Placed within its new and existing data centers in order to support continued rapid business growth
Videocon d2h, a unit of Videocon Industries, has deployed innovative Brocade VCS Fabric Technology running on Brocade VDX switches within its new and existing data centers in order to support continued rapid business growth.
Samir Dhaga, Vice President, IT at Videocon d2h, said, “With such rapid business growth, there has been an exponential increase in the internal data center traffic. With the 1 Gbps network quickly running out of steam, we had to rapidly embrace newer technologies. We therefore embarked on a program to expand capacity by building a third data center and upgrading our existing infrastructure with an emphasis on high-speed internal networks that would support virtualization, availability, and manageability.”
Brocade VDX 6720 switches were initially deployed at Videocon D2h’s new data center, which was specifically designed to support virtualization, with the deployment at the company’s two other facilities following in a second phase. Along with other members of Brocade VDX family, the Brocade VDX 6720 switches feature Brocade VCS Fabric technology, which enables Videocon to “flatten” its data center networks, provide Virtual Machine (VM) mobility without network reconfiguration, and manage the entire fabric more efficiently.
“Videocon d2h’s progress has been spectacular, which has necessitated the rapid adoption of next-generation networking technologies to match the business requirements,” said Edgar Dias, regional director for Brocade India. “Brocade Ethernet fabric solutions address Videocon d2h’s entire data center networking needs: extreme speed, scalability, non-stop resiliency, VM-awareness, and automation in terms of manageability.”
