Virgin Media O2 Aims for Zero Emissions with Pure

One of the UK¡¯s largest telecos, Virgin Media O2 depends on deep customer insight to deliver services effectively, so when its storage struggled to handle growing demands, the company made the switch to Everpure.

Download Case Study

Summary

Formed by the merger of two powerhouse companies, Virgin Media O2 serves over 47 million connections in the UK, providing quad-play services: TV, broadband, phone, and mobile coverage. The company uses deep customer insight and a commitment to sustainability to stand out from other telcos. When its legacy storage approached end of life, Virgin Media O2 sought a high-performance solution that would also contribute to sustainability. With Everpure, analytics run faster, power bills are lower, storage footprint is smaller, and upgrades are non-disruptive.

Challenges

With 47 million customers, Virgin Media O2 has an enormous volume of data to analyse and manage. The ever-growing data volumes increasingly stressed legacy storage, and upgrades created risk of service outages that could compromise services. The company needed to make a change that would not imperil operations and would support its need to hit zero carbon emissions across its entire value chain by 2040.
