DTG Opts for Proact Storage

DTG (formerly De
Telefoongids telephone book and Gouden Gids yellow pages and a trading name of De Telefoongids BV) has just signed an
agreement with Proact IT Group AB for the supply,
implementation and support of a new storage environment.

This will give DTG the flexibility to cope with the growth of data and
performance over the next five years.

DTG wanted to consolidate its existing storage
environments into one platform. One important factor for the success of this is
the performance and availability of the new online applications on a solid
platform. The complete solution that Proact is delivering consists of a NetApp
environment equipped with several tiers consisting of Fusion-io SSD, SAS and
SATA.

"Previously DTG used various storage solutions,
including a NetApp 3020/3050. The choice of the NetApp is largely determined by
our good experience with this equipment in the past and the possibility of
porting administrative routines for our core applications directly," said Rein
Möchgesang, DTG project manager storage.

Lucas den Os, MD Proact Benelux, says: "DTG has a clear vision of how the IT
environment of the organisation has to support the business in its
transformation into an online marketing services company. The solution we
offered gives DTG outstanding performance, reliability and above all the
flexibility that the organisation demands."

Proact is supplying a complete solution, including
services and 24×7 support from NetApp for the hardware and software.
