Comguard Introduces Database Virtualization To Enhance Productivity For Enterprises
Comguard partners with Delphix to reduce data management cost by 90% for Enterprises in the Middle East region.
- (1888PressRelease) July 20, 2012 - Comguard, a Dubai based leading value added distributor for IT security products and solutions in the Middle East and North Africa region, today announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Delphix, the leading database virtualization for agile data management software solution provider. The new agreement enables Comguard to distribute Delphix products and solutions across the Middle East region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Kuwait among others.
According to a study conducted by leading IT Advisory and Consulting Company, Enterprise Strategy Group, managing data growth and database size is the number one data management challenge for enterprises, with 51% of enterprises indicating that managing increases in database storage requirements is their top database application infrastructure challenge.
Jayadevan K, Senior Vice President, Value Business at Comguard, said, "The biggest challenge today is controlling the explosion of data growth. Delphix redefines virtualization for enterprises through the creation of a new virtualization layer for data. Comguard in association with Delphix will provide enterprises in the region a comprehensive database virtualization that can cut the cost of data management by 90%."
By virtualizing the data within enterprise databases, Delphix increases agility in database-driven application development and transforms the economics of database and application management. Delphix reduces database storage costs and dramatically increases application team productivity, improving the returns on database investments and application time to market.
Unlike server virtualization products, Delphix eliminates the storage expansion driven by production databases and the seven to ten supporting copies created in most organizations, relieving budget pressures driven by Big Data. Ten copies of a 30 TB data warehouse would result in 300 TB of storage consumption on physical infrastructure but as little as 20 TB on Delphix. As relational databases incorporate Big Data components like MapReduce into their engines, more and more of the Big Data footprint will fall into relational databases, data warehouses, and their supporting copies, which Delphix streamlines and consolidates.
Jamie Stone, Regional Director, EMEA, Delphix, said, "We are glad to join hands with Comguard and are sure that with region-wide reach and understanding of technology, Delphix will be able to carve out a niche for itself in this region by providing the most effective solution to enterprises in the region which will help them to increase their productivity as well as reduce their database storage costs."
Delphix has been awarded multiple industry honors, including ComputerWorld Honors Laureate, Ventana Research Leadership Award in IT Performance Management, AlwaysOn OnDemand Top 100, and RedHerring Top 100 North America.
