Customer Success

Telecommunications Company Data Center Move

​Challenge: A major telecommunications service provider on a large Caribbean island was experiencing noticeable declines in performance on their production systems. With approximately 160,000 telephone customers, there was an imminent danger of dropping phone calls if the systems were to overload.
Telco needed to upgrade its hardware systems immediately because of an upcoming holiday weekend. They required a minimal effect on daily operations and minimal risk of failure during the upgrade.

Solution: Abtech was notified on a Monday and was able to provide the logistics of setting up a test environment by Wednesday at one of Abtech’s nationwide service depots. Once these new systems were tested by Abtech and The Telco engineers, Abtech personnel properly packaged the equipment for safe transport back to the customer’s island facility.

With Abtech Technologies’ assistance, the customer was able to upgrade their hardware systems in a very short time frame and with minimal downtime. The Telco will be able to accommodate growth for years to come.
