EMC’s first global partner to deploy ViPR as part of its own worldwide service delivery capability
Dimension Data is all buckled-up to use EMC® ViPR® and ViPR SRM in the delivery of its own Managed Service for Storage, enabling intelligent storage management for clients globally.
The addition of EMC’s ViPR products enables 24/7 access to the tools and services required for effective and proactive storage provisioning, orchestration, management and reporting across multiple vendors’ storage technologies.
In a 2013 forecast, research firm IDC estimated that enterprises will spend USD 6.5 billion on storage in 2015. Based on IDC’s calculations, capital expenses for data storage account for only 20% of the cost. The true cost of storage comes from other operational factors.
Steve Joubert, Group Executive, Data Centres at Dimension Data said, ““This means that, on average, for every dollar organisations spend on storage, a further four dollars are spent on the operational elements of managing stored data,”
Manuvir Das, Senior Vice President, Advanced Software, Emerging Technologies Division, EMC Corporation said “Dimension Data has the expertise to help organisations drive business transformation, and this initiative brings together their services with EMC’s ViPR and ViPR SRM technologies to help clients take full advantage of automated storage services to increase operational efficiencies.”
