VMware Infrastructure+Migration P2V

Location: Mulund, Mumbai

Critical Needs:

BSG is the fastest growing Fintech solution provider in the country. BSG began its operation in 2010. Over the past few years BSG has been the undisputed market leader in the Banking domain. It has an extensive relationship with the country's leading co-operative banks and private sector banks.

With the number of clients increasing day by day, the client required virtualized infrastructure for their Core Banking customers. It cannot afford to go down because banking is a necessary feature, hence the infrastructure should be secured to serve their 24x7 running workloads.

What Creative Infotech suggested:

We had implemented Traditional VMWare virtualized infrastructure with 2 of HPE DL380 Gen10 hosts and an MSA 2052 shared storage at their DC location and one DL 380 server with inbuilt storage at their DR location. We also implemented redundancy on switching and on Security appliances at DC. Also, vSphere Replication is implemented to replicate the DC load to the DR site.

How our solutions helped the client:

There are crores of customers that daily deal with daily banking activity. Daily lacs of customers try to create new accounts, do daily transactions and do day-to-day banking activities. Due to our solution, the client could attain better distributed resources planning which simplifies in adding new Hosts into the current infrastructure. Management of the whole infrastructure was made simple and effortless. In the banking sector, it is extremely important to keep the system secured. Hence, we also provided a secured infrastructure with redundant firewalls and switches.

Site Challenges:

Site having one of the SAP HANA Developer Vendors, so we have to tune-up together with multiple configuration and patching as they required for their SAP HANA Develop and customization
