Wataniya Mobile

Transforming Data Management: With Intrasoft Middle East’s implementation of EMC Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), Wataniya Mobile achieved enterprise-wide data optimization, improved performance, and reduced operational costs.

Wataniya Mobile: Optimizing Enterprise Data with Information Lifecycle Management


As a prominent telecom operator in Palestine, Wataniya Mobile faced increasing pressure to manage growing volumes of structured and unstructured data efficiently. The expansion of digital services, customer transactions, and regulatory requirements introduced significant challenges:

  • Uncontrolled Data Growth: Rapid accumulation of structured and unstructured data strained existing storage infrastructure.
  • Limited Data Accessibility: Business units required faster access to mission-critical data.
  • Inefficient Storage Systems: Legacy infrastructure lacked automation and tiering, increasing redundancy and costs.
  • Compliance Risks: Ineffective data retention policies threatened regulatory compliance.


Recognizing the importance of a robust data management strategy, Wataniya Mobile sought an integrated ILM solution to govern data efficiently throughout its lifecycle.


The EMC ILM solution implemented by Intrasoft Middle East delivered tangible business value and long-term benefits:

  • Optimized Storage Utilization: Automated data tiering and archiving reduced unnecessary storage consumption and improved infrastructure performance.
  • Cost Reduction: Rationalized data management led to a significant decrease in operational and storage costs.
  • Enhanced Data Governance: Improved control over data retention policies and lifecycle management supported regulatory compliance and audit readiness.
  • Improved Access and Availability: Business-critical data was readily available, enabling faster decision-making and improved service delivery.

Asiacell

Asiacell, a leading telecommunications provider in Iraq, embarked on a transformative journey to modernize its data protection and storage infrastructure. Facing challenges of exponential data growth and the need for advanced disaster recovery solutions, Asiacell partnered with Intrasoft Middle East to implement a robust, scalable, and efficient solution. The project leveraged cutting-edge EMC technologies to enhance data mobility, operational efficiency, and disaster resilience.

Asiacell: Revolutionizing Data Protection with Virtualization and Disaster Recovery


Asiacell’s legacy storage systems posed several challenges:

  • Inefficient Systems: Complex and slow processes hindered backup and recovery times, impacting service delivery.
  • Limited Scalability: The existing infrastructure struggled to manage increasing data volumes and virtualized environments.
  • Operational Risks: A lack of confidence in data recovery posed significant risks of potential data loss and extended downtimes.
  • High Costs: Tape-based backups resulted in high operational and storage expenses, limiting scalability.

Solutions Implemented
