Isilon deployment helps ensure compliance, improve performance and efficiency, optimize investment and support innovation
Saregama India, an Indian music label and content producer for Indian television has successfully completed its implementation of a Dell EMC Isilon scale-out storage cluster to help accelerate production and distribution for its digital media business. To help ensure business continuity, Saregama uses Isilon’s built-in SnapshotIQ technology to make low-impact and user-recoverable data backups. Isilon InsightIQ, a built-in monitoring and reporting tool also helps maximize performance.
Data Consolidation Eases Access, Improves Security: Isilon will help Saregama India Ltd to consolidate all data into a single location. This will help keep the data highly secure as well as easily available through access from a single volume, to which the various teams involved in production and distribution would have access. Cataloging and distribution to various partners and online platforms is simplified through an easy-to-manage system that ensures data is immediately discoverable and instantly available.
Seamless systems: The single 4-node Isilon X-Series cluster provides 144 terabytes of raw data storage capacity. With the help of Isilon storage, employees at Saragema India Ltd. are now able to experience seamless, high performance systems that improve productivity for production and distribution of its digital content.
Compliance to Business Continuity Plans: Isilon has also helped the company to be compliant with its own business continuity plans, which require all data to be protected. The scale-out capabilities of Isilon support the company’s expanding business ventures and its goal to become the most popular source for Indian music content.
Yazad Anklesaria, Deputy General Manager of Technology and IT, Saregama said, “Our data was previously stored in multiple locations. In continuing our digitization project, we wanted to consolidate all data into a single, mappable location so it was easily discoverable and able to be used by different departments within the company. Previously there was resistance to investment in new technology because it has complicated processes and hampered access to data. With Dell EMC Isilon storage, content is immediately available and the entire team is very happy with the performance delivered.”
Amit Mehta, Director-Sales, Emerging Technology Storage Division at DELL EMC ,India & SAARC said, “Dell EMC believes in supporting our customers in their expanding business ventures and to achieve their goals. Isilon storage will help ensure continuation of Saregama India Ltd‘s IT transformation process and at the same time will help the company to optimize its content processing, cataloging, searching and distribution. This will help Saregama to be the most popular source for Indian music content.”
