As a KPO, Evalueserve’s focus is on research and analytics.
Information is therefore critical to the business. As this
information was growing exponentially at Evalueserve, the firm
needed better management and control of data to meet business
demands.
To address these issues, the firm undertook a project that aimed at
reducing the complexity of the storage network, while ensuring
faster and more secure data recovery in the event of a crisis. The
firm adopted backup and data management tools from IBM. With the
solution in place, the firm has been able to show significant and
positive results to the management. As a result of deploying this
solution, storage demands have been reduced by 25 percent.
Evalueserve has also been able to control the number of tape
cartridges it was using for day-to-day backup by implementing a
progressive incremental methodology for storage. This methodology
has helped the firm in increasing the data redundancy and reducing
the network bandwidth and storage consumption.
The project has also helped Evalueserve in controlling storage
growth. For instance, the firm has implemented hierarchical storage
management (HSM) which automatically moves rarely-used or inactive
files from premium primary storage to a hierarchy of a secondary
low-cost storage. This solution has helped the firm reduce the cost
for premium storage space.
Post initiation of this project, the firm has a reduced backup
window and it can recover data quickly. Centralized and automated
data protection helps the firm reduce the risk of data loss, while
ensuring better compliance. Internal clients (business line) are
happy with faster response and improved efficiency.
