Petronet LNG Limited, one of the companies in the Indian energy sector, has set up the country's first LNG receiving and regasification terminal in Dahej, Gujarat, and another terminal in Kochi, Kerala. Formed as a joint venture by the Government of India to import LNG and set up LNG terminals in the country, it involves India's leading oil and natural gas industry players. The client’s requirement was to have a hardware refresh, storage upgradation and seamless migration from physical to virtual at Delhi & Dahej location and New Virtualized infra deployment at Kochi location.
What Creative Infotech suggested:
We had implementedTraditional VMWare virtualized infrastructure with 3no’s of HPE DL380 Gen10 hosts and 3PAR upgrade kit.
Migrated their 2003Active Directory to 2019 version with all their users, Roles and Policies.
Migrated their existing Lotus Domino and Lotus traveler server to new Virtualized Infrastructure.
Migrated their Existing File server which is in cluster to new Virtualized infrastructure.
How our solutions helped the client:
Our solutions helped the client improve on performance. The new hardware that was installed is quicker and more productive than their existing hardware. Not only is new hardware protected from all existing threats, hackers are unfamiliar with these new systems. Hence, the firm is protected from unexpected hacker attacks. Older hardware becomes less reliable over time and this is why crashes on older systems can easily become commonplace.
However, with hardware upgraded, downtime is reduced due to the increased reliability of the new hardware. The storage upgrade has helped the firm store more data at their respective centers. The management of the whole infrastructure became effortless and simple.
Site Challenges:
Challenges in migrating 2003 active directory to the latest 2019 version, which would also be done online where all the 3 locations are working round the clock. Mails - always a critical part for every business…Migrated all the two domino servers of Delhi and Dahej flawlessly to the new Infrastructure.
