Case Study: Greenpanel Industries Limited modernizes IT and cuts OPEX by 46% with Dell Technologies VxRail HCI

How Dell Technologies helped Greenpanel remain ahead of the curve with the implementation of Dell Technologies VxRail HCI Appliance, based on VMware

Greenpanel Industries Limited, India’s largest wood-panel manufacturer, was running SAP ECC/HANA and CRM across an aging, multi-vendor 3-tier infrastructure with storage limits, management complexity, and co-located DC/DR sites. CIO Dr. Vineet Bansal wanted a scalable, highly available, easy-to-manage solution with minimal downtime and fast hardware delivery—Dell Technologies (Dell Technologies VxRail HCI Appliance, based on VMware) was selected to meet these requirements.

Dell Technologies deployed VxRail HCI with a TDI-based approach for SAP HANA, plus Dell OpenManage Enterprise and Dell ProSupportPlus with SupportAssist to consolidate servers and storage under a single pane of glass and automate monitoring/support. The project rolled out in under two months (≈2 weeks implementation), yielded a 60% reduction in rack space, 65–70% lower power consumption, 46% OPEX savings, an SAP HANA upgrade to 2.0, and a 7-year warranty, enabling Greenpanel to focus on innovation.
