Juniper Networks to power ESDS's cloud infrastructure in India

Juniper Networks has announced that ESDS has successfully implemented Juniper’s high-performing networking solutions, including the QFX 5100, EX 4550 and MX 104, which have enabled rapid and secure cloud application delivery to their customers.

With ESDS experiencing an increase in workloads due to a fast-growing customer base, the organization required a high-performance, low-latency network that could help them securely deliver cloud applications without risk of delay or disruption. Having a reliable network is especially essential, given that a majority of ESDS’s customers are from critical sectors, such as government and financial services industries, which demand consistent high-performance and uninterrupted access to their applications.

To address this, ESDS selected Juniper Networks to help optimize, automate and secure its cloud application delivery infrastructure. Through the deployment of Juniper’s carrier-grade operating system, Junos OS, ESDS has also streamlined their operations and improved network management while reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO) by 20 per cent, even while experiencing traffic growth of over 50 per cent year-on-year.

Today, Juniper powers more than 90 per cent of the organization’s network infrastructure, helping ESDS drive greater digitization of data storage and processing capabilities across all its markets, particularly within infrastructure development and nation building. In fact, ESDS’s accomplishments have included significant contributions to the Indian government’s efforts in bringing the Pune Smart City vision to life, all the while providing greater flexibility and superior uptime for citizen-centric online services.

With ESDS planning major expansions to Bangalore and other key cities in the near future, ESDS has selected Juniper as their networking partner to power their cloud transformation as they create a secure, scalable and automated multi-cloud environment for their customers.

“As one of the leading cloud service providers in India, we were able to create our own patented vertical auto-scaling technology on our cloud platforms, thereby enabling a scalable cloud infrastructure. With this innovation in place, we needed a network that could support our cloud technology and Juniper helped us achieve that – all the while ensuring that floating virtual machines between multiple data centers were operated with the highest levels of security,” says Piyush Somani, Managing Director, ESDS Software.

“ESDS is a strong player with a proven track record in the cloud and automation space, and we are proud to have been selected to power their network. Their impressive pace of growth in the past few years is a reflection of the immense potential and success for cloud-based solutions in India. Coupled with our commitment to simplifying the journey for customers toward a secure and automated multicloud, we are eager to continue our partnership with ESDS to support their expansion in building a progressive and future-ready cloud for India,” says Ramesh Narasimhan, Sales Director, India, Juniper Networks.
