Pretoria, 03 Dec 2014
Trustlink today announced its partnership with Vision Solutions, premier provider of software solutions designed to protect data, minimise downtime and maximise resources for the modern data centre.
Vision Solutions partnered with Trustlink to distribute the Double-Take Solution Suite in the sub-Saharan region. Vision Solutions and Trustlink see a market opportunity to provide African organisations with solutions to integrate, automate, secure and manage their data.
Trustlink is a leading provider of innovative solutions and services that enable customers to enhance information exchange and business process integration and is a leading SWIFT Service Bureau in Africa. Vision Solutions' Double-Take Solution Suite makes it easy for organisations to adopt cloud-based disaster recovery strategies, perform risk-free, near-zero downtime server migrations, share data in real-time across platforms and make applications and the servers they run on highly resilient. Combined with the Trustlink's innovative B2B IT solutions, this partnership provides a strong platform to deliver flexible and customer-focused data management solutions to end users in this market.
When Trustlink went looking for an availability solution it opted for one that was recognised by the SWIFT community: Double-Take Availability. During its test of the solution, Trustlink completed a successful failover to the backup environment in record time. The failover was so successful that the company decided to stay on the backup system longer than planned.
Trustlink is certain that Double-Take Availability successfully protects the availability of its critical SWIFT server because it rigorously tested the solution itself and has now implemented it and plans to roll it out to servers in other areas of the company's business. "Double-Take Availability allows failovers to happen quickly, easily and accurately and provides complete peace of mind. We knew this was a solution that we wanted to bring to our customers because we understand the importance of their data to their business and we know the value it has brought to us," said Dave Elliott, Executive Manager, Solutions for Trustlink.
"The partnership with Trustlink builds on our existing Double-Take footprint and extends a comprehensive solution offering to the African market," said Alexander Trekin, Regional Director, Russia, CIS and ESA for Vision Solutions. "Vision Solutions has taken a strategic view of the African market and Trustlink is well positioned in this territory and business area to deliver these solutions at optimal value."
"Through the partnership with Vision Solutions, Trustlink will be able to extend its solution offering to our existing customer base and unlock new business opportunities based on the Double-Take solution set," said Tertius Vermeulen, CEO of Trustlink. "In Double-Take, we see a cutting-edge technology well suited to provide the African market with the means to ensure data integrity and security. This fits perfectly with Trustlink's vision to provide a best-of-breed solutions in the region.
