The Challenge
In the digital era, businesses are striving to deploy high-quality experiences faster to succeed. The acceleration of technology innovation and the aspiration to adopt digital business models present challenges for organizations to meet their business needs. Managing multicloud environments has been a significant challenge for many customers due to different consoles, teams, and skills required to realize the benefits of these clouds. Business leaders are mandating their IT departments to consolidate IT infrastructure to save energy costs, host more applications, share resources across different departments, and enhance security. These requirements often translate into fewer data centers and consolidated server, networking, and storage resources that can host multiple applications shared by multiple departments.
The Customer

Zensar Technologies

About The Customer
Zensar Technologies is a leading digital solutions and services company with offices in more than 24 countries. It partners with global organizations on their digital transformation journey. Zensar generally focuses on a handful of industries: airlines, manufacturing, high tech, healthcare, insurance, and banking. Even in areas outside these vertical markets, where perhaps Zensar serves more as a managed service provider, the company prides itself on being there for the long haul. For example, for one major U.S. city, Zensar manages their whole infrastructure, including routers, switches, all the network components as well as infrastructure components.
The Solution
Zensar Technologies partnered with NetApp as part of the FlexPod Managed Private Cloud (MPC) program to address these challenges. Zensar can now deliver the FlexPod converged infrastructure MPC offering, which integrates NetApp storage, Cisco compute, networking resources, and The Vinci, Zensar’s smart autonomics platform. The FlexPod solution from NetApp and Cisco, combined with Zensar's Vinci autonomics platform, brings together disparate enterprise components into a single, customer-friendly view. The FlexPod platform hosts infrastructure software and business applications in virtualized and bare-metal environments. It has been tested and validated across leading hypervisors and operating systems. The Vinci platform is used to operationalize a lot of digital transformation tracks that customers are leading with their businesses.
Operational Impact
  • The integrated solution of FlexPod and Vinci has brought numerous operational benefits to Zensar's customers. It has modernized data centers and enabled full-stack automation. The solution has helped in transforming the core and simplifying operations through cognitive automation. It has also enabled customers to deliver superior experiences faster. For instance, for a major U.S. city, Zensar is building a digital citizen framework, which is how they can use Vinci as their managed services platform to sense issues before they are raised by citizens. Another example is a healthcare manufacturing company where Vinci is used to predict and prevent defects with medical devices. Vinci is integrated with sensors in the devices that enable remote service management.
Quantitative Benefit
  • For one leading airline, they get at least three times better performance running SAP HANA workloads on FlexPod.
  • FlexPod helps to achieve persistent memory as one of the foundations for better performance.
  • FlexPod gives customers the ability to scale up with the flexibility that is built into FlexPod architecture.
