Challenge	ENAM Asset Management, one of India’s premier wealth management and financial advisory firms, was facing challenges with its outdated IT infrastructure. As the company expanded and onboarded new clients, its IT systems had not kept pace with its growth. Their legacy networks using Dell’s Blade Server Technology were inefficient and posed a real threat of equipment failure that could potentially impair IT services and restoring critical applications could take hours or even days. Moreover, the IT team relied on many, isolated backup and replication tools for data protection and recovery. Overnight system backups required users to log off from their systems, causing major disruptions and resulting in loss of productivity for four to five hours at a time. ENAM was looking to upgrade to a solution that would offer operational efficiency, expanded storage capacity, ensure superior performance, and put the organization on the fast track to lasting digital transformation.

About Customer	ENAM Asset Management is one of India’s premier wealth management and financial advisory firms. A leading player in India’s capital markets, it has earned its unmatched reputation for trust, over decades. Their clientele includes some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, ultra-high net individuals (UHNIs), high net individuals (HNIs), domestic corporate firms, and non-resident Indian industrialists who rely on their world-class research and knowledge-driven recommendations for portfolio management. ENAM handles assets that are more than $2.5 billion, which includes investments from sovereign wealth funds and pension fund majors. In operation since 1984, ENAM has built a formidable name in the industry. However, as their client roster expanded and data requirements became more demanding the company’s outdated IT infrastructure presented a bottleneck to growth. Read More
Solution	HPE SimpliVity offered ENAM a tailor-made solution that enhanced business continuity while reducing downtime for backup and enabling 24x7 operations. HPE SimpliVity was chosen because it is an award-winning, enterprise-ready solution that combines IT infrastructure and advanced data services into a single, integrated, hybrid cloud solution. HPE OmniStack solution presented a distinct advantage because it did not require any third-party software licensing or OEM integration on the infrastructure platform, and was compatible with existing systems. HPE SimpliVity’s built-in data protection, replication, and disaster recovery features delivered results in 60 seconds or less on average for local backup to restore a 1 TB virtual machine (VM), which eliminated the need for overnight system backups. Once implemented, backup could be completed in just 15 minutes. Moreover, replacing the bulky legacy infrastructure meant significant savings of space in the data center, with new network architecture taking up 4U rack space. This helped ENAM house critical applications in sleek and modular configurations to save 50% of space, as well as reduce power consumption. Read More Log in to view content
