Auckland, NZ – Mar 4th, 2011 – Spectrum Consulting, New Zealand premier provider of IBM Power Systems sales and support was announced today as a finalist in the Dynamic Infrastructure category of the 2010 IBM Business Partner Awards for its storage solution at Weta Productions in Wellington, New Zealand.
“Congratulations to all of the IBM Business Partner finalists,” says Raymond Skoglund, IBM New Zealand’s channel manager. “This year’s finalists have all demonstrated an ability to readily identify the business requirements of their customers and then deliver solutions that add significant value. This year we have seen customers develop new revenue streams, enhance visibility into their planning processes and increase performance while reducing costs and mitigating risk. The high quality of all of the submissions have made the selection difficult indeed and we are extremely pleased to have such talented people and innovative organizations as our IBM Business Partners.”
What is Dynamic Infrastructure?
A Dynamic Infrastructure is designed for today’s instrumented world, helping clients integrate the growing intelligent business infrastructure with the necessary underlying design of a flexible, secure and seamlessly managed IT infrastructure.
A Dynamic Infrastructure:
- Helps reduce operational cost and complexity, and achieve breakthrough productivity gains through virtualisation, optimisation and energy efficiency.
- Addresses today’s security, business continuity and compliance challenges, and helps prepare for the new risks posed by a connected and collaborative world
- Allows companies to quickly respond to customers’ needs today and add new applications and technologies for future growth.
Organisations supported by a dynamic infrastructure can deliver superior business and IT services with agility and speed.
PROJECT: Weta Workshop has massive requirements for storage as they ‘render’ the millions and millions of images that go into creating award-winning animated television shows. But their infrastructure couldn’t scale fast or far enough to support their anticipated High Definition workloads. Spectrum Consulting specified and assisted in the installation of the IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) solution, one of the first such implementations worldwide. Weta Workshop can now produce significantly more rendered sequences than before and now has the capacity to take on additional projects.
