RESTON, Va., Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GTL, the leading provider of correctional technology solutions and an innovator in payment services solutions for government, today announced a major investment in data storage, security and integrity by installing EMC® VMAX® All Flash storage systems to support its data infrastructure and its industry-leading data analysis services.

"GTL continues to invest in top-of-the-line, cutting-edge systems that will be going into our National Data Centers," said Garth Johnson, Senior Vice President of Operations at GTL. "We chose EMC Corporation because their technology allows GTL to store, manage, protect and analyze our valued customer information in a more agile, trusted and cost-efficient manner. This investment in EMC's VMAX All Flash arrays puts GTL in an elite category of high-performance systems companies. We are working diligently to put this new technology into production so our customers can continue to benefit from the latest in next-generation products."

As an industry leader, GTL continues to invest in our infrastructure — not only invest but work closely with the best in the industry," added Mr. Johnson.

"EMC VMAX All Flash arrays deliver the legendary reliability and flexibility of the VMAX platform while improving on performance and driving better economics than traditional enterprise disk-based arrays," said Gail Greener, Vice President, Product Management, at EMC.
