ONGC picks HPE GreenLake to modernize mission-critical infrastructure

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) said that Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has selected the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to run its advanced SAP S/4 HANA mission-critical environment.

SAP S/4 HANA will help the Indian state-owned oil and gas giant to enhance performance, expedite digitization, cut down transaction processing time, and get better insights from improved analytics, said Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

ONGC will host the SAP S/4 HANA workloads on the HPE GreenLake platform in its data centers because of strategic compliance, performance, and security priorities.

According to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the Indian oil and gas major has to continue meeting its commitment to national production while staying in line with new regulatory requirements and security protocols. Due to these, ONGC identified the necessity of modernizing its SAP workloads to make them flexible and scale up or down depending on new demands and enable it to digitize more applications, enhance analytics, and remove critical data loss.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise said that ONGC was planning for a pay-per-use model that can be quickly implemented without any effect on security as well as availability.

H.P Singh — Chief Information Officer at ONGC said: “At ONGC, we are driving improved process efficiency through information consolidation without compromising data security.

“HPE has been a trusted partner for a number of years, and through its strong partnership with SAP, we knew they had a deep understanding of our requirements.

“HPE GreenLake enables us to manage edge-to-cloud data from one platform and retain our mission-critical infrastructure within our own data centers, maintaining the best levels of security, which is crucial to our business.”

Hewlett Packard Enterprise claimed that HPE GreenLake through a pay-per-use model, delivers the ease, simplicity, and agility of the cloud experience while also assuring data security and compliance. The model ensures a buffer capacity of 30% that is available on-premises for scaling up and down as the business requires, which results in more flexibility for ONGC as it makes a complete refresh of its IT.

Furthermore, HPE GreenLake Central provides a dashboard to ONGC for monitoring and planning daily use and spend of IT for avoiding any hidden costs.

Som Satsangi — Hewlett Packard Enterprise India managing director said: “Customers are increasingly choosing the HPE GreenLake platform to obtain the best cloud experience for their industry-critical workloads, because it gives them the security and control of keeping and managing their apps and data wherever they want.

“Because our HPE GreenLake cloud services run on HPE technology solutions which have been perfectly tuned to run these different workloads, we can also deliver market-leading performance.”
