Telefonica Empresas Chile is implementing FalconStor’s data service software platform to offer migration, replication and high availability to customers looking to move data safely and securely.

With data service needs developing exponentially over the past few years, telecommunications companies are facing increasing challenges as they see their business shift increasingly from voice to digital. With a focus on services rather than products, Telefonica is leveraging FreeStor to offer cloud storage to customers and enterprises.

Luis Urzua, Digital Solutions Manager at Telefonica Empresas Chile, said: “FreeStor is easy to use and also very affordable for us and our customers. We are able to offer a converged storage ecosystem with a full suite of services. This is how Telefonica can help companies become intelligent enterprises, with collaborative tools that boost the creativity of employees through talent empowerment.”

FreeStor's horizontal architecture unlocks new storage opportunities, allowing IT managers, MSPs and CSPs to maximise efficiencies and lower costs while taking advantage of cloud, hybrid cloud, flash storage and Software-Defined Storage. A groundbreaking Intelligent Abstraction approach delivers seamless access and unified data services across entire storage infrastructures without having to invest in new technology, or rip and replace existing platforms. Always-on availability and continuity keep business running while enabling them to move, synchronise and protect data seamlessly across virtual and physical storage platforms.

“FreeStor helps solutions providers like Telefonica Empresas Chile shorten project timelines, minimise complexities and reduce costs of the data services they provide to their customers,” said Gary Quinn, FalconStor President and CEO. “By providing the migration, continuity, recovery and optimisation attributes they need to help them focus on the services their customers need, FreeStor is able to provide Telefonica with the greater efficiencies, reduced downtime, lower costs and improved simplicity required to do so.”
