The problem: On the cloud, but complex

Need of the hour: Seamless operations through simplicity

Axis Capital Limited had its own data center with a fully virtual environment. But with rapid business growth, IT agility became a problem. To match the speed of its business, it needed a scalable IT infrastructure with sufficient storage and optimum operational efficiency.

While virtualization of the data center was a step in the right direction, maintenance costs and inefficiencies were adding complexities to the business.

What Axis Capital Limited needed was a solution that could quickly integrate with its existing infrastructure and simplify data center operations. The enterprise needed to streamline its architecture, optimize operational expenses, and deliver better ROI, as soon as possible.

“Although the presence of our own data center simplified business processes, we struggled to keep pace with rapid business transitions. The ever-growing need for agility in business demanded an increase in IT agility too.”
