Start-Up Innovates Affordable Fix For Website Crashes


KOLKATA: Websites going bust under excessive loads might soon be a thing of the past, thanks to an innovative technology.

A Kolkata-based start-up, Greenfield Software (GFS), has further tweaked and customized the prohibitively priced product to make it more affordable for small and mid-sized data centres in India.

Called data centre infrastructure management (DCIM), the software not only helps cut power and operating cost and mitigate risks, but also minimizes breakdowns at data centres.

However, the product, offered by global companies, which fulfils a vital necessity, can be afforded only by large manufacturing plants, utility and service providers.

They remained beyond the reach of small and mid-sized data centres, with less than 1,000 server racks, leaving them vulnerable to breakdowns.

Until the GFS, founded by Shekhar Dasgupta, former MD of Oracle India, stepped into the picture.

The customized product is the first to emerge from the heart of eastern India, traditionally perceived as a laggard in IT adoption.

The technology, which incorporates advanced features, pays for itself between 12 and 18 months.

Significantly, India, which may have earned the sobriquet for being the IT provider to the West, earning over $100 billion in annual exports, had only a few world beating software products, until now, to its credit.

GFS counts among its customers a prestigious media house and a large power utility, besides a large infrastructure finance institution in India and an oil company in the West.

The company is also handling a large project for major mobile operator in the South Asia region among others.
