The new systems will improve the quality of Terrakom's cloud environment, help the company enter a new market segment and meet increasing client demands for services delivered through the cloud. The IBM Flex System will also help to ensure uninterrupted operation of all system components and significantly reduce Terrakom's energy consumption.

IBM Flex Systems are designed to provide easy implementation of cloud applications. As a result, since deployment Terrakom has been able to deliver applications within four minutes of a client service request, effectively making the company into an IaaS services provider as well.

Andrej Kalanovic, member of Management Board, Terrakom, said: "With the new IT infrastructure, we reduced our hardware inventory by 60 percent and increased our efficiency by 35 percent."

The company has established a new dedicated brand for these new private, pubic and hybrid cloud offerings - INSIDE Cloud.

Along with IBM Flex System, Terrakom deployed the IBM Storwize v3700 data storage system, complementing its existing IBM infrastructure that has been in use since 2010.

Established in 2010 in Croatia and based in Zagreb, Terrakom is a telecommunication services provider and operator of a Terrakom cable TV.

Today Terrakom operates a complete process of providing managed IT - from internet, telephony and digital television to cloud hosting and IT infrastructure services.
