 "Torres Selects IBM PureSystems As Test Platform")
Torres Networks, the carrier-grade software provider required a test environment with assured uniformity in servers within their testing and deployment lab. After a detailed selection procedure covering all major vendors, Torres selected IBM PureSystems as the test platform for their solutions.
Products from Torres Network enable mobile and wire-line operators to scale their networks inexpensively (while sustaining or enhancing subscriber experience), and in turn create new opportunities for monetisation of carrier assets and optimisation of network resources. Testing their software applications for large scale use under varied parameters becomes critical before deployment.
IBM is expanding its cloud ecosystem with a set of global initiatives, enabling organisations to develop solutions and services on IBM PureSystems, built on open standards. As more clients embrace cloud computing, they are looking to MSPs to help them quickly develop cloud based services in a more simplistic, secure and economical way and MSPs are increasingly turning to IBM PureSystems to provide the IT infrastructure that meets the needs of their clients.
The IBM PureSystem solution brings together the infrastructure and application layer with proven patterns and can be optimised by Torres to meet its specific needs, providing all infrastructure elements required to run the workloads in a single system. PureSystems will provide the perfect test platform during the product development stage.
“Our need for the latest, scalable IT infrastructure for consistent results for testing our solutions while ensuring high performance was crucial,” said V.Jude Pragash, Director - Engineering, Torres Networks. “We decided to do complete hardware overhaul based on IBM’s smarter computing approach to IT and IBM PureSystems offered a highly scalable platform that met the needs of our customers and was also manageable from remote locations.”
“IBM is committed to the success of companies like Torres Networks, as we view these companies as engines of global economic growth and innovation.
