes in Sri Lanka.

Dell Equallogic is a revolutionary SAN architecture which formulates the centralized data storage of virtualized datacenters and delivers advanced storage functionality with a highly scalable and remarkably economical storage appliance portfolio that offers “real” investment protection for organizations that plan data storage acquisitions.

Sumeda Gunarathna, Head of ICT, Industrial Clothing Limited in Sri Lanka highlighted, “Our decision to go with Dell Equallogic is based on a number of variables. Dell Equallogic’s simplicity and open ecosystem approach to storage management will allow us to enhance our functionality across our environments through interoperability, scalability, expandability and the support of cross platform environments.”

Suran Fonseka, CEO of Greenwich elaborated, “Green IT, energy efficiency and flexibility are important goals for IT organizations today. It is our objective to help our clients meet these goals by simplifying datacenter operations. We believe the solution provided to Industrial Clothing Ltd. will help them extract maximum business value through this resilient and flexible datacenter while providing the capability to connect across platforms.”

Generally, data is often duplicated and ill handled while provisioning multiple storage capacities distributed across the datacenters will total up to alarming amounts of storage volumes wasted and paid for. Now with Dell EqualLogic Storage Area Networking, enterprise organizations can leverage upon it and extend a unified storage platform to provision dynamic and demanding storage requirements of ever growing server hosts and end users. The Dell EqualLogic storage management has provision capacities to connect all existing servers in the datacenter to one appliance. From an investment’s perspective the idea is to reduce TCO and increase ROI of any business that’s suffering from non consolidated and expensive storage management. The datacenter offers 99.999% protection which is tested and proven across continents. The provisioning of storage is done seamlessly on workloads originating from different servers and applications while the storage processes are dynamically distributed between storage volumes without IT administrator intervention.

Greenwich is a fully owned subsidiary of PCH, and is one of the leading ICT solutions providers in the country. Having started off with unmatched expertise in areas such as HRM and payroll solutions, point of sales solutions and time and attendance management solutions, Greenwich has now grown to become a leader in providing advanced systems integration, server and storage virtualization solutions and business applications. Greenwich will continuously invest in its virtualization and unified communication practices, two of the most popular areas in ICT requirements for corporates at present.
