Yotta Infrastructure has announced that Huhtamaki India has migrated its captive on-premise data centre to Yotta NM1 data centre at Panvel, Navi Mumbai. The cost implications of running a captive data centre and manageability issues arising out of pandemic prompted this move by Huhtamaki. To remain focused on business innovation and achieve considerable savings on the total cost of operations, the Huhtamaki IT team outsourced the data centre management to Yotta Infrastructure.
Despite having a global tie-up with a leading cloud infrastructure and data centre services provider and having evaluated multiple data centre service providers across Mumbai, Huhtamaki decided to award the contract to Yotta in India.
Yotta NM1 Datacenter now hosts 20+ applications of Huhtamaki India, including the core ERP, Active Directory (AD) Authentication, AD Server, Single Sign-On Service, Gateway Firewall, Esko WebCenter, and a whole host of other applications that are accessed by 3,300+ users across the country. The organisation is also leveraging the Private Cloud services of Yotta to meet the infrastructure needs required for the digitalisation of finance and accounts processes.
Commenting on the development Udit Pahwa, Head, Information Technology, Huhtamaki India, said, “The growing manageability issues coupled with the rising cost of operating a captive data centre coaxed us to go with a specialised colocation provider. The search for a right partner led us to Yotta, wherein apart from their world-class Yotta NM1 data centre facility, we were also impressed with the company’s vision of setting up massive hyperscale data centres across India and in the process, serving the needs of enterprises”. Pahwa further added, “By moving to Yotta, we are not only envisaging significant cost savings on the total cost of operations, but our internal IT team can now focus on the core functionalities of managing and monitoring the enterprise applications.”
Meanwhile, Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, and CEO, Yotta Infrastructure said, “In a bid to drive innovation agenda and align their business transformation efforts, enterprises across industries are gradually moving from their captive data centre set up to a third-party, multi-tenant data centre. And we, at Yotta, are very proud to have become a preferred colocation partner for one such enterprise – Huhtamaki India. Being chosen by the county’s leading packaging major reaffirms our commitment of meeting the demands of India’s growing colocation market.”
