Over the last four years, Religare Enterprises Limited (REL) has grown both organically and through acquisitions. The firm also has established an international reach from a pan-Indian company to operations in the UK, USA, Brazil, South Africa, Dubai and Singapore, as added in a press release.

At the same time Religare added to its portfolio areas like life insurance, asset management and technology sectors. A consequence of this growth has been server sprawl and increased the risk of downtime with critical applications residing on multiple server platforms.

To improve server utilization and minimize risk, Religare chose to migrate its mission critical applications and database to HP ProLiant BL460c servers housed within HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures. This implementation consolidated multiple servers, improving efficiency and providing scalability to support further business growth. Reliability and ease of installation were also key factors in Religare’s decision.

“Considering our portfolio and customer base, it is a business imperative to be able to scale our technology infrastructure to meet growing demands,” said G. N. Nagaraj, Director & Chief Technology Officer, Religare Enterprises Limited. “All of Religare's mission critical applications and database now reside on HP Blade servers providing for our future growth.  These servers are scalable, reliable and more manageable.”
