STME Increases Product and Solutions Offerings with Veritas Technologies

STME, the Middle East’s leading IT solutions provider and systems integrator (SI), headquartered in Dubai, signed a new partnership agreement with Veritas Technologies LLC (which split from Symantec in March 2016), the global leader in information management, to provide clients in the Middle East with the company’s market leading solutions, NetBackup for backup and recovery.

Backup solutions are extremely important for the continuation of uninterrupted business. The loss or potential loss of organizational data and information could result in organizational downtime that can cost a significant sum of money, or take a prolonged period of time for recovery, or worse some organizations may never recover from the loss of data and information. The loss of organizational data and information can occur in various forms, from hardware failure, security breaches, cyber-attacks, human error, and natural disasters are some of the common causes. 

“Protecting your organization from the loss of data and information is crucial for the continuity of your business, especially in the service-oriented age businesses now operate in. The downtimes that result from the loss of data and due to the lack of a backup system, or a reliable backup system, may also cause the organization that has already lost so much, to also lose customers and clients who demand quick turnaround,’’ said Mr. Ayman Al Bayaa, CEO of STME. 

“Veritas is dedicated to providing our customers with cloud-ready solutions that enable them to easily extend and manage data protection from their data center to the hybrid cloud,” says Amer Chebaro, Regional Director East Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Veritas. “With its extensive technical capabilities and sales expertise, STME is well-positioned to meet the needs of our customers and work with Veritas in successfully executing our growth and development plans across the region.”

Veritas NetBackup 

Veritas NetBackup is the market-share leader in enterprise backup and recovery software in the industry and can add new functionality and increased performance to support dynamic enterprise environments enabling organizations to function effectively and efficiently. “The Veritas solution empowers organizations by reducing complexity and outpacing relentless data centre growth, and greatly expands the effectiveness of backup and recovery. We are pleased to be able to offer these solutions to our clients in the Middle East,’’ said Mr. Ayman Al Bayaa, CEO of STME. 

In a bid to reach organizations in the Middle East and communicate the necessity for reliable backup solutions and the disastrous effects of not having a solution in place, STME is constantly collaborating with their partners and vendors to deliver best services, support, and provide knowledge and insight on industry trends, challenges, and options. As proof of these collaborations, STME recently concluded a partner event alongside Veritas, at Etihad Towers Hotel, Corniche West Street, Abu Dhabi, and covered topics such as analysing and classifying data, and supervising and managing storage. The full day event had presentations by STME and Veritas staff and was attended by IT professionals from across the ME.

Through innovative, customized, and complex solutions, and workshops and client site visits, STME and the company’s partners and vendors are providing business organizations in the Middle East industry-leading products and solutions, for the smooth functioning of their business operations. The partnership between STME and Veritas is continuously evolving to provide clients in the Middle East leading products, solutions, and services.
