Puleng Technologies has recently been appointed as a local reseller of VirtualSharp software.
“If you look at our offering, it overlays the VirtualSharp software product offerings with our architecture and skills sets, so it is an ideal business partnership that will enable us to deliver their technologies into the South African marketplace,” says Business Development Director Steve James.
By partnering to provide solutions, VirtualSharp and Puleng see significant opportunity in the South African market to give organisations the disaster recovery automation they have been waiting for across virtualised data centres.
The solution, along with Puleng Professional Services, enables customers to have a comprehensive data recovery strategy, which enables disaster recovery runbooks to be fully automated, such that they run without any human intervention and without impacting production systems.
Disaster recovery testing is a complex and time-consuming task that typically requires many separate steps to be followed precisely, in order to fully test the recoverability of a business application or IT service. Storage systems, networking systems, servers, operating systems and applications must all be started in the correct sequence, and finally tested, to ensure everything is fully recovered and working as expected.
Disaster Recovery Assurance leverages the synergies between the virtualisation layer and advanced storage arrays. Essentially, Disaster Recovery Assurance enables the automated enforcement of RPOs and the continuous measurement and compliance of RTOs.
“VirtualSharp is very pleased to have Puleng as a reseller partner in South Africa,” said Michael Hillewaert, VP, international sales, at VirtualSharp. “The Puleng and VirtualSharp partnership will give South African customers access to key local technical skills and a Disaster Recover Assurance technology that eliminates the complexity and ongoing costs typically associated with traditional DR testing, by fully automating DR test processes and procedures, to enable DR testing to be performed on a daily or even hourly basis, without the need for human intervention.”
James says Puleng offers its customers a component-based roadmap to achieving Service Infrastructure Automation, which delivers value to both operations and business divisions.
The market is demanding technical excellence and technologies that can enable businesses to leverage a flexible and agile architecture that is available anytime and from anywhere. Disaster Recovery Assurance accelerates the recovery time for business applications and IT services, usually to within a matter of minutes. To ensure that recovery times are measurable and predictable, strict RTO SLA policies can be configured and enforced via policy, while ensuring corporate compliance and governance. Puleng is about driving solutions that will meet the requirements of business through emerging technologies that address automation, control and governance.
Puleng Technologies is a proudly South African business that specialises in Service Infrastructures Automation solutions. Puleng has always had the ambition of providing offerings that were complemented and differentiated by the accompaniment of South Africa's leading technical specialist skills within specific IT disciplines.
