Intelligent Data Centres Issue 11 | Page 34
NOTE
ello and welcome
to the latest edition
of Intelligent Data
Centres. Our cover
story this month
explores how Bezeq, a
leading telecommunications provider in
Israel, has cut its database run times up
to 90% and boosted throughput 2x–3x
after deploying simple, scalable Excelero
NVMesh shared NVMe storage.
H
Igal Muginstein, Storage and Backup
Team Manager at Bezeq, tells us
how the solution has enabled high
performance, cost-savings, simplicity
and scalability, while also eliminating
hardware vendor lock-in.
Meanwhile, industry experts offer their
insight into the key trends and themes
which are set to be front of mind for data
centre and infrastructure teams in the
new year in our first feature. We hear
how the colocation industry is expected
to grow, while many businesses are
expected to return to a hybrid IT model.
You can read the predictions in full on
pages 35 to 38.
As more organisations accelerate
their Digital Transformation strategies,
networking requirements have also
shifted. Kelly Ahuja, CEO, Versa
Networks, tells us why enterprises
need to reconsider their approach to
networking to ensure they are able
to meet modern demands for Edge
services, in our second feature.
