Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and DWP Technologies formalized the partnership in a ceremony held in Islamabad. It was attended by Jafar Khalid, Group Chief Technology and Information Officer, PTCL & Ufone, 4G, and Rohail Bashir, Chief Operating Officer, DWP Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd., along with senior management from PTCL Group, DWP and Dell Technologies.
PTCL is currently undergoing a digital transformation journey, and for that it also needs to upgrade its storage infrastructure. The aim of doing so is to boost operational efficiency, enhance performance, and ensure scalability to meet the growing data demands of its network, PTCL said in a statement on Tuesday.
This modernization effort will streamline PTCL’s operations and solidify its position as a leader in the telecommunications sector. The current mission-critical platform and ecosystem supporting PTCL and Ufone4G, which spans three sites using enterprise replication services (SRDF), will remain fully supported and maintained throughout this initiative, ensuring uninterrupted operations and business continuity.
The upgraded infrastructure introduces several advanced features designed to elevate PTCL’s service delivery and operational effectiveness. It incorporates a three-site active-active metro architecture as part of an enhanced availability initiative, allowing PTCL to maintain continuous service even during localized disruptions. Additionally, the platform is built with scalability in mind, capable of accommodating the future needs of PTCL Group.
The transformation also features significant operational benefits, including drastic reduction in PTCL’s Data Center footprint, along with its power and cooling requirements, leading to lower operational costs and greater energy efficiency.
Sharing his thoughts, Jafar Khalid said, “This collaboration will stamp PTCL’s authority in Data Center innovation and digital transformation. By modernizing our infrastructure, we are not only enhancing our operational capabilities but also reinforcing our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to our enterprise customers.”
