岱凱贏得越南第一項思科整合運算系統訂單
虛擬化解決方案為軟體商TaxOnline的新資料中心簡化資源

Singapore, 14 Jan 2010 - Datacraft has clinched the first Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) deal in Vietnam for TaxOnline, a software vendor that offers customisable tax and accounting software solutions for individuals and businesses. The solution will consolidate data centre resources into a simplified server setup, to enable dynamic resource provisioning that will boost return on investment.

TaxOnline develops payroll, HR, administration and accounting solutions that can be easily accessed anytime and anywhere through an internet connection. To cope with the expansion of its online tax management product range, it needed to build a data centre that maximises resources, increases business agility and is scalable for future growth.

Maintaining large data centre resources can be costly and cumbersome, said Nguyen Phan Viet Thuy, CEO for TS24 (TFTS). We wanted a solution that would maximise the value of virtual environments by eliminating server sprawl and consolidating storage resources. Datacraft was able to craft a tailor-made solution that catered specifically to our requirements.

As the only partner certified in Vietnam to implement Cisco UCS, Datacraft has the advantage to propose a Cisco UCS Solution that is also coupled with NetApp storage. Through end-to-end provisioning and migration support, the next-generation UCS data centre platform will accelerate service delivery simply, reliably and securely, whilst the NetApp solution enables instant data backup and recovery, automated data management tasks and deduplication to maximise storage utilisation.

Cisco UCS is changing the economics of the data centre, said Lim Puay Koon, General Manager for Datacraft Vietnam. The number of devices can be radically reduced requiring less setup, management power, cooling and cabling. Through this streamlining of resources, the total cost of ownership is reduced whilst business agility is increased.

Datacraft leveraged its strong vendor relationships with both Cisco and NetApp to manage the project seamlessly and bring it to a successful conclusion.

Lim added, This is the first UCS implementation in Vietnam. TaxOnline could rely on our longstanding partnership with Cisco to ensure the swift delivery of this project.

Datacraft's ability to deliver advanced technology solutions has helped to strengthen its foothold in Vietnam, consolidating its position as a leading systems integrator throughout the region.
