Yupi.com, one of the world`s largest Spanish-language networks of Internet sites announced today it has installed EMC Enterprise Storage as the foundation of their Internet infrastructure to ensure continuous access to critical business information. EMC Corporation is the world`s leading provider of enterprise storage systems, software, networks and services.
"Yupi.com has implemented EMC technology as a core part of our infrastructure with the expectation that our services can build and grow around their products," said Carlos Cardona, founder and CTO of Yupi.com. "EMC Enterprise Storage ensures our site is accessible and available to Yupi.com users and gives us the confidence to manage large amounts of data and traffic without disruption."
EMC Enterprise Storage systems and software allows Yupi.com to consolidate information generated by its users and to support its mission critical applications. One particular application, user registration, has allowed Yupi.com to better track and target its end-users activities for more strategic online advertising, enabling them to make quick and informed decisions on how to optimize their online marketing efforts.
"The explosive growth of the Internet has forced many companies to re-evaluate their IT infrastructures," said Mark Ward, EMC`s Vice President of Global Marketing. "Yupi recognized this challenge at the start and is building its infrastructure from the ground up on EMC Enterprise Storage. By providing Yupi with a stable, yet flexible information infrastructure to better manage, protect and share their mission critical information, EMC is enabling them [Yupi] to provide uninterrupted service to their customers."
Yupi.com has installed EMC Symmetrix Enterprise Storage coupled with EMC TimeFinder software for continuous, frequent online backups without disruption. In addition, Yupi.com has also installed EMC Symmetrix Manager to ensure performance and management and EMC PowerPath(tm) software for load balancing and failover.
