Progressive Infotech has recently implemented private cloud at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi. With this installation, IIT Delhi will be able to consolidate its entire departments into a common account. The Progressive Infotech and VMware cloud migration solution moves VMotion from the binds of the local data center of IIT Delhi and enables live migration of both VMs and the back-end storage across the WAN between data centers and clouds.
To facilitate the set-up, Progressive had prepared a workflow that automates the majority of the migration, making it possible to execute with a minimum of manual configuration.
According to Prateek Garg, Founder, CEO & Managing Director, Progressive Infotech, "Cloud computing is the backbone of India's digital future. The set-up of the private cloud at IIT Delhi is a milestone for us. This integrated solution enables long-distance VMotion for the first time as a Private Cloud and does not require re-architecture of their local or remote networks."
Subhashis Banerjee, Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, says, "We are happy with the support provided by VMware and Progressive to the IIT Delhi CSC team to implement a private cloud at IIT Delhi, especially in setting up the physical infrastructure. They have been responsive to our needs and helped us in setting up a facility that has been well appreciated by the user community. "
The set-up has offered flexibility to IIT Delhi, allowing them to move around the workloads easily for load balancing purposes and to allocate computing resources. The Computer Centre of IIT has always received high demand being a research-oriented institute of higher learning, IIT Delhi always faced high demand for computing.
