Ranbaxy uses this network for running their SAP ERP applications across the country. The central SAP servers are located in Delhi, which the various offices of Ranbaxy and their stockists need to reach on a real time basis for transacting business. Ranbaxy also uses Internet Bandwidth for providing Internet access to their offices as well as deploying web based applications.

Sify has helped Ranbaxy in creating the countrywide network by using Virtual Private Network technology. The different offices and C&F agents of Ranbaxy connect to their local Sify Network Operation Center in the same city by using different kinds of connectivity options, such as Leased line at the central location, ISDN lines and PSTN dial-up lines. Sify in turn connects them seamlessly to the central location of Ranbaxy where the main servers are hosted. Sify also provides Ranbaxy with premium internet bandwidth at two locations in Delhi and one location in Mumbai.

Since some of the offices of Ranbaxy have very low volume of data transaction, Sify has provided these offices with local PSTN dial-up connectivity, thus making the solution a commercially attractive one as well.
