Odek deploys Tintri cloud enterprise platform

Odek Technologies has replaced EMC platforms with Tintri, enhancing its enterprise cloud services.
With Tintri, Odek can guarantee application performance for its customers, use automation to simplify management and access predictive analytics to inform decisions about when and how to scale.
Odek Technologies is an information and communication technology (ICT) company based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Specialising in one-stop hosted solutions for the modern enterprise, Odek provides critical IT resources and enterprise cloud services to local businesses across the region.
To support a growing customer base, and to add new services, Odek sought an enterprise cloud platform – the company chose Tintri to replace EMC platforms.
Tintri made it easy for Odek to guarantee the performance of customer applications. And Tintri’s APIs allowed Odek to automate processes and reduce management effort, even as they expand operations.
The company purchased multiple Tintri systems—mirroring data between two different sites to offer a Disaster Recovery service for its customers.
Since the deployment, Odek has greater visibility into its infrastructure; they can now troubleshoot across compute, network and storage, and they can predict resource needs up to 18 months into the future with Tintri Analytics. These enterprise cloud benefits impact both Odek and its customers.
Karien Greeff, IT processing executive at Odek Technologies, says: “Since deploying Tintri, we have been able to respond to customer requests much faster and with more accurate information by utilising Tintri Analytics. And Tintri has allowed us to build automations that simplify management—so we can grow our enterprise cloud footprint while actually reducing management effort and operating cost.”
Claudio Polla, regional manager of Middle East Africa and Turkey at Tintri comments: “It is essential that local organisations are able to offer customers the agility, automation, support and performance they require from an enterprise cloud. Odek pride themselves on delivering specialised cloud services and infrastructure management and we are pleased to be working with them to help minimise IT costs and simplify management as they scale.”
