India’s energy consumption continues to rise as industries recover from the effects of the global pandemic and economic growth picks up. During the country’s 75th Independence Day, the government announced a new goal to transform India into an energy independent nation by 2047. In support of India’s vision of energy independence, Oil India has accelerated its digital transformation journey with the goal of streamlining business and operational processes, using data to make better decisions and enabling new ways of working.
To support its vision of IT transformation and digital readiness, Oil India recognized the need to refresh its network infrastructure so that applications and services can be deployed and moved more seamlessly from one data center to another. Building on a history of successful collaboration, Oil India chose Juniper to build scalable and resilient data center and campus networks that will be key enablers of its digital transformation journey.
Juniper’s QFX5120 Series Switches were deployed in the data centers at Oil India’s headquarters in Duliajan, Assam, while the combination of QFX5120 and QFX5110 Switches serve as a resilient campus core. Oil India also selected the EX4300 Series Switches for its campus distribution layer and adopted a Spine-Leaf architecture with EVPN-VXLAN for the campus core.
With the EVPN-VXLAN fabric from Juniper, the Oil India team can efficiently build and connect their primary data center, near disaster recovery data center and campus core networks, in an agile, seamless and secure manner. The network also supports the use of business process automation tools, which have helped the team reduce workloads and achieve faster turnaround times, resulting in better service experiences for their customers.
