NetApp will help 3DPLM Software Solutions Ltd., a joint venture company of Geometric Limited and Dassault Systèmes involved in CAD and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) product development, to make the transition to virtualized IT infrastructure. NetApp's systems and solutions, being deployed in two phases, claims to help 3DPLM improve the economics of their internal IT infrastructure. This is said to further help the company increase storage capacity and lower costs. 3DPLM could save nearly 60% storage capacity due to de-duplication feature, and 20% due to thin provisioning.
Surajit Sen, Director - Channels Marketing & Alliances, NetApp India said, "We strongly believe that NetApp's innovative and future ready systems and solutions will play an important role in changing the economics of IT in India Inc. We are delighted that progressive companies like 3DPLM are realizing the advantages of NetApp's virtualization solutions in their bid to drive organizational efficiencies. We look forward to a long-standing association with 3DPLM and wish them success and rapid business growth, built on NetApp technologies."
Manoj Bhat, Head IT Operations, 3DPLM said, "Our engineers work on very heavy files, and therefore good storage was one of the key elements in our transition towards a virtualized computing environment. With a fast growing business, we were also facing increasing demands of containing server sprawl. With NetApp's innovative and scalable storage systems and solutions, our concerns are now addressed, and we believe we will ride on the resulting flexibility and efficiency to rapidly support our users and save tremendously on power, cooling and data center space."
