Spectrami, a prominent value added distributor in the MENA region recently conducted a successful training workshop on copy data management in association with Actifio, the Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) platform company.
The workshop focused on the challenges faced by large organisations and enterprises across the Middle East region to counter the growing menace of copy data management at a rapid pace, which is spiralling the cost of managing storage out of control.
Experts from both Spectrami and Actifio presided over the sessions. Steven Blumenau, worldwide head of sales for Actifio presided over the workshop, which was attended by several key partners STME, ISIT, Wipro among others.
Anand Choudha, MD, Spectrami, said, “This workshop is as part of Spectrami strategy to work closely with its partners and does knowledge transfer for them to be able to support the customers in presales and post-sale implementations with an objective to create a strong ecosystem of partners for Actifio in the region.”
This initiative was the first in the series to be held across the region in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman among others.
The workshops focus on updating the company’s channel partners about the latest global trends in the storage space and how Actifio with its breakthrough Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) technology platform can help their customer particularly large organisations and enterprises reduce their storage cost by 90%.
Recently, Gartner rated Actifio, Protection and Availability Storage (PAS) platform as the new ground breaking technology in copy data management and named Actifio a ‘Cool Vendor’ in Storage Technology for the year 2012.
