In an effort to enhance and unify the overall management of the physical and virtual IT environments, and in alliance with STS, Jordan's leading IT solutions provider, STS supplies Zain, part of the Zain group, the leading mobile operator in the Middle East and Africa, with a comprehensive, industry-proven VMware technology.
The successful implementation will see Zain leverage virtualization technology, raising the bar for efficiency, scalability, and availability. In virtue of enabling virtualization latest technologies, Zain is able to replace a large number of physical machines and making room to only a few, that effectively provide the same performance and output, resulting in reduced energy costs, recovered physical space, and added flexibility. Moreover, Zain will assuredly improve the efficiency and availability of its IT resources and applications through virtualization, and respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before.
Commenting on the achievement, Husam Katkhoda, STS Deputy General Manager said, "We are pleased to successfully fulfill the implementation of one of the central virtualization projects in Jordan. By implementing VMware technology, Zain will harvest the benefits of virtualization by simplifying IT infrastructure, lowering administrative costs, and achieving immediate results."

In this perspective, the evolution of IT virtualization technologies has become a dominant force in the world, and this is due to businesses acknowledging the need to reduce power consumption, the facility to respond to market opportunities faster and shifting towards using automation to reduce operational costs.
It is worth mentioning that STS is VMware Infrastructure Virtualization distributor; the first VMware enterprise partner in Jordan and one of few in the region to earn this designation.
