S&B India's existing setup had served them well until now. As their workload grew, they were looking to refresh their IT infrastructure to be scalable for at least the next five years. Hence, they knew hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) was the answer. Given the scale, complexities, and criticality of the engineering and design services that S&B India offers to crucial capital goods, basic materials, and energy sectors, data integrity and high availability are paramount for the organization. Until recently S&B India ran on a conventional setup of HPE servers with SAN storage and several applications including CAD/CAM and Oracle database running on VMware® clusters. As the organizational workload continued to rapidly grow, S&B India was overwhelmed with IT performance issues. Given the resource requirement creeping up on S&B India's IT infrastructure and network, its far-site, on-premises disaster recovery setup wasn't keeping up with the scale. Space constraints to continuously add infrastructure and lack of centralized server control added to the woes.

One of the pioneers in the engineering sector in India, S and B Engineers and Constructors LLP (S&B India) relies quite heavily on its progressive IT ecosystem to offer a wide array of high-end engineering and allied services. From providing specialized functional designs to engineering services including basic and detail engineering, Front End Engineering Design (FEED), procurement assistance, project management consultation, and construction supervision, S&B India has executed hundreds of projects globally across refining, petrochemical, chemical, water treatment, and pharmaceutical industries. Given the scale, complexities, and criticality of the engineering and design services that S&B India offers to crucial capital goods, basic materials, and energy sectors, data integrity and high availability are paramount for the organization.

After thorough deliberations and extraneous testing, S&B India adopted the HCI platform from HPE SimpliVity that integrated S&B India's server, storage, and virtualized applications in just two nodes deployed at their data center at Noida, India. HPE SimpliVity also helped S&B India to augment its off-site disaster recovery with a single node at its Bengaluru, Karnataka office. S&B India consolidated its server compute, storage capacities, and 25-odd applications running on VMs into three all-flash, integrated nodes of HPE SimpliVity-two deployed at Noida, backed up with one node at Bengaluru for disaster recovery. Built-in backup and bandwidth-efficient replication of HPE SimpliVity empowers the IT resiliency of S&B India against risks of data loss and expensive business downtimes. The always-on deduplication and compression features of HPE SimpliVity are slated to reduce S&B India's storage and backup capacity utilization by 10X, future-proofing its scalability considerably.
