Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) is a leading global manufacturer specializing in fluoropolymers, specialty chemicals, refrigerants, and other industrial products. With a legacy spanning over 30 years, GFL operates with vertically integrated facilities in India, a captive fluorspar mine in Morocco, and a robust global presence with offices and warehouses in Europe and the USA. The company is known for its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in fluorine-based chemistry for diverse industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy.
The existing system was outdated, lacked support, and caused frequent downtime, reducing operational efficiency. Slow system responsiveness led to high user response times, impacting productivity. Reliance on legacy IBM p7 hardware restricted scalability, performance, and compatibility with modern software solutions.
Yotta provided world class Yotta Power Cloud with the latest IBM P9 series, which gave 4X speed and upgraded database. Whole solution was built on HA environment giving near-zero down time for the Production environment, even in the event of any failures. It also streamlined their speed with increased background processes, which enabled them to execute larger data reports in quick time.
Upgrading to Yotta Power Cloud with IBM p9 enhanced system speed and efficiency, reducing response times by 30% and improving user experience. The scalable IBM p9 handled increased workloads, supported modern databases with high availability, ensured ongoing support for security and updates, and simplified operations through a single vendor for multiple services.
Confident in Yotta’s services, and the Yotta Power Cloud – powered by IBM, GFL outsourced its IBM environment. Yotta’s team conducted a meticulous evaluation of GFL’s infrastructure utilization, optimizing the overall infrastructure. Collaborating closely with the partners, and the customer’s IT team, Yotta ensured a smooth upgradation process from p7 to p9, with daily exchanges of actionable insights. In addition, Commvault backup was also scheduled for these machines, along with storage.
“”Yotta Power Cloud with the latest IBM p9 transformed our operations, significantly boosting system speed and scalability while reducing response times considerably. The seamless integration with modern databases and single-vendor support from Yotta has streamlined our processes, enhancing efficiency and reliability.”
