Enterprise Use Cases

Common deployments Ogma has delivered across India

Oracle DB on PowerStore

All-flash with inline dedupe delivers sub-millisecond IOPS for Oracle OLTP. PowerStore appliance-side AI continuously rebalances across NVMe drives. Ogma sizes for 3× data growth.

VDI Boot Storm

PowerStore 1000T handles 2,000+ concurrent VDI boot storms with linked-clone dedup ratios of 8:1+. vVols integration with vCenter simplifies VM storage lifecycle.

Backup & DR with Data Domain

DD3300 or DD9800 for on-prem backup with 55:1 dedup. Paired with Veeam or Commvault. Replication to DR site or cloud (AWS, Azure) over low-bandwidth WAN.

Media & AI/ML with PowerScale

Unstructured data for broadcast, OTT, CCTV analytics, and AI training datasets. OneFS multi-protocol with native S3 lets GPU clusters and NFS workloads share the same namespace.

SAP HANA on PowerMax

SAP-certified PowerMax configurations for HANA scale-up. FIPS-140-2 encryption, synchronous replication (SRDF/S), and 99.9999% availability for Tier-0 ERP.

Tiered Cloud Storage (ECS)

ECS object storage as on-prem S3 target for cold tier. Seamless policy-based tiering to AWS Glacier or Azure Blob. Geo-redundant across two DC sites in India.

Why Choose Ogma for Dell Storage in India?

Authorized Dell Partner

Transact through official Dell partner programs — ensuring valid warranty, factory OEM support, and GeM DGS eligibility for government buyers.

Right-Sizing & Migration

We conduct workload analysis before sizing — avoiding over-provisioning. For migrations from legacy EMC, NetApp, or IBM arrays, we provide data migration plans with minimal downtime.

Multi-Year AMC & ProSupport

Ogma-managed AMC with 4-hour on-site SLA across NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai. ProSupport Plus includes predictive issue detection via CloudIQ telemetry.

Frequently Asked Questions

PowerStore is Dell's newer NVMe-native, AI-driven all-flash platform that also runs container workloads via AppsON. Unity XT is the previous generation mid-range supporting both all-flash and hybrid configurations. PowerStore is recommended for new deployments where performance and modern workloads are the priority. Unity XT remains cost-effective for file-heavy, capacity-oriented workloads where budget is a constraint.

Yes — Dell Technologies products are listed on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal. Ogma is a registered GeM seller. Government departments, PSUs, and autonomous bodies can place orders for PowerStore, Unity XT, Data Domain, and PowerScale through GeM, which satisfies public procurement norms. Contact Ogma for GeM quotations.

Dell offers Basic Next Business Day (NBD), ProSupport (24×7 phone and next-business-day parts), and ProSupport Plus (predictive issue detection via CloudIQ + proactive onsite). Ogma can procure and manage multi-year ProSupport contracts. We also offer supplementary Ogma AMC with dedicated 4-hour onsite SLA for critical deployments in metro cities.

Data Domain uses variable-length, inline deduplication at the segment level. Ratios vary by data type: for typical VM backups, 15:1 to 20:1; for SQL database backups, 8:1 to 12:1; for file server and email backups, 30:1 to 55:1 are common. The DD Boost protocol offloads dedup computation to the backup media server, reducing WAN traffic for remote backup by up to 80%. Ogma provides workload-specific dedup estimates during the presales sizing exercise.

Dell provides the Import Mobility feature in PowerStore that supports live (non-disruptive) migration from VNX, VNXe, Unity, and third-party arrays. For HP 3PAR and older non-Dell arrays, Ogma uses Dell's DMA (Data Migration Assistant) service or Veeam/PowerProtect DP-based logical migration. We build a migration runbook, validate data integrity post-migration, and then perform cutover during a short maintenance window — typically 2–4 hours for block workloads.
