Digital Devices Reselling Fujitsu and Quantum in UK

With data growth, Digital Devices Ltd, a UK-based company, has placed special focus on data storage solutions to better equip their customers.

Partnering with Fujitsu Ltd and Quantum Corporation, Digital Devices is offering customers a range of storage solutions from enterprise and SME to customized solutions. It provides storage solutions to businesses including tape systems, virtual server data protection, tiered storage, object storage and big data management.

Ali Ameen, business development manager, Digital Devices, says: “Before creating our partnership with Fujitsu and Quantum, we were offering data storage solutions from other big name vendors. However, in a rapidly changing data growth environment, our focus is to provide our diverse customer base more agile and cost effective data storage offering. As each customer and their operational requirements are unique; we need to provide a better overall solution which keeps the capex within budget while providing long term benefits.”

In scale-out storage, archive and data protection, Quantum provides solutions for capturing, sharing and preserving digital assets over the data lifecycle. It works with SMBs to major enterprises with more than 100,000 customers trusting Quantum to address their workflow challenges.

“We’re pleased that Digital Devices have decided to make us one of its trusted partners,” said Christo Conidaris, regional sales director, Quantum. “They’ll be utilising Quantum’s disk and tape-based data protection and archiving solutions to help it enhance and build on its current storage offering.”

Frank Reichart, director of storage product marketing, global marketing, Fujitsu, says: “Incredible data growth has created huge challenges for storage professionals in guaranteeing uninterrupted access to business data and maintaining differentiated server levels to various lines of business. Based on a business centric-storage approach, Fujitsu continuously introduces innovation for its Eternus storage products enabling the company to provide better service levels while reducing operational efforts and costs.”

Data growth increases the amount of data hosted by individual storage systems which consequently exposes businesses to a higher impact from planned or unplanned system downtime. The Eternus storage cluster technology offers application-transparent failover from one storage array to another in the event that one system stops performing. The failover can be triggered automatically in case of system failures, or can be executed manually for maintenance or minor failures. By mirroring data in real time and switching transparently from one system to the other, the data assets are protected and business processes are safe from any interruption.

Ameen concludes: “We are confident that our extensive product offering, pre-sales consultancy, including solution architecture, and post-sales support will give our customers the confidence to take the next step in their organizations growth.”
