Philippine Telegraph and Telephone Corp. has teamed up with US-based Maxava to provide a high availability and disaster recovery solution for the Philippine market.     

“Our partnership with Maxava solidifies our thrust to offer our clients with industry-leading business resiliency solutions especially now that companies have seen the importance of resilience and business continuity in the current Covid-19 crisis,” Ella Mae Ortega, PT&T’s IT Services business unit head said. 

Maxava is a worldwide provider of innovative Monitoring, High Availability, and Disaster Recovery solutions for IBM Power Systems. 

“A pandemic is just one type of a crisis that companies will have to face. We have to be prepared to thrive and not merely survive whatever the conditions,” she said. 

PT&T has transformed into an IT Services provider offering cloud, security, disaster recovery and other solutions in the past year under new management.

Simon O’Sullivan, vice president of Maxava said while all countries need to be prepared for manmade risks, the Philippines like many other countries, also needs to be “disaster recovery ready” for the heightened potential of natural disasters.

In the field of data and IT, O’Sullivan said Maxava is determined to offer Philippine companies the best of breed solutions for disaster recovery.”

 “The Maxava High Availability Suite can open the door for organizations to have a secure disaster recovery plan, no matter what the size or scope of their operation,” he added.  

Maxava serves more than 500 customers in over 40 countries, providing 24x7x365 support directly through regional offices located in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific.
