Tara Sistem escalates business growth
in Turkey with storage platform
V
iolin Systems LLC, a leading provider of extreme-performance
enterprise storage, has announced that Turkish data storage
infrastructure specialists, Tara Sistem, is leveraging the company’s
Flash Storage Platform to help customers transform from
conventional IT infrastructures to all-flash data storage systems to
support growing business needs.
A leading flash data storage solution provider in Turkey, Tara Sistem
helps companies overcome bottlenecks in traditional IT infrastructures
by deploying all-flash solutions that drive faster application
performance, simplifies data centre management and reduces the
processing power requirements in data centres. Founded in 2006,
the company shifted from traditional disk-based systems to all-flash
systems in 2013, but has found a tremendous uptick in sales since
switching from its previous all-flash supplier to partnering with Violin.
“Because of our focus in helping modernise our customers’
infrastructures through the adoption of all-flash solutions, it is
imperative that we work with leading vendors that are able to supply
the extreme performance needed to help optimise the storage
environment,” said Aybars Gümüş, General Manager of Tara Sistem.
“Since partnering with Violin, our sales momentum has significantly
increased. The Violin Flash Storage Platform is uniquely positioned
to provide the extreme performance needed to satisfy the most
demanding applications in a smaller footprint and at the same cost
as traditional storage.”
With the Violin Flash Storage Platform, enterprises can transition from
legacy storage solutions to enterprise-class, all-flash storage to achieve
favourable CAPEX and OPEX scenarios. The Violin Flash Storage
Platform features a performance optimised platform with rich data
services to enable the transition of storage from legacy solution to all-
flash, helping businesses achieve high throughput and lower latency.

Turkcell and Huawei jointly experienced
SingleRAN Pro-based TM9 networks to
embark on road to 5G
T
urkcell has successfully tested TM9
commercial networks in its Tech City.
A few days of monitoring suggests that
user experience and network performance
all meet the design targets. The activation
of TM9 in Turkcell’s network is a prelude
of evolution towards a massive antenna
network, it lays a solid foundation for future
capacity expansion through higher order
MIMO, as well as stepping into the 5G era. It
also releases positive signals for the maturity
of the TM9 industry in Turkey.
TM9 is a key technology defined by 3GPP
Release 10. Based on the new designed
transmission mode, TM9 breaks the technical
barriers of network evolution to multi-
antenna networking and paves the way for
further improvement of network capacity.
In a multi-antenna network, TM9 can help
a base station form a user-specific beam
(Beamforming) and enable single user

improving cell capacity and user experience.
multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO)
and multi-user multiple-input multiple-output
(MU-MIMO) technology, thereby effectively
Turkcell’s current LTE networks are
widely equipped with 4T4R sites, after
the activation of TM9 in those Tech City
sites and a few days of observation, user
experience is proven to meet design target.
“The launch of TM9 is a key milestone
of Turkcell Tech City project this year,”
said Gediz Sezgin, CTO of Turkcell. “TM9
is the evolution trend of All Business
Connected LTE network and is a necessary
technology in 5G era networks. Turkcell
took the first step in this direction, laying a
solid foundation for delivering better user
experience and for developing full service-
like video, wireless broadband, Internet
of Things (IoT) in Turkcell’s All Business
Connected LTE network. In addition, our
interest in TM9 will lead the device industry
in Turkey towards TM9.” n
