Wonder Cement Gets Better Flexibility Through Citrix Solutions

Wonder Cement Ltd, a Rajasthan based cement manufacturing major, today announced the implementation Citrix server, desktop and application virtualization solutions resulting in better flexibility ease of manageability and significant savings for the organization.

Promoted by R.K. Marble Group, an industry leader in mining and marble processing. Wonder Cement Ltd was established as their most recent venture for cement manufacturing.

The company opened a new manufacturing plan at Chittorgarh in Rajasthan, with a capacity to produce 2.5mn metric tons of cement per annum. Even though R.K. Marble Group has various home-grown IT solutions in place, they realized the need for a consolidated IT infrastructure while foraying into the cement manufacturing business.

Commenting on this deployment, ArunAttri, General Manager-IT, Wonder Cement Limited, said “Rather than opting for a physical IT infrastructure overhaul, we decided to invest in server, desktop and application virtualization which has paid rich dividends. Citrix solutions delivered unparalleled performance and helped us significantly to reduce operational costs, capital expenditure while strengthening security, manageability and mobility requirements of our organization.”

Sanjay Deshmukh, Area Vice President, India Subcontinent – Citrix said, “It is extremely encouraging to see companies in smaller towns of India make a progressive decision of choosing Citrix Desktop Virtualization and Server Virtualization solutions. We will support Wonder Cements to improve productivity and flexibility for users and also to reduce cost of managing IT by consolidating and virtualizing desktops and servers.

Citrix orchestrated the process of building the IT infrastructure by virtualizing applications and desktops through Citrix XenApp and Citrix XenDesktop, which were hosted on the virtual Citrix interface. A clear strategic phased roadmap was devised for the implementation.

In the first phase that was completed in just one week, the seven pre-existing blade servers were virtualized into multiple virtual servers, to support all of the company’s applications such as e-mailing Blackberry Enterprise Server, Share Point Portals, HRMS, IP based Surveillance etc. The company derived 60% saving on power consumption; thus further reducing its carbon footprint.

The solution also provided Wonder Cement with the much-needed flexibility. Whenever there is a need to provision a new server, the IT team requires deploying virtual machine from snapshot and another server instance is ready within a matter of an hour. In the second phase, the company deployed Citrix XenApp that centralized applications and delivered it to remote users instantly and securely.

The solution was able to provide an uptime of around 98.5% to the business. Thirdly the company virtualized 100 desktops at the manufacturing plan to deliver desktops and applications that are customized to meet the performance security and mobility requirements of every individual user.

By replacing traditional desktops with Citrix XenDesktop, the IT team can now manage and update both operating system and applications from a single location. Replicating its success, the company plans to ramp up its virtual desktops from 100 to 600 over the next two years.

CONTEMPORARY CITY FOR THREE MILLION INHABITANTS

Urban design by Le Corbusier, 1922 Exhibited in 1922 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, the Contem-porary City for Three Million Inhabitants was Le Corbusier’s first comprehensive urban-planning project. Accompanied by a 100-square-meter diorama, it consisted of a rigidly geometric, centralized orthogonal plan with monumental axes, uniform modern buildings, vast expanses of open space covering 85 to 95 percent of the surface, and a system of highways. The project was seen simultaneously as a breathtaking modern vision and as the destruction of the familiar urban setting. Influence on the project ranged from American gridded cities, Peter Behrens’ work, and Tony Garnier’s Une Cité industrielle (1901–04, 1917; An Industrial Town) to Bruno Taut’s Utopian Die Stadtkrone (1919; The City Crown). By 1922 Le Corbusier was one of the major figures of the Modern movement, and the Contemporary City marked a high point in a period of extraordinary activity. It incorporated two ideas that he had been...

DOM-INO HOUSES

Housing design by Le Corbusier, 1914–15 and later Between 1914 and 1915, Le Corbusier, partly encouraged by his friend Max du Bois, conceived of a standardized system of construction using reinforced concrete, which was to provide the structural basis of most of his houses through the mid-1930s. These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses. Derived from the Hennebique frame, it consisted of six thin concrete columns that simply carried two horizontal slabs as the floors. The columns and slabs were connected by staircases. Apart from this structural core of the houses, nothing else was fixed, thus permitting a great flexibility to suit demands on the basis of aesthetics, climate, composition, or view. The floor plan was also extremely flexible, as interior partitions were independent of the grid. This utterly simple and clear “open plan” method did away with load-carrying walls. Suppor...
