MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, December 15, 2015 - Zonam rica implemented a cloud-based Cisco collaboration solution to provide services to the clients of this free zone situated in Montevideo. This innovation confirms Zonam ricas role as a technology leader in Uruguay providing to its customers solutions to improve the efficiency and productivity of their processes and jobs. This is the first project in Uruguay to deliver cloud-based services build on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ). The solution built for Zonam rica provides computing, storage, memory and software via an auto-provisioning system to the 200 customers within the park. The datacenter in Jacksonville enables Zonam rica to provide the service to external customers across Uruguay and around the world.
The particularity of the benefits of this solution is that it provides an excellent service not only to Zonam ricas customers but also to those that are not within this business and technology park, who want a safe environment to process their data. This happens thanks to three Data Centers: two located in the park to provide service to the clients in this space and also the international ones, and one in Jacksonville, to provide service to the Uruguay companies. All of them will have access to a secure collaboration service that includes virtual desktop telephony, unified communications and Jabber for mobile devices, as well as the setup of passwords, mail, virtual servers, firewall and Internet services.
At the start of the implementation, the virtual server solution became available, and once in operation launched the self-supply. Through this action, much of Zonam rica servers migrated to virtual. In parallel, virtual server solutions inside and outside the park are being sold. The next advancements were made with firewall, virtual desktops and PBX, the latter two assembled with each other. When speaking of virtual desktop, this solution is being offered including the machine, telephonic line, control firewall and mail services.
From the Cloud point of view, Zonam rica offers its park customers and those who are outside of it, operational efficiency, cost savings and more efficient obsolescence management with all the speed benefits that the centralized system provides under a safe environment; in turn, it is a source of income, customer wise.
Cisco and Zonam ricas relationship began 20 years ago with the implementation of switches and routers. Soon after, wireless was added; both indoor and outdoor, then came security, and in this last stage, cloud services. This latest solution was the leap that allowed them to resell their products beyond the park and be applied to small and large companies. This creates greater flexibility, and it is exactly what Zonam rica is aiming for. Logicalis has been the partner of choice to implement and support many of these solutions, becoming a strategic supplier for ZA.
Precisely, while continuing to grow from this new solution, the next step between Cisco and Zonam rica is the new Colombian project. A new free zone is being built, exclusive for services, where it will have a data center and telecommunications infrastructure.
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is being implemented too, since the park is a small city to integrate all services provided in the latter. Zonam rica distributes energy and water, recycles waste and has transportation services. The computerization of this entire framework using IoT technologies is being analyzed, such as connecting power meters, bus transportation and intelligent parking, along with monitoring and access control.
Supporting quotes:
Jaime Miller, Zonam ricas General Manager.
For Uruguay, Zonam rica has always been an icon in terms of technological innovation, and we wanted to continue in that line looking for new experiences. It keeps on positioning us as leaders in the search of innovation. Therefore, we seek a first-tier supplier as Cisco, to provide customers Cloud services without reservations. We have an unwavering commitment to quality with our customers. We always try to offer the best solution. Being in a free zone opens us to the world and leads us to always seek the best suppliers available globally because it does not bind us to tariff or tax barriers. Liability to the customer is crucial and we need a solution that would give us security. And we found it in Cisco, not only as a trademark or for its technical support, but their relationship with local partners - Logicalis, in this case - which can give us support and maintenance service. It puts us in a different category regarding Cloud.
Gabriel Sakata, General Manager of Cisco in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Cisco is increasing its focus on Uruguay, accompanying its leadership in innovation development and business growth in the country. Zonam rica is a clear example of this process. Cisco has been announcing that the evolution of the Internet of Everything is been challenging CIOs to understand how with the evolution of ICTs our clients business models can evolve too. And Cisco is aiming to lead this transition and help the CIOs of our customers in this process.
Federico Bisetti, Sales Manager for Cisco Paraguay and Uruguay.
Having implemented several private clouds for companies, this is the first project of Public Cloud in Uruguay on Cisco servers, which has allowed Zonam rica to provide Cloud services not only within the park, but outside it and even internationally, given that it has customers in other countries in the region, notes Federico Bisetti, Sales Manager for Cisco Paraguay and Uruguay.
Gabriel Szlaifsztein, IT manager of Zonam rica
From the technical point of view, we chose Cisco because it was the alternative that best met and still meets all Zonam ricas needs and to its customers and disparate companies: from 3 to 3000 employees. Starting from fin
