PTCL to modernise data centres with Dell storage platforms

Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) announced on Tuesday it has formed a partnership with technology solutions provider DWP Technologies to modernize its data centre infrastructure with software-driven enterprise and mid-tier storage platforms from Dell Technologies.

PTCL said its modernisation project aims to upgrade its storage infrastructure to streamline its operations, boost operational efficiency, enhance performance, and ensure scalability to meet the growing data demands of its network.

Among the operational benefits promised by the upgrade include a significant reduction in PTCL's data centre footprint, along with its power and cooling requirements, leading to lower operational costs and greater energy efficiency, the telco said.

The upgraded infrastructure will also be designed to elevate PTCL's service delivery and operational effectiveness by incorporating a three-site active-active metro architecture. PTCL said this will enable it to maintain continuous service even during localized disruptions.

PTCL added that its current mission-critical platform and ecosystem that supports PTCL and Ufone4G spanning three sites using enterprise replication services (SRDF) will remain fully supported and maintained throughout the modernisation initiative with no service interruptions.

By modernizing our infrastructure, we are not only enhancing our operational capabilities but also reinforcing our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to our enterprise customers,” said Jafar Khalid, group chief technology and information officer for PTCL and Ufone 4G.
