In a world where cost reduction and doing more with less have become the norm, AMAN foundation continue to seek ways of increasing efficiencies and enhancing employee productivity while sustaining ever higher standards in health care.

The Aman Foundation is a local, self-funded, not-for-profit trust, based and operating in Pakistan. Inspired by a proactive commitment to the cause of human development, the Foundation aspires to make strategic interventions in Pakistan to support development in the areas of:

• Healthcare - with systems ranging from emergency medical response, community health workers, and tele-health initiatives to mother-and-child hospitals.
  
• Education and Skills - with a Vocational Training Institute designed to transform unemployed and untrained youth into productive members of society.
  
• Nutrition - with an emphasis to provide nutritious and hygienic food to school children to reduce hunger and malnutrition, and simultaneously increase enrolment and attendance.

AMAN Foundation was looking forward to implement number of discrete applications on individual servers that included HMRI, Nortel IP Telephony, Microsoft Infrastructure, etc. In many cases, each application required a dedicated server along with computing resources, their associated resources such as electrical power, cooling, rack space, cabling, and support personnel also needed an efficient management system.

To overcome these data center challenges, New Horizon worked with AMAN Foundation to deploy virtualized servers and other technologies like Nortel IP Telephony and Microsoft Infrastructure. Instead of the traditional design where one application runs on one physical server, a single physical server can now host multiple virtualized servers (also called virtualized machines) and support multiple applications from a single device.

AMAN Foundation uses VMware as the foundation for server virtualization in the data center. VMware vSphere supports the creation of virtualized servers, each potentially using multiple CPUs and multiple gigabytes of memory.

To maintain its leading position in the global market, AMAN Foundation also required a communications network that could keep up with its expanding and changing business, an investment that could bring in a flexible and scalable platform to meet current business needs and fulfill future business requirements. New Horizon provided an ideal solution to implement unified communications. The deployment included Nortel Contact Center and Microsoft Infrastructure elements along with VMware Server Virtualization, which was weaved together to create an integrated communications and applications platform for AMAN Foundation. The homogenous network encompasses multimedia, voice, telephony applications, complete HMRI Applications along with Microsoft infrastructure with the flexibility to easily evolve to meet AMAN Foundation's future needs.

New Horizon provided a distinctive Disaster Recovery Solution to Dawlance. New Horizon fulfilled the requirement of Dawlance of deploying a DR Site to safeguard the critical data of the organization.

Dawlance was engaged with New Horizon for planning their DR Site and lining out a plan that ensures a minimum outage in case of calamity. In this reference, New Horizon proposed a solution to Dawlance which features a robust and cost-effective DR Site. This solution includes virtualization technology, whereas the data is replicated through Veeam and Oracle Dataguard.

Virtualization offers a unique value proposition, with the opportunity to reduce costs while also increasing service levels. Nowhere is this value proposition more apparent than with data protection. Veeam provides the most comprehensive protection for your virtual environment, offering backup and replication through one solution. This gives flexibility to meet different recovery objectives (RTOs and RPOs) for different virtual machines (VM). You can replicate a VM on-site for high availability, off-site for disaster recovery, or back up using less expensive hardware and techniques. You save on software licenses-and realize additional benefits from virtualization. To ease data transfer to and from off-site locations, Veeam uses WAN bandwidth efficiently and lets you replicate over slow WAN links.

This solution delivers comprehensive resource consumption and workload data for hosts, clusters and data stores, with visibility all the way down to the individual VMs and applications running inside it. The solution has the capabilities to speed up analysis and troubleshooting, and will help Dawlance to determine potential resource bottlenecks for virtual server workloads and eventually the future of IT roadmap of Dawlance will be aligned with the latest technology.

Dawlance is the Premiere Home Appliances Company in Pakistan with 30 years of history. The company began its operation in 1980 with the production of Refrigerators. Today, beside Refrigerators, Dawlance is producing Washing Machines, Chest Freezers, Vertical Freezers, and Split AC & Microwave Ovens.
