“Our partnership with IBM allows us to increase the storage capacity our IT broadcasting operations require to keep both short-term and long-term archives and databases of shows for all our channels. The additional storage equipment ties in with our growth plans as we intend to keep our audiences continuously happy with the variety of shows we line up everyday. Our operations team is also freed up from manually updating and maintaining our databases and we don’t need to worry about technology obsolescence, because IBM manages and supports our storage requirements for the foreseeable future,”
- Wilson Tieng, President and CEO, Solar Entertainment.
As part of the agreement, IBM will provide the necessary information technology (IT) infrastructure as the production storage system for Solar Entertainment. The managed services solution includes the provision of project management and system operation support.
“Providing the necessary storage capabilities and helping manage their archiving infrastructure will enable Solar Entertainment to focus on their core business, while taking advantage of exceptional operational efficiencies and cost savings,”
“IBM is excited to work with Solar Entertainment on this strategic project as they continue to improve and expand their business to provide top notch entertainment for Filipinos.”
- James Velasquez, Country General Manager, IBM Philippines.
The agreement was signed on October 5, 2011 by the two (2) parties..
