“Our data was previously stored in multiple locations. In continuing our digitization project, we wanted to consolidate all data into a single, mappable location so it was easily discoverable and able to be used by different departments within the company. Previously there was resistance to investment in new technology because it has complicated processes and hampered access to data. With Dell EMC Isilon storage, content is immediately available and the entire team is very happy with the performance delivered.”

Isilon storage will help ensure continuation of Saregama India Ltd‘s IT transformation process and at the same time will help the company to optimize its content processing, cataloging, searching and distribution. This will help Saregama to be the most popular source for Indian music content.”
