Citrix R&D India Pvt. Ltd.

Challenges: Thermax was saddled with legacy infrastructure in the form of traditional desktops and the IT infrastructure was lagging behind. The other challenge faced was that of security and control. 

Solution: Thermax deployed IBM servers with 10 eight-core CPUs, and two six-core CPUs. The company has 30 Terabytes of NAS storage and 6 Terabytes of SAN storage. For its storage infrastructure, Thermax went for the latest Storwize v7000, which is known in the industry for its technology on realtime compression and storage virtualization.

Testimonial: “As a result of Citrix XenDEsktop deployment, my organization has now become BYOD (Bring your Own Device) ready. Today, we have about 20 tablet users who log in form anywhere. With the success of this project, we are seriously contemplating not to give desktops or laptops to our employees from now on. They can bring their own computers and tablets to work. I am less worried about the security issues now." - Anil Nadkarni, CIO, Thermax
