CASE STUDY
Enabling IT focused day-to-day operations, reliably, efficiently and at scale.
Client: The Client
Industry: Financial Services
Location: Kolkata, India
Scale: 1000 offices; 2 server halls; approximately 100 racks
The client is one of the leading public sector insurance companies of India, carrying out non-life insurance business. Headquartered in Kolkata, the client's network of about 1000 offices, manned by more than 16,000 skilled personnel, is spread over the length and breadth of the country covering remote rural areas, townships and metropolitan cities.
Our Client's Challenge
In order to cater to the newer dimensions of insurance and matching customer expectations, the client took up transformation of its business processes using IT as the key enabler for its day to day operations. The client completed the re-design of its core business processes and is in the process of implementation of the “Enterprise Architecture Solution for Insurance” (EASI). EASI is a centralized application suite consisting of more than 20 applications. Contrary to the earlier application, which was decentralized, EASI requires uninterrupted connection to the centralized servers hosted at the client's data centre (DC).
The client offices across the country are currently served through Data Centre (DC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) Site, geographically separate entities. The network switches at DC and DR are due for a refresh and the requirement is for procurement of such network devices along with installation, commissioning and their maintenance.
Installation/implementation, configuration, commissioning, maintenance / support of DC & DR Network Devices and the required cabling in DC & DR.
"Accurate, real-time visibility into the sites' physical connectivity & improved network output."
Our RiT Tech solution
RiT intelligent cabling of Fibre & Copper solutions in a mixed topology helped the customer to manage all cabling in a central patch rack where it’s distributed to other server halls and floors.
Intelligent cabling provides cross-connect and interconnect patching to the switches and helps the customer to track patching and manage the data centre in a graphical way. With the Phase 2 order, the solution helped the customer to migrate to the interconnect solution without any hassle and saves space in the rack and without losing any management capabilities.
- 2 server halls (DC and DR). Approximately 100 racks.
