Ericsson AB has won a seven-year deal to consolidate 3 Italia's data centers and modernize its Service Provider Information Technology (SPIT) infrastructure, including the operator's OSS and BSS systems and IT hardware.
The deal involves the introduction of a new virtualized software environment that, when combined with the move from three data centers to just two, will enable 3 Italia to cut its energy and SPIT costs by an estimated 40 percent and 50 percent respectively. That the operator has turned to Ericsson for this deal is not a major surprise, as the two companies have worked closely together on 3 Italia's network infrastructure since 2005.
