Data Centre Optimization

Saregama, renowned for its expansive music and content portfolio, struggled with an aging and fragmented data centre infrastructure that could not keep pace with escalating demands for digital distribution, content management, and streaming. Persistent inefficiencies led to high operational costs and serious challenges around scalability and resource management.

Cygnus responded by consolidating Saregama’s legacy servers into a modern hyperconverged infrastructure built on Dell EMC VxRail. Business workloads were migrated to a virtualized, software-defined data centre, supported by newly deployed energy-efficient compute, storage, and networking components. The initiative also encompassed disaster recovery and backup solutions to ensure business continuity, with centralized oversight and lifecycle management enabled via VxRail Manager.

This transformation resulted in a remarkable 40% reduction in operational and energy expenses, accompanied by a doubling in content delivery speed and overall system performance. Saregama gained the ability to scale seamlessly with digital platforms and OTT services, while VxRail’s integrated disaster recovery and automation capabilities enhanced operational resilience and simplified ongoing management.
