Telecom, Education, Professional services and Consumer & recreational services were the key contributors towards the exponential growth.

Q How channel partners are helping you to grow your business?

A Channel plays a significant role in the DIGISOL setup. The fact is that a major share of DIGISOL’s revenues in India is chipped in by the channel, which is testimony to DIGISOL’s commitment towards them and outlines the significance of channel in the DIGISOL business model.

Q How do you make balance between Online & Offline partners?

8 01-15 May 2016

Digital Terminal

Wireless market in India has been observing phenomenal growth since last few years. But the coming years seems to be much more exciting as connectivity holds the key for any organisations.

All government are keen to offer wi-fi services to their citizens which are also driving force for the vendors. Implementation of IoT, Surveillance projects, digital initiatives and telco rollouts will further fuel its growth in India. DIGISOL, the undisputed leader in the segment has been working very closely with their partners to tap the current and coming opportunities. Recently we have seen quite aggressive marketing campaign and channel program from DIGISOLwhich will surly work in their favour.

AratiNaik, COO, DIGISOL speaks to DT and shares his exclusive views on the market and current marketing plans.

A Today there is an ongoing controversy over online channels which are upsetting the MOP and then are hitting hard on the traditional channel.

For all our products we strictly maintain price parity between the online channel and the traditional channel.

We give strict instructions to our online channel on this matter. Of course we cannot straight away ignore online channel. Presence on online channel increases the visibility of the products and some customers who see the product online call the offline stores for products. In other words, online visibility brings business to the traditional channel as well. Nowadays it is essential to be online to maintain the presence online; that is a part of maintaining image as well.

However, if you see the percentage of online sales, the fraction is still limited. It can never overrun the traditional channel. So it is the trend of the day to maintain visibility on both fronts, while at the same time maintaining price parity and balance.

Q Please share your service support initiatives?

A We are among the very few IT companies which have its own Service

Support division DIGICARE, which gives us an edge over our competitor.

Our high quality and reputable aftersale-services are strategically built to deliver customer satisfaction. We offer first-rate integrated service and support through our special service division, DIGICARE, which consists of RMA centres, Smartlink Technical Assistance Centre (STAC) and Direct Service Department (DSD).

DIGICARE has evolved most efficient, skilled and professional state of service infrastructure.

We provide end-to-end product life cycle support which includes 1. Providing remote support to the channel partners and end customers on configuration of products in various networks.

2. Warranty support for repair/replacement of products when they go defective during warranty period.

3. Post warranty support to manage the trouble free functioning of the product.

There comes the importance of modernizing the data centres around the 4 key pillars- leverage flash as a core storage infrastructure, the ability to scale out, taking the software defined approach and movement to cloud.

New Technologies Today, flash has reached the point where it is more cost-effective to deploy than high performance hard drives. We believe companies will collect 1000x more data than ever before and will be under pressure to analyze that data in real time to seek competitive advantage. These new requirements break traditional infrastructure and pave the way for a new approach. This is why we created DSSD D5. Adding to that we also have worked to optimize the VMAX for all-flash deployments while still providing the world-class data services our customers know and love.

Kaspersky Lab Conducts Customer Pitstop in Pune Kaspersky Lab along with SEA Infonet, one of its National Distributor for enterprise products, successfully concluded its first event of Non-End-

point centric End-customer Pitstop series on 29th April, 2016 in Pune.

This series focuses on customers using virtual infrastructures and network attached storages. The meet sought to explore business opportunities with a focus to develop market in emerging geographies. The Customer Pitstop was attended by over 25 prospective end-customers.

Technical experts from Kaspersky Lab discussed about the need for security for virtual environment and network attached storages and how to find the right balance between security and performance. The key content of the program focused on technical overview of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization & Kaspersky Security for Storage. Kaspersky Security for Virtualization delivers protection for VDI and virtual server environments such as VMware, Citrix, Microsoft and KVM platforms; while Kaspersky Security for Storage provides protec-

tion for data stored on NetApp, Dell, Hitachi, IBM and Oracle storage appliance systems.

Mr. Altaf Halde, Managing Director, Kaspersky Lab, South Asia said, “Increasing use of virtualized environments to reduce cost and increase flexibility has created specific areas of IT security complexity and we have seen that security is not given importance when it comes to virtualization and storage platforms. It is not a secret that Cyber criminals are becoming more smarter and at the same time the impact of losses due to cyber-criminal activities is becoming very high. Virtualisation and Storage platforms are prone to attacks, if not protected well. This series of customer pitstop is more to educate CIO’s & IT Heads, on the dangers and offer them ways to address this loophole..”

Mr. BiswajeetSaha, Director, SEA Infonet added, “Businesses are unaware of benefits of specialised security for virtual environments. Many companies are relying on standard Endpoint Security-class solutions to protect their virtual environments, potentially leading to reduced performance and creating an excessive load on their systems. This event is a direct interaction with customers and provides them valuable information.”

The meeting concluded on a note that Kaspersky Lab will return with more such events in coming months that will give customers an overall picture of the solutions provided by Kaspersky in the B2B space.
