JCC

The challenge

JCC Payment Systems decided to renew its aging storage infrastructure with a modern solution. They needed significant performance and availability benefits compared to their previous infrastructure.

Opportunities

The primary objective was to be able to run business operations more efficiently while reducing operational cost. Furthermore, they needed to implement an active/active datacentre solution as far as the storage infrastructure was concerned, to meet business continuity needs as specified by JCC’s business units.

Our partners in this case

Results
