Bangalore: Macquarie Telecom has spent more than $1 million on EMC storage and automation tools to support its private cloud hosting services, reports iTWire. Macquarie will use EMC CLARiiON networked storage to host the customers' digital media content, which includes mission critical web applications and e-commerce websites and EMC Ionix IT management software to simplify and automate management of its virtual and physical infrastructure. Macquarie's Managing Director, hosting, Aiden Tudehope said, "There is a growing demand for managed cloud computing-based services. One of the key value points of EMC's proposal was the synergy between its storage offering and its range of automation tools." He added, "We are expecting to realize savings of more than $260,000 over the next three years through the reduction of operational costs with the Ionix infrastructure and service management solutions. Another important benefit is that it will enable us to continually improve our customer service levels."
