CMIFPE's Virtualization deployment |
The company virtualized their entire data center in Mumbai.
It was a great challange in converting the entire Jing Bang from Physical to
virtual. Initially they faced performance issues with SAP and were not
getting the appropriate IOPS. Now they are more stable and secure in terms
of High Availability and Fault Tolerance. The performance is optimised and
there is huge capital & recurring cost savings. |

ICICI Bank's Backup Optimisation |
ICICI Bank has deployed software products for online storage
management, data backup & recovery, etc. at its data center in Mumbai. The
backup percentage hovered around 80-85% with regular failures for critical
systems and repeated failure for many systems. The project undertaken was to
achieve 99.5% plus backup success percentage and this required daily root
cause analysis of each and every failure and taking immediate corrective
steps. The result was an achievement of over 99.5% back up percentage in
less tan 8 weeks time. |

CEAT's TAKE IT FORWARD |
Established in 1958, CEAT is a leading tyre manufacturer in
the country. The organization had need of 21 infrastructure servers across
four locations already. The organization decided to re-visit its entire
infrastructure and create a future-ready IT roadmap. As a part of this
process, the company evaluated their platform and messaging along with the
latest virtualization technologies available. The company decided to upgrade
to Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. They managed to curtail expenses and at
the same time, it has also managed to implement the latest and best of the
technologies. This has resulted in a much higher return on investment
compared to either building an in house data centre or outsourcing it to a
hosting company. |

opted for a new path breaking technology that will lead to better IT
infrastructure usage, faster network response, better manageability of
devices and commercial savings. |

College of Defence Management |
College of Defence Management wasn't sure as to how they
could build a robust and scalable IP based system that could replace their
existing telephone copper network to ensure a converged network. Their
existing campus network was vulnerable to environmental as well as external
threats. They have deployed a True Triple Play Solution from Allied Telesis.
Among the benefits they have achieved are single infrastructure for all
services with intelligent service redundancies build in the design, instead
of multiple infra for different services, entire solution on fiber. This is
deployed in Hyderabad |

Tata Teleservices' Single Platform, Multiple Benefits |
Spread over 70 locations in the country, with over 10,000
employees, TTSL management's primary challenge was ensuring effective
communication and collaboration. There was a clear need for more effective
collaboration within geographically dispersed teams. TTSL had been using
Microsoft Live Communication Server since 2006. This had eased some of the
pain points but a considerable amount of money was still being spent on
travel across the country. We needed a solution with features like chat,
audio, and video conferencing tools, content sharing. We decided to partner
with Wipro Technologies who set up the server infrastructure and rolled out
the solution to the initial set of users. The in-house IT partner Tata
Consultancy Services then took over and deployed the application to the rest
of the company |
