MSPs deploy IBM Pure Systems to create New Business Models

Facing a growing number of customers in need of additional hosting services, IT infrastructure services and solutions provider ESDS required an integrated and scalable system for its cloud offerings as well as a single vendor who could meet its business needs while avoiding integration issues resulting from multiple vendor products in a data center environment. Thus, ESDS has selected IBM PureSystems to bring greater business efficiencies in their cloud architecture as well as provide hosting services for customers.

The solution will help to provide flexibility to many ESDS customers who are growing their business operations.

Chetan Naik, Regional Executive  West, IBM India/South Asia, said, “IBM is helping Managed Service Providers (MSPs) drive a paradigm shift by enabling them to anticipate and resolve problems proactively, create new opportunities with clients and pioneer new business models. IBM PureSystems is ideal for MSPs evolving to SaaS/PaaS business models, emerging markets, medium-sized businesses and application development use.

We selected IBM's Smarter Computing approach and PureSystems as it was the best platform to meet our business needs. The combination of IBM’s technical expertise and focus on driving innovation with advanced technologies will enable us to grow our business. Additionally, IBM PureFlex offers a compelling value proposition designed to scale on demand, depending on our business needs. PureFlex was our only option to have a scalable and flexible cloud infrastructure which can last for next 10 years, said Piyush Somani, CEO/MD, ESDS.

With the addition of IBM’s Flex Systems Manager (FSM), ESDS can now control their entire IT infrastructure, including compute, storage, network and other capabilities, from a single window pane. This has simplified their overall management capabilities and cut down infrastructure costs.
