Egypt’s Manufacturing Commercial Vehicles (MCV), recently announced that storage provider STME has succesfully implemented a core enterprise storage infrastructure solution at MCV. All of MCV’s company information, including the financial and sales data generated by its ERP system, is protected by the new solution, stated a press release.
MCV’s storage investment will enable the five branches of the company to access information from the central computing system at head office via a satellite hook-up. Previously, MCV relied on manual backups for its vital corporate data, which resulted in errors and generated a greater workload for employees.
All MCV buses and trucks are manufactured at its Salheya facility, which has an installed capacity to manufacture 9000 vehicles annually. The entire production process is controlled through a SAP ERP system. MCV has become the local market leader in the manufacture of Mercedes Benz commercial vehicles and exports 40 percent of its annual production.
At the core of the new MCV storage solution is hardware provided by EMC, a global technology partner of STME. The centralized storage system implemented by MCV includes EMC CLARiiON hardware, VERITAS Netbackup software and an Exabyte automated tape library. Already, 100 MCV users are accessing data from the EMC CLARiiON, a figure that is expected to rise by 50 percent in the next phase of the project.
MCV is the agent for DaimlerChrysler in Egypt for the manufacture of Mercedes Benz commercial vehicles. Established in 1994, MCV has become the market leader for commercial vehicles in the country and has successfully penetrated the export markets. — (menareport.com)
