Case Study: Blue Dart achieves a high-performance, scalable, energy-efficient data center with Dell Technologies

How Dell Technologies and Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic helped Blue Dart navigate logistics bottlenecks with Dell solutions

Blue Dart, South Asia’s premier express air and integrated transportation company serving 35,000+ locations in India and 220+ countries, faced performance and capacity issues from outdated IT infrastructure that hindered delivery assignment and scheduling during peak seasons and drove higher operational costs and power consumption. Blue Dart selected Dell Technologies (with implementation partner Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic) for its proven track record and to deploy best-in-class infrastructure including Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, Dell chassis and networking switches, and XtremeIO and Unity storage.

Dell Technologies and Hitachi implemented a phased, pilot-validated overhaul—deploying rack servers, high-availability storage with deduplication and compression, a centralized management console, and a DR center in Bangalore—while planning storage for the next five years. The Dell Technologies solution delivered a high-performance, scalable data center with lower power and cooling needs, reduced rack space, improved utilization, availability and simplicity, optimized costs and operations, and enabled Blue Dart to accept more sales onboarding requests during peak periods.
