Bilt Graphic Paper Private Limited (BGPPL), a subsidiary of Bilt Paper B.V., is a paper manufacturing company based in India, with manufacturing plants in Bhigwan, Ballarpur, and Ashti (state of Maharashtra) that have a total capacity of 670,000 MTPA. BGPPL has brought the most modern technology in the writing and printing segment to India intending to meet every demand of the rapidly progressing printing industry.
BGPPL has vast distributed infrastructure comprised of a fleet o f Windows servers. Further, the company employs different Fortinet firewalls and SD- WAN devices and utilizes a combination of technologies from Oracle, like Oracle Database and Oracle Cloud DR. Since its server and network infrastructure is distri buted across seven locations in India, achieving consistent, centralized monitoring was a huge challenge for BGPPL, leading to several performance problems not getting identified and resolved on time. Also, the company needed continuous visibility into its servers’ performance metrics since those devices power the most essential business services. BGPPL also needed to minimize problems arising from network downtime.
Having multiple solutions for network monitoring, firewall monit oring, and server monitoring can make it difficult to collect and correlate data an d draw meaningful insights. BGPPL was looking for a way to achieve complete infrastructure monitoring through a single solution.
Functionality, scalability of services, multi-vendor support, a gentless monitoring, and usability are among the reasons BGPPL purchased OpManager, according to Vikas Sangwan, a member of BGPPL's IT department.
After deploying OpManager, ManageEngine’s network management platform, BGPPL saw great improvement in the overall performance of its servers and network devices.
By providing complete visibility into crucial performance metrics such as availability; CPU, memory, and disk usage; and bandwidth utilization, OpManager helped BGPPL minimize downtime and simplify troubleshooting. As Sangwan said , "Maybe the human eye can't see a few things, but OpManager tracks everythi ng properly and gives us alerts before end users complain."
BGPPL uses OpManager for its servers, network devices, virtual machines, storage devices, and URLs on a daily basis for improved network perform ance. As a comprehensive network monitoring solution, OpManager helps BGPPL:
OpManager also helps the network admins at BGPPL configure thres hold alerts and get notified when the resources and services running on the comp any’s servers and network devices reach a particular value.
BGPPL estimates it now saves about $15,000 annually since implementing OpManager: $10,000 in downtime expenses and $5,000 from elimina ting or delaying additional hardware purchases.
