 "Progressive Infotech Implements Private Cloud At IIT Delhi")
Progressive Infotech, the provider of IT Infrastructure Solutions and Services, has recently implemented India’s first private cloud at 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 datacentre of IIT Delhi and enables live migration of both VMs and the back-end storage across the WAN between datacentres and clouds.
“Cloud computing is the backbone of India’s digital future. The setup 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,” said Prateek Garg, Founder, CEO and Managing Director, Progressive Infotech.
“To investigate the feasibility of moving to a private cloud, IIT Delhi required a proof of concept (POC). Progressive Infotech, successfully showcased live migration, VMotion and other technologies that helped build their confidence in the private cloud approach,” said Garg.
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.
“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,” said Dr. Subhashis Banerjee, Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering.
