Allianz, Hungary's largest insurance company with three million customers, estimates it will save more than $100,000 a year by deploying the Cisco technology instead of employing multiple links to connect two data centres located 14kms apart in Budapest. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), optical and Storage Area Networking (SAN) technologies will help Allianz Hungary extend its business continuity infrastructure, reduce operational risk and address industry compliance guidelines. Cisco provides a scalable and cost effective solution that protects the company's investment, where other technologies can cost up to three times as much.
