According to IBM, the new IBM blade server and storage virtualization platform, which replaces the previously installed HP system, will help Iskon to remove system bottlenecks, streamline internal processes and help ensure uninterrupted service for customers. The system will also have the capacity to support Iskon's business growth, enabling it to introduce new services securely, quickly and in-line with increases in available bandwidth.

IBM has said that Iskon has turned to it to help overhaul its infrastructure by deploying energy-efficient IBM blade servers in a BladeCenter chassis. Iskon also selected an IBM Storage System DS5300 and San Volume Controller for the storage, back-up and archiving of data.

Sasa Kramar, CEO of Iskon, said: “We strive to offer high-quality, reliable and secure services to our customers, while at the same time ensuring internal efficiencies for our company. Another important consideration is the environmental impact of our systems and the IBM technologies we have chosen benefit from lower power consumption.”

Kreso Perica, general manager at IBM Croatia, said: “Our clients recognise that in today's business environment, technology can provide a valuable competitive edge and help them to differentiate. IBM infrastructure offers a host of new features and functionality, making it the ideal platform to run next-generation applications and paving the way for new possibilities in the telecommunications industry.”

Will this move benefit both the firms?
