SIOS Technology has formed a strategic partnership with FCS InfoTech to deliver high availability and disaster recovery solutions across India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
The collaboration aims to provide enterprises in India and countries within the GCC, including Oman, with reliable and cost-effective capabilities to support critical business applications and protect them against downtime and data loss.
SIOS Technology offers application high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions, while FCS InfoTech operates as an IT solutions and services provider based in India with a broad customer base and regional expertise.
Regional expansion
The partnership is expected to extend SIOS Technology's reach in territories where digital resilience and business continuity have become key to organisational operations. As enterprises invest in digital infrastructure and work to ensure consistently available IT services, avoiding service interruptions has become a priority in sectors including finance, manufacturing, government, and energy.
Masahiro Arai, Chief Operating Officer of SIOS Technology, commented,
"Our partnership with FCS InfoTech expands our footprint in a region where resiliency and uptime are essential to digital success. FCS brings deep regional knowledge and a strong track record in enterprise IT services, making them a trusted partner to deliver SIOS HA and DR solutions to businesses with mission-critical needs."
FCS InfoTech will act as the main channel and implementation partner for two SIOS products: SIOS LifeKeeper and SIOS DataKeeper. These software solutions offer high availability and disaster recovery protection for applications such as SAP, Oracle, and SQL Server, as well as other critical workloads, covering deployment scenarios on cloud, hybrid, and on-premises IT environments.
Focus on resilience
Customers across the region will be able to utilise clustering and replication technologies that are designed to provide business continuity and manageable operational complexity.
Vishal Upasham, Chief Technology Officer at FCS InfoTech, noted the increasing importance of IT resilience in modern business.
"In today's digital era, organizations are placing increased emphasis on IT resilience and uninterrupted service," said Mr Vishal Upasham, CTO, FCS InfoTech.
The SIOS HA/DR software suite is positioned to enable organisations to deliver uninterrupted application services, avoid added expenses associated with storage area networks (SANs) or premium application editions, and meet service level agreements for uptime and disaster recovery goals with locally available technical support from FCS InfoTech experts.
Serving diverse industries
SIOS Technology and FCS InfoTech will provide their joint offerings to enterprises of different sizes and sectors, citing the necessity of always-on IT infrastructure in public and private sector organisations alike. Local support and deployment are expected to be managed by certified FCS InfoTech professionals with experience in adapting solutions for client-specific requirements.
The partnership reflects a response to the region's demand for secure and reliable digital services, aligning with the ongoing growth in cloud migration, demand for enterprise IT managed services, digital transformation initiatives, and cyber resilience programmes. Organisations striving to modernise legacy systems and improve their IT operations are expected to benefit from the combined capabilities of SIOS Technology and FCS InfoTech.
