Oil India can streamline business operations and improve digital experiences, says Paul
Oil India Ltd has selected Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), a leader in secure, AI-driven networks from Sunnyvale, California, for upgrades of its data center and campus networks to support the company’s sustainability goals and digital transformation journey that will contribute to India’s vision of energy independence.
With a flexible, high-performance Juniper IP fabric, Oil India will be able to automate key business and operational processes, increasing its business agility and creating more seamless experiences for its customers.
“Juniper’s experience-first solutions have helped us build a network that supports our efforts to streamline newer operational requirements through automation and hybrid data centers,” Chandan Kumar Barman, Deputy General Manager of IT, Oil India, said on 12 July 2022
“Having a Juniper network fabric in our data centers and offices gives Oil India improved business resiliency, greater flexibility and choices to deliver better digital experiences for our employees and customers.”
“We are honored to be a part of Oil India’s digital transformation journey, which will allow them to not only efficiently contribute to India’s vision of energy independence, but also support its growing economy with cleaner and more sustainable fuels,” said Sajan Paul, Managing Director & Country Manager, India & SAARC Juniper Networks.
“With an experience-first network, Oil India can streamline business operations in pursuit of delivering improved digital experiences for its employees and customers.
“We look forward to building a strong foundation that will offer exceptional business value and unprecedented levels of business and network performance in India’s oil industry,” said Paul.
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.
In the oil and gas sector, the security of critical infrastructure is vital. To protect Oil India’s data centers, Juniper’s SRX4200 Service Gateways, Security Director, and Junos Space Network Director were selected to configure and manage application security, intelligence and policies across its networks.
These new data centers also support Oil India’s use of autonomous drones and video analytics to detect leaks faster and protect against illegal activities. This enables Oil India to address health, safety and environmental issues across 2,000 kilometers of pipeline in a swift and effective manner. fiinews.com
