Virtual Data Centre

A Virtual Data Centre is the pool of virtualized resources like CPU, Memory, Storage, Network and Security that offers the same features and components as a hardware data center, with the difference that these components are emulated, i.e. produced by software. This allows us to adjust performance parameters and components in a few moments.

ABT Info Cloud, as one of the providers of virtual data centres, can manage it for you or give you complete control.

Benefits

Agile - Spin virtual data center as fast you think instant of spending too much of time to build/upgrade on-prem Data Center

TCO - Reduced Total Cost of Ownership by eliminating higher capital investment and management overheads

The Company

Cloud backup Solution for a Government of India recognized star export house manufacturing high quality woven fabrics, home textiles in Tirupur.

Challenges they faced

Even though they used very reputable partners for tape handling, it always made them nervous when their data left their facilities.

The Solution

They backup their workloads locally using staging server which is automatically backed up to Azure cloud where they can be retained up to 99 years eliminating their needs for tapes. They used the Azure Backup Offline Seeding capability to copy their initial 1 TB of data to cloud. Thereafter, Azure Backup transfers only incremental data during daily backups, reducing storage consumption and need for huge bandwidth.

Why Azure

Having moved to Azure to reduce their IT and datacenter costs, the company started to look for an alternative to their tape backups which was proving both cumbersome and expensive. Now they know that their data is either on their premises or in the Azure cloud, which delivers greater peace of mind.

Benefits

Putting backup in Azure also yields savings. Now they back up to a cheap bunch of disks rather than an expensive storage solution and don’t have to worry about managing space on expensive purpose-built backup storage systems. They have no tape costs, management costs, nothing. Backup is dramatically cheaper with Azure.

By implementing backup in the cloud, they were able to reallocate one full-time staff member to new projects. They have been able to transfer resources to new project work that makes the business more competitive. The cloud has allowed their staff to focus on activities that are more strategic in nature giving them confidence to consider moving other applications to the cloud. Proprietary and Confidential. Reproduction or distribution is strictly prohibited without express written consent

Summary

By using Azure Backup and getting better protection for business-critical workloads, greater peace of mind, lower costs, and an excited staff, the customer believes that these add up to a pretty good ROI.

Their market is always moving faster, and the cloud allows them to be more nimble and aggressive. Now they are no longer worrying about backup and other operational tasks.

Enterprise Applications

Migrating enterprise applications, such as email and collaboration software, to a Virtual Data Centre environment is an effective way for IT departments to overcome challenges around capacity planning, application performance and workload management.

The Company

One of the leader leading industrial chain, gear boxes and couplings manufacturer has decided to implement ERP to integrate all their day to day processes in various branches across India and the globe. Any system implemented must get inputs from all these branches and should process & generate reports for the management to take accurate decisions. The Idea was to collect data from all the branches and integrate them at the Head Office.

The Challenge

Crucial data is being transferred from the branches to the Head Office. Hence all its data must be transferred or stored securely. A mechanism is required to track usage and to identify and prevent abuse. In case of failure in one network a backup network is also required in order to avoid any disruption in data transfers from the branches. The company wanted a high availability solution as the data transfer is crucial for its day to day decision making process. Since all the branches will be uploading data at regular intervals, simultaneous users at peak time will be huge.

The Solution

The company’s application server was shifted and co-located in ABTInfo.Net’s Data Center. Users were provided access to their respective application using a given username and password. Users can directly access the application from their respective location round the clock and with required speed. The peak hour load issues and network downtime has been eliminated.

The Benefitss
  • The company was able to retrieve data from each branch automatically.
  • High availability and security of data is achieved.
  • Data transfer between HO and all branches are made seamlessly.
  • Servers are of high availability with good bandwidth as the servers are pre-hardened and are maintained in an amicable environment.
