Paramount, a provider of products and services for securing the information assets of enterprises in the Middle East, has teamed up with VirtualizeIT, to offer cost-effective, carbon efficient and agile IT infrastructure solutions to companies in the region.

VirtualizeIT is a company with an eight year track record of providing virtualization technology in Europe.

Paramount will offer a range of award winning strategic services that involve consultancy, design, implementation and after-care of an optimized virtual infrastructure.

Commenting on the tie-up, Premchand Kurup, CEO Paramount, said, "We are happy to partner with a market leader like VirtualizeIT and leverage their expertise to the benefit of customers in the region."

"In the current economic environment where organizations are actively trying to cut costs, improve asset utilisation and operational efficiencies and are demanding more flexibility from their IT infrastructure, virtualization is the key to achieving these objectives," Kurup remarked.

"The Middle East market holds a great amount of potential for adoption of this technology as businesses in the region are slowly beginning to understand the incredible cost savings and other merits of implementing virtualization solutions,” he added.

Virtualization represents a strategic opportunity to organizations to transform their typically static tactical information systems into agile, scalable and resilient dynamic platforms that are aligned to the business and operational directives.

Virtualization is both a technology and an operational discipline that enables greater efficiency and productivity over non-virtualized environments.

Essentially organizations considering virtualization need to ensure that people, process and technology have all been considered and aligned to enable a successful transformation.

“VirtualizeIT is excited about the opportunity of partnering with Paramount Computer Systems in the delivery of highly efficient, resilient and secure virtualized infrastructures to clients across the region," said Julian Box, Managing Director, VirtualizeIT.

"Paramount realized that specialist expertise is required as virtualisation needs to be looked at on a strategic rather than tactical basis in order to realise its true potential," he noted.

“Working in partnership with Paramount we look forward to the prospect of enabling more organisations in the region to dramatically reduce their physical computer hardware requirements and provide significant cost savings to their organizations,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
