WNS Storage Virtualization Wins

The biggest advantage of the project was the increased ease in manageability and the number of storage boxes that it released. "I had specific ROIs to achieve. My operational expenses last year were lower than the years before, because of the virtualization and despite the growth of the company," says Jain. "Today, we are able to provide really fast response time to business growth," he adds. "And instead of buying new servers every time there's a need, we can grow fairly quickly. Sood agrees that WNS accrued savings, mostly in terms of recurring support and infrastructure management costs. "Future growth can be more effectively planned for since it's cheaper for us to add to this platform than to the earlier ones." WNS has harnessed the power of virtualized storage to retain its 19th position in the Global Outsourcing 100, which will help attract more business - like the 50 customers it added last year.
