Case Study: Malayala Manorama achieves 24/7 news availability with Hitachi Vantara storage

Delivering 24/7 Availability for 24-Hour News

Malayala Manorama, one of India’s largest media houses, needed highly reliable IT infrastructure to keep its print, broadcast, and online operations running 24/7. To support constant availability for SAP and VMware-based workloads, the company turned to Hitachi Vantara and its Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) E-Series and Hitachi Advanced Servers.

Hitachi Vantara implemented a resilient three-data-center architecture with 100% data availability guarantee, enabling near-zero downtime and fast failover. The new environment improved application performance, cut storage management effort, reduced rack space by 66%, and lowered power and cooling costs by 70%, while helping Malayala Manorama complete the migration on time and within budget.
