1. Club Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Consolidates IT Infrastructure
with Riverbed
Improves Performance of Web-based Applications, Speeds the Sharing of
Information between 19 Offices
Bangalore, – October XX 2008 – Riverbed Technology (Nasdaq: RVBD), the technology
and market leader in wide-area data services (WDS), today announced that Club
Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Ltd has selected and deployed Riverbed®
Steelhead® appliances. The deployment across its 19 locations in India allowed Club
Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Ltd to consolidate its IT infrastructure while
increasing the performance of its business applications.
Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Ltd., (MHRIL) a part of the Infrastructure Sector of
the Mahindra Group, brings to the industry values such as Reliability, Trust and
Customer Satisfaction. Started in 1996, the company‟s flagship brand „Club Mahindra
Holidays‟, today has a fast growing customer base of over 60,000 members and 15
beautiful Resorts at some of the most exotic spots in India and abroad.
Prior to the Riverbed deployment, the Club Mahindra team faced major concerns and
challenges with the performance of business applications over their wide area network
(WAN). For cost and ease of connectivity, Club Mahindra locations are interconnected
via a satellite network (VSAT). Even at the maximum capacity bandwidth offered, offices
in the North and South of India continued to experience high latency and slow
application performance which affected user productivity. Due to the inherent latency of
VSAT communications, Club Mahindra faced significant performance issues with the
centralized backup process for their users‟ critical data and patch management.
After a successful trial between its Chennai and Bangalore offices, Club Mahindra
extended the Riverbed deployment to all its 19 offices. The 19 offices of Club Mahindra
now enjoy more than the promised benefits – consolidation of IT infrastructure to the
central data enter, enhancing user performance, optimized bandwidth by the removal of
latent and repetitive data and more importantly generating ROI.
“Buying bandwidth is expensive; however with Riverbed Wide-area Data Services
(WDS) technology, organizations can succeed in using less bandwidth thereby saving IT
costs. Simultaneously, the Riverbed Steelhead appliance can improve application
performance and download time, allowing every office within an organization to increase
productivity and enhance their collaboration across geographies. This is exactly what
Club Mahindra has embarked on and is reaping full benefits of its deployment,” said
Vivek Singh, regional director, India & SAARC at Riverbed Technology.
