Currently, Essar Group is hosting 100 plus applications at Yotta NM1, including collaboration tools, communication applications, SAP ERP, HR-related applications, and multiple engineering applications. These applications are accessed by more than 7,000+ users (including internal users as well as external customers) across the globe.
Moreover, the presence of the multi-layer physical security, an essential requirement for any Tier IV data center; and the availability of a SOC to monitor the real-time cyber security incidents ensure total security of the Essar Group’s assets hosted at Yotta NM1 facility. At the top of these, the implementation of rack-level lock-in, a form of electronic access control at the rack level that adds significant levels of security and audit trails to server equipment, adds another layer of security.
“Looking at the security infrastructure of Yotta NM1, we no longer need to invest in additional resources. This migration has brought complete peace of mind and we can now focus more on closely working with business teams to understand their overall process requirements and implement technologies accordingly,” mentions Prabhu.
From the network connectivity perspective, the Essar Group does not have to deal with multiple ISVs now. They have to ensure that they are well connected to the connectivity room located within the NM1 data center. Even the connectivity failure is well taken care of, as Yotta offers multiple back-up lines.
The other significant benefit for Essar is on the savings for power consumption. Since the earlier data centers were spread across different locations, the organisation paid according to different tariff charges. Post this consolidation; it is now following a single tariff. Most importantly, the Essar team is witnessing significant savings on power cost, as the unit rates in Panvel is considerably lower than Hazira or Mumbai.
