Kalbe, a leading pharmaceutical company in Indonesia, is teaming with IBM to deploy data center consolidation with an explicit goal of reducing energy consumption as well as reducing information technology (IT) maintenance and space in its own data center facilities across Jakarta. IBM will help Kalbe to consolidate five data centers from its current 13 existing data centers during the initial phase.
In addition, IBM will install a green data center on a site of 5,048 square feet. Other site and facilities services and server services to be implemented include data center strategy, data center design, server and storage integration, relocation planning, project management, infrastructure equipment sourcing, installation services and management, data center testing and startup management.
“IBM's long history and expertise with data center implementations enabled us to create a solution to save energy and ensure efficient server performance for Kalbe,” says Hengkie Kastono, country manager, Global Technology Services, IBM Indonesia. “IT departments won't be as concerned with growing energy costs when selecting IBM’s data center solutions, which provide an efficient, reliable and secure data center. IBM is making it easier for data center owners to go green with new, more energy efficient technology and services, available as part of IBM’s Project Big Green initiative.”
