Esconet successfully revamps IT Infra, G&G data analytics for an oil and gas public sector company
Esconet not only successfully revamped the client's IT infrastructure to meet the challenges of G&G data analysis but also positioned them for future growth and innovation in the dynamic oil and gas exploration sector.
Business Challenges Faced
Data was growing at a rapid speed at a leading oil and gas public sector company in India, specializing in Geological & Geophysical (G&G) data analysis. Esconet embarked on this revolutionary project as the client’s primary objective was to revolutionize hydrocarbon exploration through advanced computing solutions, addressing challenges related to cost, infrastructure, and global collaboration.
The client grappled with efficiently handling and analyzing extensive G&G data, leading to escalating costs in software licensing and hardware maintenance across multiple global locations. The existing infrastructure lacked the required computing power and storage speed for complex algorithms and specialized Exploration & Production (E&P) software applications.
As the Esconet team interacted with the client’s business heads and IT teams, it was evident that there were multiple challenges on hand in the project. The imperative for a global, highly available, and secure solution became apparent as our team looked at the project requirements, to facilitate real-time collaboration among geologists and geophysicists scattered across diverse geographical locations.
The Right Solution
The technical team at Esconet conceptualized and executed a cutting-edge private cloud datacentre, leveraging Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) enhanced with GPU computing and all-flash storage..
The foundation of the solution rested on the VMware platform, ensuring a trifecta of reliability, scalability, and security.
The chief aim of data analytics is to apply statistical analysis and technologies on data to find trends and solve problems. Data analytics has become increasingly important in the enterprise as a means to analyze and shape business processes, and to improve decision-making and business results. With Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI), Esconet seamlessly integrated GPU computing and all-flash storage to deliver the high-performance computing necessary for the client's intricate data analysis requirements.
Realized Benefits for the Future
