Promoting Innovation in Big Data with IBM

In an ambitious bid to empower organizations in harnessing the power of big data, Logicalis, an IBM Premier Speciality Elite Partner, has been delivering more than just unmatched enterprise solutions. “We develop robust end-to-end big data solutions, helping clients through design implementation, and maintenance of IT infrastructure, making them capable of unleashing the full potential of IBM’s on-premise, hosted, and cloud offerings,” explains Mark Rogers, CEO at Logicalis. IBM and Logicalis work hand-in-hand to promote innovation in the data storage arena, simultaneously aiming to improve speed and simplify storage management and data security measures.

A subsidiary of Datatec Limited, Logicalis offers three significant categories of IBM Spectrum solutions. Starting with Power Cloud Solutions, the company helps its clients implement cloud computing industry best practices, thereby assisting them in outlining strategies and deploying suitable models for optimal results. The second one is Server and Storage Virtualisation Solutions specifically built to bring down server maintenance costs. Added to these, the third is Storage Solutions, which enhance the security in information-centric environments to remain prepared for security breaches as well as ever-increasing data storage demands. “Our Data & Information Insights team are adept in financial performance management (FPM) and Business Intelligence technologies, allowing clients to stay in control of their IT departments even after deploying IBM Solutions,” states Rogers.

Users can integrate SAP HANA on IBM Power Systems, all the while incorporating systems storage platforms and QRadar SIEM via data centres seamlessly.

Boasting of a diverse clientele, the Logicalis Group has its offices in Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Africa. The company is dedicated to engaging in the dynamics of its clients’ vertical markets such as financial, telecommunications, media & technology (TMT), education, healthcare, retail, manufacturing & professional services, and government services. In doing so, Logicalis has grown capable of revamping data centre and cloud services, security and network infrastructure, and similar other digital infrastructures, thanks to the accumulated expertise of its employees.

What makes Logicalis unique in the industry is the way its employees are trained to dive deep into the data storage challenges faced by any client. Interacting closely with the vendors, managers make sure the employees undergo thorough training in order to serve clients in a better manner and develop long-term relationships. Logicalis’s Group-wide leadership development programme has been successfully shaping leaders of tomorrow in order to guide young experts in coping with the ever-changing big data landscape.

That’s not all; considering its responsibility in contributing to a more sustainable planet, the team at Logicalis seeks to evaluate and minimise carbon emission into the environment while developing IT solutions and simultaneously aiming for greater flexibility in the workflow, along with accelerated productivity and profitability. “Logicalis is one of the early adopters of the Green IT concept in its workplace and has committed to taking a more practical approach toward reducing both greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as well as the operational and maintenance costs in the infrastructure,” says Rogers with pride. The company has also teamed up with non-profit organisations in order to support children from the poverty belts around the world.
