John Keells IT (JKIT), launched a project to migrate IT infrastructure to MS Azure cloud at Rockland Distilleries (Pvt) Limited recently to enhance its SAP application performance, agility and stability.
The team at John Keells IT closely assessed the on-premises data centre with an onboard Disaster Recovery (DR) solution of the Rockland Distilleries and introduced the Azure project where a migration of IT infrastructure to Microsoft Azure cloud was implemented successfully.
Accessibility to a wide range of services on Azure Platform Services can be achieved through this latest implementation.
“Moving to Azure on cloud, away from on-premise hardware was the most logical step for Rockland Distilleries (Private) Limited as it opened up the means to scale workloads on-demand while also benefitting from a significantly improved service up-time,” said COO, John Keells IT, Nishan Thevathason.
Azure is a robust, reliable public cloud platform that offers critical advantages for essential applications including SAP, which has been a fundamental requirement for many organisations such as Rockland Distilleries (Private) Limited.
Group CIO of Rockland Distilleries, Ranga Karunaratna said, “Working with John Keells IT was a wonderful experience. They are process-oriented and have a diverse skill set. We sought a partner that is passionate about providing trustworthy solutions and, most importantly, who is culturally compatible with Rockland Distilleries (Private) Limited. John Keells IT not only met our objectives but also completed one of the most spectacular migration projects in the industry.”
