Case study
Indian Oil
Corporation
(IndianOil)
Industry
Oil and gas
“During a pilot programme
we learned that we required
huge additional storage
space to the tune of an
extra 48TB. HPE
demonstrated how we could
achieve the same eect
through clever mixing of
dierent storage and disk
configurations at dierent
sites. A huge task that was
impressively and
successfully undertaken. ”
– Deepak Agarwal, general manager IT,
IndianOil
The total space saved in three data centres
is 72TB, which IndianOil calculates will mean
no need to pay for any more storage for at
least five years. In terms of one-time savings,
we have achieved a benefit of Rs 28.8
million. Also, considering the current growth
rate of 150GB per month and provision of
disk space for growth, we are achieving a
recurring monthly savings of Rs 72,000.”
Impressive IT infrastructure results
The positive IT infrastructure improvements
are equally impressive. The database size
has been reduced by 62 per cent from 15TB
to 5.6TB. Users are enjoying a 35 per cent
improvement in database response times,
from 460ms to 295ms. Overall SAP ERP
response time has been slashed by one third
from 900ms to 600ms.
Meanwhile, peak front-end storage IOPs of
around 40,000 have been drastically cut by
70 per cent to 12,000. IndianOil IT resources
are also receiving a productivity boost with
backup time falling by more than 60 per
cent from eight hours to three hours.
Agarwal reflects: “This was a very complex
job in view of limited storage resources. Due
to the huge database size of 15TB, the space
needed to be created by moving other
databases and reconfiguring the storage
as per SAP requirement without disturbing
the complete landscape. HPE planned and
carried out the complete job perfectly.
“We sat down with HPE to start the planning
in June 2014. Several mock runs were
carried out to test the strategy of a complete
reorganisation and compression of the
databases. It was a mission-critical task with
the potential of an adverse downstream
impact for our business users.
“The project was initiated on the production
database in December 2014, and with the
conversion of system files, was completed
before the end of January 2015. A huge
task that was impressively and successfully
undertaken. With special thanks to the
people involved Mr. Manish Srivastava,
Lokesh, both managers of IOCL, Vikas
Srivastava, senior manager of IOCL, and
Paramvir from HPE Support.”
