For a long time, Etisalat Misr could only dream of having a hierarchical storage architecture based on just one set of software tools. But now it’s a reality. One of Egypt’s largest and most dynamic mobile providers is capitalizing on an integrated suite of Symantec technologies―Veritas NetBackup, Veritas Storage Foundation HA, and Symantec Enterprise Vault―to deliver a flexible, cost-effective, and high availability information storage environment. The strategy is simultaneously helping Etisalat Misr to effectively manage rampant data growth and support the diverse needs of 12 million mobile telecommunications customers.
