Religare To Use HP Blade Servers To Run Mission-Critical Apps

HP has announced that Religare, a diversified financial services group, has selected HP blade server technology to support business growth and mitigate risk.

Over the last four years, Religare has grown both organically and through acquisitions. The firm boosted its global reach from a pan-Indian company to operations in the UK, USA, Brazil, South Africa, Dubai and Singapore. At the same time, Religare expanded its portfolio in new areas like life insurance, asset management and technology sectors. A consequence of this growth has been server sprawl and increased risk of downtime with critical applications residing on multiple server platforms.

To improve server utilisation and minimise risk, Religare chose to migrate its mission-critical applications and database to HP ProLiant BL460c servers housed within HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures. This implementation consolidated multiple servers, improving efficiency and providing scalability to support further business growth. Reliability and ease of installation were also key factors in Religare’s decision.
