Cloud Strategy Expertise
A manufacturing industry player, with close to 8000+ employees, running more than 50+ applications and a variety of operating system, sought to move away from its siloed, distributed architecture to a more dynamic, on-demand, agile, and future-ready IT infrastructure. BrainGrid was approached along with several other vendors. Working alongside IBM, BrainGrid migrated the entire infrastructure on cloud in less than 4 months without affecting the client’s operations. This was accomplished by planning scheduled downtimes and within the timelines committed. Resultantly, their operations were streamlined, bringing down their equipment, licensing and manpower costs by approximately 30 percent.


BrainGrid has partnered with few leading providers to cater to security and interoperability challenges


The rapid evolution of cloud technology is impressive, but the immaturity of many cloud solutions today can result in technical incompatibilities, integration issues and operational complexity. BrainGrid has partnered with few leading providers to cater to security and interoperability challenges, while helping customers to work on various cloud provider solutions. A lot of challenges emerge when a business moves an application between clouds. These challenges include rebuilding the application and application stack, setting up the network to give the application the same support it had in its original environment, security, manageability and handling data movement. With a team of trained and certified engineers, BrainGrid deploys technologies such as containerization, cloud optimization, hybrid cloud environments (e.g. in-premise private, public or private-public clouds), for seamless exchange of data as per evolving policies and open cloud standards.

BrainGrid looks forward to expanding geographically over the next 3 years. Having their pulse on consulting clients with latest technologies like AI, ML and Deep learning in mind, BrainGrid is looking at investing big in resources around services and training in HPC, SAP Hana, AI/ML/DL and IoT-based smart solution offerings with reputed partners in the Industry.
