A Digital Transformation Through DELL EMC
TIM Corporation in partnership with DELL EMC held an event last April 3, 2019, at Prohibition Liquor Lounge at Dilingers 1903 entitled “ Digital Transformation”. The event was welcomed by TIM’s very own President Mr. Sunver Z. Bastes who discussed the value of integrating digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. And that any digital transformation journey will always be a cultural change that requires organizations to continually challenge the status quo, testing, learning and perpetually evolving.
The event also had valued keynote speakers that discussed the importance of preparing an organizations IT infrastructure to be able to fully support its business initiatives, drivers and operations through the use of enterprise and scalable technologies which has been the key driver of DELL EMC. In line with this, Mr. Jose Nino “Onin” Ramos- Partner Systems Engineer who shared about the DELL EMC’s hyper-converged VxRail Appliance features a clustered node architecture that consolidates compute, storage, and management into a single, resilient, network-ready HCI unit. The software-defined architectural structure converges server and storage resources, allowing a scale-out, building-block approach, and each appliance carries management as an integral component. From a hardware perspective, the VxRail node is a server with integrated direct-attached storage. No external network components are included with the appliance; VxRail leaves that up to the customer (although VCE can bundle switch hardware and NSX can function as an integrated option for SDN). This allows the VxRack to seamlessly integrate into the existing network infrastructure, preserving the existing investment in network infrastructure, processes, and training. Organizations benefit from the simplicity of the appliance architecture that expedites application deployment while providing the same data services expected from high-end systems. Mr. Neil Ocampo who was also a keynote speaker then discussed how many companies are rethinking next-generation data protection methods as a result of exponential data growth, regulatory compliance, strict service-level agreements, and shrinking backup windows. And IT teams face additional challenges from accelerated virtualization and the need to better protect data residing throughout the enterprise.
Finally, the program was closed by Mr. Migs de Guzman, TIM Corporations FSI Sales Director who relayed that VALUE must be the heart of every digital transformation initiative which will drive a great “customer experience” that should always be the end goal. That every company looking at evolving its business processes through technology should always keep in mind that the heart of any digital projects has always been and will always be valuable.
