Summary
To ensure they could continue to deliver market-leading innovation to their customers, Union Asset Management Company (Union AMC) decided to refresh their data center infrastructure to better support their agile and flexible business strategy.
Working with NTT Ltd. in India they deployed a hyper-converged infrastructure platform, as well as an additional backup location to augment their existing disaster recovery site.
This ensured that they were able to quickly meet all the demands from the business while seamlessly scaling capacity to meet the workload requirements.
This platform also supports their application modernization strategy enabling a new generation of applications leveraging containers and microservices.
Vision
Charting a path to the future of asset management
As a leading financial services organization, Union AMC needed to ensure they can stay ahead of developments in the fast-paced asset management market.
For Union AMC delivering an exceptional client experience is of critical importance and they needed an IT environment that would allow them to deploy new offerings quickly and with no disruption to the existing environment.
Their existing IT environment did not have the flexibility and efficiency to meet these demands so they embarked on a digital infrastructure transformation journey to adopt an architecture that would allow them to achieve their business objectives, for this, they needed a Datacenter services provider in India.
They were looking to boost efficiency, security, and have an environment that was flexible enough to accommodate future technology enhancements.
They also needed to enhance their business continuity strategy to reduce downtime in the event of their primary site being unavailable.
With only a small IT team they looked for a partner with the expertise to assist them in achieving their vision.
Results
