►Industries GCC is organized into a number of specialized Business Units, on a well-structured hybrid matrix which is presented on a Go-To Market Model for Small, Medium and Large Enterprises. Each business unit acts independently either in a vertical or horizontal or both vertical and horizontal manner, always in co-operation with each other.

Telecommunications & Utilities

T

he Telecom operators are finding themselves on a critical point as far as evolution of their industry is concerned. While they are forced by market forces -subscribers- to build new generation and high speed mobile and fixed networks, their mainstream offering – traditional source of revenue- is being commoditized making it very difficult for them to raise the funds necessary to meet the continuously growing demand of their customers! In addition, three major trends/factors – demand for universal connectivity, modular technologies and increasing competition from the OTT playersare forcing all Telecom Operators to search new ways of creating value for themselves. GCC is fully aligned with all these changes and trends! Partnering with leading vendors we are in a position to provide a big gamut of solutions to our Telecom customers covering most of their needs whether those arise from Infrastructure (HP, Juniper Networks, Ciena, ARRIS etc), Security (Fortinet, AKAMAI, BlueLiv, IBM, HP, Alien Vault etc), Telecom Solutions (Enghouse Networks, ASCOM, Maxicaster, Polystar, True Position, Creativity etc) or even their traditional Business Solutions – OSS/ BSS- (Cerilion).

Public/Government

he Public & Government Business Unit is looking after the Broader Public Sectors in a vertical approach. The

team co-ordinates the activities and works closely, where necessary, with the rest of GCC’s BUs and Technology Solution Vendors in addressing business opportunities in the areas of: ● IT Hardware Solutions - HP’s whole range of products ● Network and security infrastructure in co-operation with the Networks & Security BU ● Network, Applications and IT Infrastructure Management Solutions in co-operation with the Telecoms & Utilities BU GCC Computers offers specific core business solutions such as: ● Law Enforcement and Correction solutions ● High-Security identification document solutions

►Industries processes to deliver innovative financial products while protecting and scaling the network infrastructure. Financial Institutions also demand high-performance, highly resilient cyber-security that can protect critical applications and infrastructure flawlessly and with low latency, especially in today’s markets where banks are under constant threat of cyber-attack. At the same time new technologies and business models such as Mobile Banking, Blockchain and other Disruptive Ledger (i.e. P2P money transfer and Lending from Mobile apps) make it significant for financial institutions to explore new technologies and move forward. We at GCC want to be part of the Bank evolution and act as your trusted business partners and consultants. Through Strategic partnerships, we are able to cover most of the needs of a Financial Institution in all areas whether that is in the area of Compliance, AML, KYC and Fraud, or Mobile Banking and of course infrastructure, network and security.

SME (Small Medium Enterprises)

S

MEs are a unique group of businesses – in many ways, more dynamic than the consumer and large enterprise markets. While they may be united by their relatively small size, SMEs vary greatly in terms of their needs and preferences. A standardized go-to-market approach might work for individual consumers and large enterprises, but there is no such one-sizefits-all approach for providers of services to SMEs. Enterprises in this category may have a few things in common, but they remain highly diverse. Addressing the SME market requires accepting that it comprises micro-markets with differing needs. GCC is building a unique value proposition which first of all is segmenting the potential customer base. Segments will typically have differentiated value proposition needs, financial potential, and go-to market approaches. Cloud services are gaining ground in all segments, but small and medium-sized enterprises present a unique opportunity. Understanding and addressing is what sets GCC apart from the competition. Solutions include: ● Infrastructure ● Networking & Security ● Cloud Services ● IP telephony ● Streaming Media ● Support Services

he days of legacy data centers are over. The new data center landscape is largely virtualized and spread across multiple, geographically distributed sites and public, private, and hybrid cloud environments. But building, connecting, and securing this array of computing power is a complex job—and one that requires a new type of data center network, starting with an architecture optimized for the cloud era and an infrastructure that gives you agility, automation, and simplicity. GCC Computers builds networks which are simple, open and smart. Cooperating with reputable vendors like Juniper Networks, Ciena, ARRIS, AKAMAI, Aruba Networks etc we enable our customers to deploy new applications, services, and technologies quickly and easily, with secure, always-on access to data.

