Dell’s Highly Scalable Solution Improves Business Responsiveness for JM Financial Services

Business Wire
JM Financial Services Ltd, one of India’s largest brokerage
firms, consolidated their infrastructure on Dell PowerEdge Servers
with VMWare virtualization software and Dell EqualLogic storage
solutions. This enabled JMFS to eliminate system downtime and
ensure the high availability of their trading systems to secure
continued customer loyalty.
To provide effective financial solutions and sustain a business
model that caters to their clients’ varied requirements, JMFS
operates complex trading systems, connects to multiple stock
exchanges, and provides real-time trading information to clients.
The company required a scalable infrastructure that would meet the
high-availability demands of their clients and eliminate frequent
system downtime.
JMFS decided to consolidate the server infrastructure at the
company’s data center to optimize server utilization and deliver
redundancy, both of which were essential in maximizing uptime for
mission-critical applications. Their previous setup consisted of
standalone legacy servers, and the challenge of maintaining
multiple platforms was affecting efficiency. To achieve resource
optimization, a reduced server footprint and high availability,
they needed to consolidate their server infrastructure on a robust
platform. They replaced their legacy servers with Dell’s servers
and reduced their server footprint by almost 88%.
In addition to virtualizing their data center, JMFS also
deployed a Dell EqualLogic PS6000XV storage area network (SAN)
solution to provide maximum uptime for their critical applications.
The SAN supports a clustered environment of servers at JMFS and
provides a highly scalable storage capacity that can expand on
demand, crucial to the company’s dynamic and rapidly changing
business environment.
Dell was the chosen vendor for their scalability and level of
support offered. Dell’s support was direct, fast and reliable,
which eased the burden on the company when issues needed to be
resolved quickly. Additionally, the team of Dell engineers who
customized and deployed the solution facilitated a comprehensive
knowledge transfer process during implementation to ensure that the
company’s internal IT team was confident in maintaining the
solution. Due to this JMFS was able to solve a majority of issues
internally.
Quotes:
“We are able to respond to the needs of the business faster with
the scalability offered by the Dell EqualLogic storage solution. We
can easily provision capacity for a new project within 15 to 20
minutes, which could earlier take up to a month even before the
equipment was ordered. Working with Dell has been a rewarding
experience and we look forward to greater collaboration in the
future.” – Titus Gunaseelan, Head, Information Technology, JM

“Dell’s solutions have enabled JMFS to increase business
responsiveness, eliminate system downtime, decrease energy
consumption and reduce maintenance. Lack of legacy and ability to
scale is our strong point.” – Amit Luthra, National Manager,
Storage Solutions Marketing, Dell
