ISLAMABAD
VMware Inc., a global leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility, has recently signed an agreement with Meezan Bank, Pakistan’s first and largest Islamic bank to modernise the bank’s IT infrastructure across 571 branches in 146 cities of Pakistan. The agreement allows Meezan Bank’s expansion into larger market segments and will make it possible for the bank to meet its growing business demands through IT.
Under the agreement, Meezan Bank can tap on VMware’s industry leading platforms to build and deliver IT solutions. With the modernised IT infrastructure, enabled by a suite of VMware solutions including, VMware vSphere® with Operations Management™, VMware vCloud Suite® and VMware Site Recovery Manager™, the bank aims to increase the performance and efficiency of the IT resources through virtualisation, speed up the delivery of solutions via private clouds, and strengthen the availability and mobility of critical applications.
US Ambassador David Hale was present on VMware signing ceremony held here in a private hotel. He said American companies like VMware have played a key role in the growth of Pakistan’s ICT sector.
Other leading American technology companies have a significant presence here-Oracle, Microsoft, Cisco, Dell and IB to name a few. VMware‘s growth since arriving in Pakistan less than three years ago is impressive, said Hale.
David Hale further said that telecom deregulation has been a key stimulant for this sector’s growth in Pakistan.
It’s a Great Step Ahead …Well Good Luck