Network Security

t is clear that digital threats have turned into the most widely recognized—and genuine— problems with devastating effects to enterprise networks. Intellectual property, revenue, customer and company records, and other critical resources are at risk. Unfortunately enterprise networks often lack adequate security solutions much less the human resources to recognize the business risks - that is until the damage is already done. Point-products providing security solutions for specific purposes may provide adequate protection against specific single-threaded threats, however a new breed of blended-threats and attacks utilize a multitude of attack vectors. GCC Computers has a broad portfolio of security solutions which can address those sophisticated attacks. Partnering with reputable vendors like FORTINET, AKAMAI, BlueLiv etc we can enable our customers to protect their most valuable asset, their data. Our solution gamut includes, but is not limited to, the following: ● Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) ● Data Center Firewall >Internal Segmentation Firewall ● Next Gen Firewall (NGFW,NGIPS) ● Public Cloud Computing ● Secure Access >Secure Hybrid WAN ● SDN & Network Virtualization ● Secure Communications We have the knowledge and the expertise to deliver the above solutions to all Market Sectors including Retail, Healthcare, Education, Financial Services, Cloud providers, MSSPs, Mobile Carriers, Utilities (Critical Infrastructure/SCADA), SME etc.

IT Infrastructure

ata centers are evolving from isolated resource “islands” to interconnected pools of virtualized resources shared between multiple data center locations — effectively creating “data centers without walls” that help businesses cut costs and maximize IT efficiency. The total amount of information stored today by all the businesses worldwide exceeds 2 zettabytes. Information is expected to grow around 60 percent for enterprises and over 170 percent for SMBs. To be even more agile, businesses can move some of their virtual servers to the cloud and virtualize their data center resources. By pooling virtual data center resources across multiple data centers, total resource requirements can be reduced by up to 35 percent providing enterprise-class cloud services that can scale flexibly will result in lower costs for businesses than today’s isolated data center. The Future of the Data Center is envisioned by Software Defined Infrastructure technologies Software Defined technologies are considered the next step in the evolution of data centers, virtualization and cloud computing. The combination of server virtualization, software-defined networks (SDN), software-defined storage (SDS) and automation will enable the creation of a truly dynamic, virtualized data center. SDN and SDS will have a place in the ultimate vision of the fully-automated, fully-dynamic infrastructure. Customers can rely on strategic partnerships between GCC Computer along with leading industry vendors like Hewlett Packard Enterprise, VMware, Microsoft, Oracle etc. to implement end to end Converged (Server, Storage, Network) Infrastructure, Virtualization, Data Center transformation, optimization and automation solutions, among others.

Client Computing

ring Your Own Device (BYOD) is another battle in the war between security and productivity. End users from the CEO down to line workers want the ability to use personal devices for work purposes. Workers have discovered the power of constant connectivity and have come to

expect secure access to their corporate network regardless of location. The promises of increased productivity and worker satisfaction have brought BYOD to the forefront of most IT discussions today. The Workplace has changed and enterprises feel the pressure to adapt to that increasing demand from their employees. However, they are facing a major concern, how to balance between a free workplace and a secure one. GCC has the expertise and the knowledge to help organizations move from a desktop computing environment to an end-user client computing environment aligning at all times with the organization’s regulations and standards. Moreover, our Wireless solution gamut (Fortinet/ MERU and Aruba Networks) does include analytics tools which can help marketing departments of organizations in different industries (Banks, Retail, Automotive, ISPs) to provide wireless access to their customers and at the same time use that infrastructure to push marketing messages turning the Wifi infrastructure to a revenue generating solution.
