Tata Communications enables DLF to transition its IT infrastructure to cloud for better reliability, security & stability

THE CHALLENGE:

With aggressive expansion plans, DLF was looking for a scalable solution that reduces TCO without diluting its capital / staff resources. Need was also to migrate and host existing IT infrastructure from an on-premise to a cloud-based architecture for better reliability, security and stability. In addition, DLF needed a disaster recovery solution for its business critical applications running on RAMCO system for high availability and resilience (in case of any failover).

THE SOLUTION:

A Microsoft Azure managed services solution from Tata Communications covering DC / DR setup which includes cloud infrastructure, network components and storage. Also, continuous replication between DC and DR ensured applications are up and running at all times. IZO™ Private Connect service ensured cloud traffic is carried at high-speed over the Global VPN and full UTM features were implemented to protect the infrastructure from attacks.

THE RESULT:

Post implementation a 35% reduction in TCO was perceived. Improved availability of its compute and storage environment is reflected in greater end-user satisfaction. Apart from a fault-free process-driven migration of existing on-premise architecture to Azure cloud including databases, reconfiguration of applications on RAMCO, DLF also witnessed increased predictability and reduced uncertainty of business operations due to strong governance.
